...name, according to the posters she scotch-taped to my brother’s mirror, is Shelli. According to age-old tradition, she was obliged to decorate my brother’s bedroom before the big Thanksgiving Day game against the Barnstable Red Raiders’ arch-rivals, the Falmouth Clippers. I was, of course, appalled.

Partly this is sympathy for a woman who has just lost her sister, Princess Margaret, who died at age 71 in February, and mother, who died Easter weekend at 101. Perhaps, after the throngs that lined London's streets for the Queen Mother's funeral, it also represents a surprised rediscovery that the royal family-not just charismatic black sheep Diana...
