...real interest now is the story of the conspiracy," says Peter Hill, editor of London newspaper the Daily Express. "There's an enormous number of people who simply do not believe that [Diana's death] was just an accident." For whatever reason - nostalgia, loyalty, morbid curiosity - readers are still drawn to Diana. "She was a gift to the media when she was alive," says former royal correspondent Nicholas Owen, whose book Diana: The People?s Princess was published June 4.

Yet when we separated colliding fields in the General Education curriculum and sought to include everything somewhere, we wound up with an eight-course requirement. A tautly drawn six, pushing some fields together and omitting others, would have been better: In the new system, students may have less curricular freedom than ever. Our years of weak leadership will translate into thousands of extra course requirements for each entering class...
