...press not to repeat it, and the Queen had to be assured that the remark was untrue. Possibly as a result of her lip, Diana's long-term private secretary resigned, followed by his assistant and the chauffeur. Meanwhile, a Church of Scotland minister announced that Diana's father Earl Spencer told him as a young man that he had dated Princess Elizabeth before she became QEII. And the Queen's other daughter-in-law had the honor of becoming the first royal-family member to be sued over a debt. A society hostess claims Sarah Ferguson owes...
...paintings, two-thirds of the master's surviving output. Because Vermeer's work is so rare, no such gathering of it has been made since his lifetime, or will happen again in ours. But, on Dec. 16, the show had to close. Last week the National Gallery's director, Earl ("Rusty") Powell III, managed to scrape together the necessary $12,000 or so a day from private museum funds to reopen the Vermeer galleries--though none of the rest of the museum--for just a week, until this Wednesday.

Princeton (4-1) suffered its first set-back of the season Tuesday, 65-56 at the hands of intrastate rival Mon-mouth. The Tigers' offense sputtered, managing just 20 points by halftime. Only freshman guard Brian Earl reached double figures, leading the Tigers with 11 points. The loss snapped Princeton's four-game winning streak during which it outscored its opponents by an average of just under 12 points per game...
...WHEN EARL WILD PERFORMS, the Golden Age of the keyboard suddenly reappears. Like the great romantic showmen who flourished before World War II, Wild revels in the sensuality and sheer kineticism of the piano, reminding his listeners that it is the only instrument capable of emulating both the tender nuances of vocal music and the thunderous range of the orchestra. When Wild plays, the pallid noodling that often passes for pianism these days vanishes: one hears the grand echoes of Paderewski, Rachmaninoff and Josef Hofmann...
