Diana's cortege was joined along the way by five of the men in her life: her ex-husband and former father-in-law, Prince Charles and Prince Philip; her brother Charles, Earl Spencer; and her two sons, Prince William, 15, and Prince Harry, who will turn 13 next week. They walked behind her coffin, and then so did five representatives from each of the 110 charities with which Diana had been associated. A few were in wheelchairs, a few more on crutches. They were not the sort of people ordinarily invited to march in royal processions, but they were...

Consider my septuagenarian father-in-law Exhibit A in the battle against spyware- the malicious software that operates on a computer without the user's informed consent.

...Kaine had his own state political luminary at his side this weekend-a former Governor, and a Republican former Governor, at that. His father-in-law is A. Linwood Holton, 82, who as Governor from 1970 to 1974 was known for his progressive stances on integration and busing. On Sunday morning, Holton joined what the Kaine campaign called a "family hike" at a state park on the Virginia-Kentucky border, where the overlooks offered spectacular pageants of fall foliage. Kaine, a lawyer and former Richmond Mayor, has tied himself to his running mate from 2001, Gov. Mark Warner, a Democrat...
