...marriage is dead; long live the marriage's signal achievement. Last Friday the announcement came of a final divorce settlement between the Prince and Princess of Wales. Diana gets a generous financial deal and retains several privileges, although not the right to style herself as Her Royal Highness. Charles rids himself of the difficult, crowd-pleasing woman he married in what seems another age. But while Charles and Diana's legal ties are being severed, they are still joined by their children, and whatever their failures as husband and wife, they seem to have made a success of their roles...
...Royal Highness but keeping the title of Diana, Princess of Wales. As a result, she could be expected to curtsy to the Queen, her husband and her sons. Although no formal announcement of the settlement was made, Diana is expected to get a $15 million lump sum and a generous annual allowance. She will also keep her apartments at Kensington Palace. Prince Charles, when he ascends to the throne, will be the first divorced monarch since George I, who reigned between 1714 and 1727. He is, however, now free to marry longtime love interest Camilla Parker Bowles, who divorced...
...Baumohl. At issue is an agreement the government had made in the '80s, when it encouraged healthy thrifts to take over failing S&L's by allowing them to report the losses sustained by the insolvent institutions as "goodwill" assets.

The change left many thrifts financially devastated; several sued. The Court ruled that it would have been "madness" for the three S&Ls named in the case at hand...
...Palestinians, Netanyahu promised, will never have a state of their own. Negotiations will go forward, but all he says he will offer the Palestinians is a "very generous" autonomy deal: freedom to run their own internal affairs, with the exception of foreign policy and overall security. The Palestinians already have that. The principle of the Oslo accords was that the autonomy period would be a five-year transition to greater self-determination. Netanyahu wants to freeze things as they are, though that would squash the most minimal of Palestinian aspirations...
...assured; but more than that, he has the air of someone who is pleased with himself, someone who thinks he knows more than those around him--and deserves more. It is visible in his swagger, his smirk, his well-practiced gestures. Only a man with supreme confidence and a generous sense of entitlement could have wrested control of the Likud Party as a relative newcomer. And only a man with such qualities would, at 46, have sought to become Israel's Prime Minister, a post to which no one under 60 had ever been elected...
