...Olympic merits speak for themselves. The failure of that approach in the face of full-court lobbying by the British left him bitter. "What made us lose was fair play," Delanoe said from Singapore. In Paris, Pascal Bildstein, vice president of the French Triathlon Federation, was more explicit: "When Princess Anne promises all the IOC members an audience with the Queen, it's just not ethical.

Hiding one ball under stacks of tackling dummies (the princess and the pea), Berry would loose two players at a time to roll around in the mattresses until one of them came up with it. If this seems a hilarious way to practice for a football game, consider the fact that the Patriots have recovered opponents' fumbles a bountiful 33 times this season, nine...

DIED. Stephen Barry, 38, personal valet to Prince Charles until 1982, when he left his post of twelve years amid reports that he had been forced out by the Princess; of pneumonia, complicated by the AIDS virus; in London. Two volumes of his memoirs, Royal Service and Royal Secrets, unpublished in Britain in deference to the palace, appeared in the U.S., where they sold briskly despite their tame content...
