...That’s the secret, really. Don’t write out “TIME!!!” in inch-high scrawl—it only brings out the sadist in us. Don’t (Cliffies) write offers to come over and read aloud to us your illegible remarks—we can (officially) read anything, and we may be married. Write on both sides of the page—single bluebook finals look like less work to grade, and win points. This chic, shaded calligraphic script so many are affecting lately is handsome, and is probably...

...Princess Diana and Dodi Al Fayed adjourned with her former butler Paul Burrell reluctantly agreeing to bring in a letter she had written to him just before she died. The letter, which is partly quoted in one of his books, referred to a special upcoming weekend and a "secret" the two of them shared - a secret that Burrell had refused on Monday to disclose, before the judge demanded the letter. Was Diana going to announce her pregnancy that weekend? Was her boyfriend Dodi Al-Fayed going to propose to her? Was she going to propose to him? On Tuesday, everyone...

...second, that she was also looking at a place in South Africa. Hardly earth-shattering. But all was not lost - Burrell had brought something back from Cheshire, a small pile of papers and photos he had used to write his two tell-all books. Along with the "secret" letter and a few other letters he had in Florida, these, Burrell said, were the last bits of physical proof of his time with the Princess. After the publication of his second book, he destroyed almost everything. "I burned quite a lot of material," he said. "I had already created what...

...written to the butler not long before she died. In it, she refers to "the coming weekend" being an important one. 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 a secret!" Mansfield wanted to know which weekend she meant and what was this secret? This time, Burrell refused to talk. But it looks like the letter will do the talking for him. Just before proceedings adjourned, Judge Baker insisted that Burrell take an overnight trip to his house in Cheshire - over...
