...Society For The Preservation Of History markets a high-quality collectible porcelain doll bearing the likeness of the late Princess Diana. In your "Di-ploitation Watch" item [PEOPLE, Nov. 17], you falsely claimed, without ever seeing an actual doll, that we are marketing a "cheesy Franklin Mint knockoff." The fact is our collectible doll is an original design produced by renowned artisans using the highest-quality materials. We did not copy any product of the Franklin Mint, and, in fact, we advertised this doll weeks before that firm came out with its model. Our doll is sold with an unconditional...
...able to show their emotions when it comes to losing the things that are really important to them ? like the 44-year-old Royal Yacht Britannia. In contrast to the studiously stony faces shown at September's funeral, Thursday saw Elizabeth, Philip and the kids practically awash with tears. Princess Anne got out her hankie, the Queen's chin was seen to tremble, and her husband wiped his eyes for perhaps the first time in public at a ceremony to say good-bye to their magnificent floating holiday home...
...Such a scene may not play well in the press, but it's not hard to see why the emotions differed so greatly from the Princess' farewell. As far as the Queen was concerned, Diana brought nothing but a decade of trouble to the House of Windsor ? whereas Britannia dutifully ferried their Royal Highnesses around the shrinking Empire, and subsequently the Commonwealth, for as long as she's been on the throne.

...fact, though, Parish, 36, is on the side of the angels--or at least of the late Princess Diana and the Nobel Peace Prize committee. Omnitech's gadgetry aids in detecting and detonating buried land mines. If that is in one sense an exceptionally narrow market, in another it is a phenomenally broad one. About 110 million mines are thought to be scattered around 70 countries, from Angola to Cambodia. They kill or maim some 24,000 people a year. And only about 100,000 mines a year are being deactivated, vs. 2 million new ones planted...
...paradigm? Diana, Princess of Wales. Last week's jilted bride, Nicole Contos, followed the essential outlines of Diana's example. The script: 1)The man (Prince Charles, or Tasos Michael) is a rotten, unfeeling, abusive cad, and inflicts a humiliation upon a naive and innocently hopeful young woman. 2)Instead of a Havisham withdrawal, however, the young woman goes vividly public with her trauma and plays the story out in the media, turning her shame not only into triumph but into revenge. Thus Nicole paraded her drama all over national television last week. Broken dreams make you a star...
