Prince Charles and Princess Diana are a handsome and delightful young couple who have the good fortune to be living a real-life fairy tale. Their appeal is universal. Even so, the amount of media hype accorded their visit to the U.S. is beyond reason. The majority of Americans, who do not live in either Washington, D.C., or Palm Beach, Fla., realize that the visit is inconsequential, a prime example of a media-created event. Jack W. Gould DeSoto, Texas...

...more absurd collection of trivia and maudlin, boring gossip than the Charles and Diana story would be difficult to imagine. Why we Americans should continue to be so obsessed with the comings and goings of an effete and parasitic monarchy, which we shed our blood in 1776 to be rid of, will forever remain a mystery to me. This is not to denigrate the civility or the quality of other British cultural institutions for which we have a deep and abiding respect. But after all is said, God bless the Republic. Jerome L.

...live in the area where the Dale Burr murders occurred. Within a 100-mile radius, I know of three similar fatalities. It is sad that it took this tragedy to make national news. Thank you for making the world realize how bad the farming situation is. Diana Olgier Lewis Muscatine, Iowa...

...band includes the Marquess of Worcester on vocals and the 19th Duke of Somerset on drums. A horsewoman and London-educated artist, Lady Teresa found her latest calling after she was invited to sing backup vocals for the one-year-old band, which counts Rolling Stone Mick Jagger and Diana among its fans. True to her class, Lady Teresa remains unmoved by critics ("Not always in tune," said the Daily Mail). "I don't have to rely on my looks," she sniffs. "I rely on character." --By Guy D. Garcia
