...chance or mistake, it turns out that you have not been invited, do not despair. Neither have some 231,964,159 other Americans, give or take a dozen or so. Only a select seraphim of the moneyed and powerful will meet Charles and Diana when they make their three-day visit this weekend to Washington and then, after a brief frenzy of sight-seeing, partygoing and media deluge, hop down to Palm Beach for a round of polo and another party. But after all, what are you missing? Up close, Charles is a polite, diffident, self-conscious fellow...
Charles and Diana are arguably the most famous, the most glamorous couple in the world. They are also, for what it is worth, the putative future King and Queen of the United Kingdom. It is unavoidable that they be relentlessly scrutinized, endlessly clucked over and often wickedly sniped at. Of late, however, they have stirred up even more than the usual ruckus on three separate continents. Two weeks ago, they captivated an audience of 18.6 million when they appeared in an unprecedented 45-minute interview on ITV, Britain's independent television network. (U.S. viewers will be able...

SCHWARTZ BEGINS BY introducing the people who live in 547 Riverside. Eighty-year old Diana Stamoulis, who moved into the building in 1958. Blair and Bob Birmelin, who moved in the same year as the author and her husband and who seemed to take turns with the Schwartzes having babies. In just a few pages, the list of names becomes a group of people--raising children, helping each other when the elevator breaks down, making their apartments part of their lives...
...singing so. With fellow Philly Cheeses Bill Cosby and David Brenner, LaBelle, 41, has done an "I Love Philadelphia" commercial as part of the city's civic-pride campaign. She can well afford to be supportive. After toiling for years in the shadow of Soul Sisters Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross and Tina Turner, the singer is finally coming into her own. LaBelle was a major contributor to the 1984 Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack, and her performance at the Live Aid benefit was one of the show's high points. In addition, she has a new album, Patti, out, just finished...
