What seems almost certain from the doctors at the scene is that Diana was beyond the point of rescue when help reached her. Some still wonder, pointlessly, whether a seat belt would have made a difference for her as it did for Rees-Jones. He alone survives, recuperating slowly and painfully in the same Paris hospital at which the princess died. His story will be well worth hearing--when he regains consciousness and, more important, if he can recall what happened...
Meader wasn't totally washed out of show business: today he sings and plays honky-tonk piano in small nightclubs in Maine. But it is with Meader and more recent news events in mind that we offer similar sympathy to the producers of Diana & Me, a romantic film comedy about a woman who is obsessed with the Princess of Wales. In her effort to meet Diana, the heroine hooks up with and eventually falls for a paparazzo who is stalking Diana. This lighthearted Australian production finished shooting only recently, not long before the paparazzi-related automobile accident that has riveted...
...lech only because viewers have already come to the same conclusion. It is our comic shorthand for Clinton. Of course, all public figures exist in shorthand versions, comic or not--that's what being a public figure is all about.

But that will surely change, if not soon enough for the cheeky-sounding Diana & Me, then at least to the benefit of some solemnly phony TV movie. As the old joke goes, "Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?" Show business ultimately trumps...
...first-degree murder in the death of Roberto Villegas, 38, an internationally ranked Argentine polo star who coached her, trained her horses and played for her Ashland Farm team. On Sunday, Sept. 7, when Fauquier County authorities arrived at the 300-acre estate where Cummings and her twin sister Diana live, they found Villegas dead on the kitchen floor with multiple bullet wounds to the neck and chest. Four spent shell casings and a pistol were on the floor in the hall leading to the kitchen...
