...Sixteen years before her death captured the world's attention, Diana's 1981 wedding to Prince Charles was a defining global event; we all watched as the shy young bride made her way down that aisle, trailed by what seemed like miles of white tulle. She looked utterly regal - and, in retrospect, utterly tragic. Who could resist such pageantry, such drama...
...Sixteen sailors died when the Monitor sank. Scientists found the human remains in the raised turret, along with a pocketknife, a leather boot and a coat button. They hope to find more artifacts when they clean out the tons of silt that remain in the turret...

The movie's style is as hyper as the coked-up kids, but City of God manages to hold dozens of horrifying stories in some kind of coherence with its unflinching powers of observation. Another cautionary teen tale, Sweet Sixteen, directed by Ken Loach and written by Paul Laverty (winner of Cannes' Scenario prize), is distinguished by its clear-eyed sympathy for a bright kid who thinks he can win his mum's love only by dealing drugs. The Scottish star, non-actor Martin Compston, 17, is marvelous - a screen natural...
