...departure it seems that Princess Diana cleaned house after marrying the heir to the throne in 1981. All of Prince Charles' longtime servants--Barry joined the staff in 1967--disappeared in quick order. Diana had many problems adjusting, most of which were reported in the International Press.

Kennan and Gerard Smith, chief negotiator of the SALT I treaty, Bundy recently urged the U.S. and NATO to adopt a no-first-strike policy toward nuclear weapons, and has said that President Reagan's Star Wars proposal does not "respect reality." Head of the Ford Foundation from 1966 to 1979, Bundy, 66, is now a history...
...understand why and how the enemy fought on. "Just look at the figures and you'll see that they have failed," he said. "Ho's people are just not telling him about his losses. If Tet was a Communist victory, losing 30,000 men, I can only hope that they have many more similar victories...
