...white turbans from his beloved India, Gurkhas in exotic black pillbox hats and a contingent of veterans from the U.S. and France. Prince Charles and the Duke of Edinburgh, Mountbatten's great-nephew and nephew, walked behind the casket, their faces taut with grief. So did a group of comrades who survived the 1941 sinking off Crete of the H.M.S. Kelly, captained by Mountbatten.

Burger told reporters last month that the Gannett decision is limited to pretrial hearings. Justice Harry Blackmun, who dissented in the case, told a group of federal judges that "despite what my colleague, the Chief Justice, has said," the opinion allows the closing of full trials as well.
