...Burrell Note" - in which she said she was convinced Prince Charles was planning for her to have an accident in her car, "brake failure and serious head injury." Earlier, Burrell had said he'd found the note propped up on his desk, left there by Diana. But in A Royal Duty, he gives a detailed account of sitting in a room with her and discussing the note while she wrote it. "We really do need to know whether we can rely on anything you say," Mansfield said. "I still believe that it was on my desk when I came into...
...Take the French Socialists, for example. Though their former presidential candidate Ségolène Royal had previously contrasted the general feeling scorn towards Blair among France's leftists with comments that she found several of his social and economic policies appealing, she admitted finding it "strange" how the former Labour leader was snuggling up with rightists in her back yard.

Then she goes on to say, "I wanted to write on paper how enormously touched I am that you share this excitement with me as well. What...
...rooted her message of experience not in her work in the Senate, or her legal career, or her passion for progress on a few core issues, but on the royal "we" of the Clinton presidency. She was a part of everything, she insists, from health care to foreign policy. To drive the point home, her campaign sent former President Clinton out virtually full-time on the campaign trail across Iowa and New Hampshire. The signature photograph from the Clinton campaign on the day the Iowa caucuses fired the starting gun of the 2008 campaign was not Senator Clinton engaging with...
