...speed and manner of driving of the following vehicles [and] the impairment of the judgment of the driver of the Mercedes through alcohol." And all eleven believed that the fact that Diana and Dodi weren't wearing seat belts and that the Mercedes hit a pillar in the Pont d'Alma tunnel, instead of a larger surface that might have lessened the impact, were major factors in the deaths. Just as Baker directed, the jury delivered exactly the same verdict for both Diana and Dodi...
...particularly egregious act of art criticism (or, more likely, drunken vandalism), someone broke into Paris' Musée d'Orsay Oct. 7 and punched a hole in Claude Monet's Le pont d'Argenteuil. Here's how one expert recommends fixing the 4-in. (10 cm) tear...
...That journey began at the swank Ritz Hotel on the Place Vendome, and continued to the Place de la Concorde and the unscheduled rendezvous with the press pack waiting to pounce.

That's 10 years of investigation, speculation and accusation, all building up to this point. But if Day One is any indication, anyone expecting a real-life episode of Law & Order to play out in London's Royal Courts of Justice will be sorely disappointed. The proceedings started as they are meant to go on: calmly, soberly...
