...saga remains a tale of two cities. In London last week Princess Diana was the renewed subject of tabloid headlines as the latest edition of a biography went on sale--an autobiography, it turns out, offering candid and often biting descriptions of her life with the royals, as divulged by her collaborator Andrew Morton. The Windsors and the Spencers were appalled, as were the British media. But however scandalized the public may have been over Morton's breach of Diana's confidence, the book flew out of London stores. In Paris there was no room for soap opera or sentiment...
...birthday party. "There was a lot of smoke," he told TIME and CNN in a joint interview. "People were speaking loudly. There was a kind of panic, like one usually finds at accident scenes." Dressed in a white T shirt and white jeans that were soon spattered with the princess' blood, Mailliez put an oxygen mask over her face while a former volunteer fireman supported Rees-Jones' bloody head in his hands.

DIANA'S INJURIES. Horrific internal injuries may have doomed the princess from the moment of impact. But the amount of time that elapsed between the accident and her arrival at the hospital--more than 1 1/2 hours--could have been a factor in sealing her fate.

She was moaning very loudly, saying, 'Aye! Aye! Aye!' Her cries reverberated through the tunnel." The princess tried to speak and was once heard to murmur, "My God." But no direct witness reports her saying anything coherent. The first two policemen on the scene found her semiconscious. One of them tried to keep her awake by "talking to her and tapping on her cheek...
...Dianafied version of Candle in the Wind is creating a windfall for ELTON JOHN. The singer pledged all proceeds from his new Candle single--which has shipped 4 million copies in the U.S. so far--to a charity named for the princess, but his older catalog is skyrocketing as well. In the week before DIANA's death, John's Love Songs sold 4,600 copies in the U.S.; the week after the funeral, it reached 17,000 and re-entered the Billboard Top-100 charts. During the same time, a Greatest Hits collection went from sales...
