...threw for CAMILLA PARKER BOWLES at his Highgrove estate. Camilla turned up early in a dazzling diamond necklace, possibly a gift from Charles, to greet guests--including her ex-husband. The bash was held in a 120-ft.-long marquee in Highgrove's meticulously tended gardens. Everyone was happy except perhaps the local vicar, who pointed out to the BBC a few days before the festivities that Charles as King would be an inappropriate Defender of the Faith if he continued to commit adultery.

...seems a bit less authentic than Attack of the Crab Monsters. To their credit, the filmmakers do not pretend that terrorists masquerading as Russian cameramen could simply stroll onto the President's plane; the script calls for a rogue Secret Service agent to give them their security clearances. Fine--except that even the mechanics on Air Force One work on a buddy system, one keeping tabs on the other. So presumably you need at least two rogue agents.

At an afternoon press conference, FBI Special Agent...

After the Siamese-twin government replaced the Vietnamese-installed regime, the chaotic and corrupt new administration accomplished almost nothing except to set up Ranariddh and Hun Sen as competing warlords. The situation became increasingly unstable when Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge, the other pocket of Cambodian power for 19 years, started to fall apart last year in its hidden jungle exile. First Prime Minister Ranariddh, son of venerable King Sihanouk, started negotiations with the disintegrating guerrilla group, offering jobs in his army, which was far smaller than Second Prime Minister...
