Right now, aside from bathetic song tributes and the mastications of the self-loathing news media, no one knows what to do about Diana's death; the public, for its part, is mesmerized by its operatic grief.

As he paid tribute to his sister's glorious, pained life in the most watched eulogy in history, he inveighed against a rapacious press, denounced, however subtly, the monarchy's benighted stoicism and emerged suddenly as a controversial hero in the drama of Princess Diana's death--a powerful executor of her spiritual will...
