...reportedly Prince Charles' heart. In a vain attempt to catch sight of the elusive lovers, a bevy of reporters and paparazzi besieged the rusticating royals at the private 20,000-acre estate 100 miles north of London, "hanging about the stables, photographing anything that moves," according to the Queen's press secretary. At one point, the reporters threatened to upset a Shetland pony carrying the Queen's three-year-old grandson Peter. These breaches of protocol produced some rare cracks in Her Majesty's regal facade. "I wish you would go away," she snapped at swarming...
...willing sus pension of disbelief. She turns two scenes into acting marvels. In one she mimics Humpty Dumpty about to fall off the wall but retaining full possession of a frog-horned comic baritone voice, and in the other she conducts the dialogue between Alice and the White Queen, taking both parts in a way that would have enchanted Oscar Wilde. Why isn't she performing Wilde, or Congreve or Shakespeare or Shaw, instead of gracing this cacophonous chicken coop of a musical...
...London Sunday Times Magazine marshaled 21 staff members-including one who caught the Concorde to New York to pick up photographs-to produce a 64-page special edition on the musician.

By now it is the hive of the queen bee, where Nevelson presides over a small force of workers: carpentry and joinery assistants who help with the sculpture, and her archivist, friend, photographer and general factotum Diana MacKown. Nevelson still leaves it often enough to be a near legendary sight in Manhattan's galleries and shops, and an enduring staple in the pages of Women's Wear Daily. She likes to swathe herself...
...Halaby, daughter of a former Pan Am president, Princeton grad, aspiring architect and freewheeling all-American girl. Then she became the fourth wife of Jordan's King Hussein, now 46, and nothing -not her name, nationality, religion or rank-is the same. Jordan's 29-year-old Queen Nur has mastered Arabic, become involved in her country's arts and environmental movement and, after a miscarriage, borne her husband a son, Prince Hamzah, now nine months old. Shortly after posing next to an oil portrait of Nur at Amman's Nadwa Palace for the photograph shown...
