...together such an introspective, apolitical book. But, Walker says, she resisted the pressure "to make a book I really wasn't all that desperate to read." An essay by Veena Cabreros-Sud tells us how empowering it can be to have random fistfights with strangers. And there's the interview with model Veronica Webb titled "How Does a Supermodel Do Feminism?," in which she explains that while the fashion industry may make women feel inadequate, there is a physically deformed little girl she knows "who actually has more self-confidence than...
...brother, Earl Spencer, is lashing out at Mohammed Al-Fayed, her lover's father. Al-Fayed claims that Diana asked a witness to her crash to pass along her last words to him.
