...ducal revenues be turned over to the government. "He felt he wanted to make a gesture of this sort," said a palace spokesman. But the troubled Exchequer will get no great boost from the gift, which comes on Nov. 14, Charles' 21st birthday. While Charles was a minor, most of the ducal income was used to help pay Queen Elizabeth's annual salary of $1,140,000. Now the treasury must make up the difference...

The winged locusts were turned back, and the young locusts died before they could develop wings. The FAQ thus managed to reduce a possible plague to a minor annoyance...

But it has museum officials from coast to coast up in outraged arms. The clause eliminates the tax-free status of art donated to museums-and thereby strikes at the heart of the way in which U.S. museums have been built. In Europe, the great museums, from the Louvre and the Prado to the Uffizi, house collections that were initially accumulated by kings and princes. Most are still...
