...flippant familiarity you use in talking about Their Royal Highnesses is insulting. An added injury is the inclusion of every possible unproven, gossipmongering rumor. Anyone who has had experience in serving the public interest and knows the sacrifice it entails must share my admiration for the royal couple's grace and dedication. They should be allowed to carry out their duties in an atmosphere of serenity and respect. Jacqueline Conte Castellaro, Italy...
...Roman poet Vergil in The Aeneid called rumor "a huge and terrible monster," and Wall Streeters last week would have agreed. The intense speculation about Pennzoil was part of the high-stakes legal battle the company has been waging with Texaco.

She spoke with TIME's ANDREA SACHS about an array of topics, from women in TV news to her battle with cancer...
...world will not turn its back on the type of investigative and analytical reporting that informs millions of readers every day. If kept, the standards of the nation’s best papers are our last chance to stop the march of cable television, blogs, and other media rumor mills. When the dust from the hype over nontraditional media settles, I am confident that daily newspapers, with more customized, more investigative, and more accurate, stories, will still be standing...
