...standards of duty and loyalty to country, there are more successful princesses than Diana in this world. If only the international media was not English-dominated, we in America would have had much better model female consorts to follow. Take, for instance, Princess Alexandra of Denmark. A Eurasian former economist, she works hard to improve Danish trade. Or Crown Princess Masako of Japan '85, who was able to adapt herself to a most private and ancient family without a murmur.

A minister, a corporate lawyer, a playwright, an economist, a telephone-company executive. They couldn't imagine Einhorn's harming any living thing. Release of murder defendants pending trial was unheard of, but Einhorn's attorney was soon-to-be U.S. Senator Arlen Specter, and bail was set at a staggeringly low $40,000--only $4,000 of it needed to walk free.
