...only is the Queen in excellent health, but she seems to enjoy her regal function and certainly performs it well. "After more than 30 years on the throne, she knows more about power and politics than most politicians," says a source close to Buckingham Palace. "And although the Queen is theoretically 'advised' by ministers, she can, behind the scenes, advise ministers." Some political soothsayers speculate that she may, in fact, have a key role to play in helping to pick a new Prime Minister if no party wins a majority in the next national election, probably...
...Sophie, Otto Edelmann as Baron Ochs. Herbert von Karajan conducting the Vienna Philharmonic. Video Arts International; $79.95; hi-fi mono. Pride of place belongs to this classic, filmed at the Salzburg Festival and released in 1962.

"The teenagers love singing Billy Joel and Bette Midler tunes," says Musician Irene Regal, who with Husband Mike takes a Starmaker brand karaoke along to gigs at New York bar mitzvahs and parties. Properly lubricated, adults like to giggle through a moonstruck verse or two of a ballad. "It's the only way to go," says Cathy Ruggieri, 40, a hair stylist in Stony Brook, N.Y., who uses her $600 model at home and at her salon. "It makes you sound so good. I wasn't that outgoing before...
...this ain't All Well's That Ends Well; after every ones' hearts are tied for eternity, the fickle finger of dramatic fate (offstage) pushes the King of France off the ledge of mortality. Since the royal good time girl must needs become a regal career women, it's Cupid who gets the shaft; as No. 1 Courtier Berowne (Gregory Welch) exclaims woefully, "our wooing doth not end like an old play, Jack hath not Jill...
