Britain's Prince Charles and his sons, William and Harry, began their first joint visit to North America since the death of Princess Diana. The chartered jet carrying Charles and Harry touched down at Vancouver's airport under threatening skies Monday evening. The royal party headed quickly to a hotel, but first greeted a waiting crowd -- and Harry, 13, accepted several red roses from young girls. William flew to Canada on a separate commercial flight. (He is not allowed to use the same aircraft as his father because he is second behind Charles as heir to the British throne...
...Fort Belvoir, just south of Washington, five of the six sat listening in disbelief, some in tears, others stone-faced. Sergeant Major Brenda Hoster, McKinney's former public affairs aide (now retired), who was the first to come forward and who testified that McKinney propositioned her in her hotel room during a 1996 Army trip to Hawaii, shook her head in disgust. McKinney stood rigidly at attention, betraying no emotion. Behind him, his wife Wilhelmina wept, mouthing the words "Yes, yes, yes" at the string of "not guiltys," then "Oh, no" at the lone conviction...
...women are nothing and his character is everything." But after the verdicts, McKinney's civilian lawyer, Charles Gittins, praised his client's relaxed demeanor on the stand and noted that his accusers had "credibility problems."

The needle on the gas meter is on the running-on-fumes side of EMPTY, and there's even an exclamation mark shining crimson on the dashboard. But Campbell, preternaturally polite, continues blithe small talk. "Is that band the Cult still together?" she asks. You confess that when it comes...
...door bangs open, and Yo-Yo Ma blows into the hotel room with a cheerful, disarming grin and a loud "Ta-daa!" As an entrance, it is both worthy of a superstar and, in its self-aware over-the-topness, a commentary on the absurdity of being a superstar in the first place. Heeeeeere's Yo-Yo Ma, the postmodern virtuoso! Lugging his cello and dressed in formal attire for a just completed photo shoot--tight scheduling is one of the defining characteristics of his day-in, day-out existence--he takes off his jacket and asks the two journalists...
