Nigerian breast-cancer survivor Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu says mothers in her country are reluctant to reveal that they have breast cancer, fearful that if they do, no one will want to marry their daughters. "Some women would rather go to church to pray for the lump to disappear," she says. Mukerjee, the breast-cancer survivor from Kolkata, tells the story of a patient whose very presence halted a family marital procession. "When the crowd saw her, they wouldn't go further," she says...

And Al Fayed is pointing to her father-in-law Prince Philip as the one who ordered her alleged assassination. But the one piece of evidence that could reveal Prince Philip's true feelings about Diana is missing: a set of letters that he wrote to her. Burrell, who Baker "hopes" will give evidence during the inquest, says he saw them. And Diana's sister, Lady Sarah McCorquodale, says she had conversations with Diana about them. But nobody knows...
