After an abortive attempt to kidnap Princess Anne last year, bulletproof limousine windows and armed drivers were urged upon the royal family-and quietly turned down. Northern Ireland, which seethes with religious civil war, presents the major security nightmare. No member of the royal family has visited the province since 1966, and on the rare occasions when a Prime Minister or Cabinet officer travels to Ulster, security is essentially military, provided by legions of armed, uniformed troops...

Though Buckingham Palace spokesmen dismissed the business as a simple case...
...continually behind her back at CBS. "He said that he was sorry, that he hadn't realized I felt that way. I think he was stunned by my perception of him." Don Hewitt, a producer who went with Quinn to London as her director for the coverage of Princess Anne's wedding, and who Quinn claims kept the cameras off her in retaliation for her rejection of his persistent sexual overtones, has not called her. But she says, "I've heard stories about him crying in the elevator in his apartment building, and I've heard stories about him being...
