Guests at next summer's Republican National Convention in Philadelphia can start planning for the 55 different parties, lighted boat parade and fireworks that will spell out G.O.P. 2000.

Member of Parliament John Cryer pointed out that the Prince "has never had to do anything for his wealth," while the Times of London editorialized, "It ill-behooves a prince to diminish...

In this season of George W. Bush, a pleasant enough Governor of modest achievement, one is forced to ask, "If his name were George Walker, would he be a presidential candidate, let alone the runaway front runner for the Republican nomination...
