...Sir: The holders of masters degrees in business administration who start at a minimum of $12,500 [June 13] may be glad to work for half of that 20 years from now, if the experience of their elders is any criterion. The crime of American business is that it pays more for a 25-year-old than for a 45-year-old. In fact, not one blue-chip company will even hire anyone over...

Spotting an American reporter, he asked: "You mean to say you've come all the way from the U.S. just to climb Snowdon?" Reporter: "It was just for you, sir," adding that the investiture had something to do with it. Replied Charles helpfully: "Well, perhaps we could hold it up here...
