...Judge Herve Stephan has placed all seven of the photographers arrested at the scene of Princess Diana's car crash under investigation for possible charges of involuntary homicide and failing to come to the aid of accident victims.

But mugs and tumblers were tucked into every cabinet, along with a blender and even a funnel. In the basement, snap-shots were tacked on the walls featuring hordes of white-hatted students--presumably the boys--tossing back pitchers with their chums. The stereo system had suffered severe beer-related injuries. In the neglected backyard, amidst scattered beer bottles and broken glass, was a full-sized counter-shaped bar, overturned and rotting...
