...with commemorative thimbles and dry royal couple plates with royal couple tea towels, a steal at $3.30. Smokers can light up with Charles and Diana lighters and extinguish butts in C & D ash trays. Tea drinkers can sip from a C & D mug, pour cream from a C & D jug, add sugar with a keepsake teaspoon. Di fans can purchase a copy of her famous décolleté dress for $150-one-tenth the price of the original-and store it on a Lady Di hanger. For fun, there is a crossword puzzle with answers that form a princely...
...Germans call it Schmiergeld (grease money), though export traders usually simply say N.A. for niitzliche Abgabe (useful contribution).

Hanigan allegedly forced the Mexicans into his truck at gunpoint and then summoned his father George...
...metric measurement, the cost of boozing has been confusing. Pints, fifths, quarts, half-gallons and gallons are being replaced in stores by new-size bottles. The quart, for instance, is being supplanted by a container holding 1 liter (a good slurp more than the old bottle); a half-gallon jug of vino now comes in a 1.5-liter size, while the half-gallon of hard stuff has become a 1.75-liter container. Judging the better buy between sizes is enough to drive an Einstein to drink. A handy tool to avert befuddlement is "The Liquor & Wine Pocket Saver," a small...
