...British. They can begin writing letters a la Amnesty International to the British, demanding that they grant Irish prisoners normal legal freedoms accorded to prisoners of war. And they can insist that no American leaders ever bow and scrape again to Prince Charles or any other product of regal inbreeding. The ultimate solution to the crisis is a unification of Ireland under Irish rule, but in the meantime, there are plenty of ways to better the lives of Northern Ireland's Catholics, and they should be urged upon Westminster by Americans. Surely these efforts can be as effective...
...only a month before Giscard's explanation-and a full 15 months after the issue was first raised. Giscard's Olympian conception of his office reaches even into the protocol of the Elysée Palace.

Those titled folk in the pages of Debrett's Peerage are no strangers to the pages of TIME.

...compelling presence, rivetingly sad eyes, and moments of gaunt, tranquil beauty as Aladdin's mother, and Vincent Canzoneri is a wittily forthright Scholar Wu. As the Grand Wazir, David Prum reveals a precious comic style, a sublimely funny blend of ham and deadpan, and Jenny Cornuelle, a most impudently regal actress, is a flashing, mesmerizing Sultan. Maybe best of all is the Princess of Bonnie Zimmering, who has never seemed as exquisitely sculpted, as delicately, opalescently winsome; she has developed a sly and bewitching way of infusing her lines with a touch of impish satire. In the large supporting cast...
