...between 7% and 10%. With the help of a recently passed state law that protects service marks, the chamber hopes to raise $300,000 within the next 18 months. Predictably, the move has drawn few hoorays from local businessmen. Says Jim Arthur, president of California Lifestyles, a maker of souvenir sportswear: "The notion is absurd.

Still, the audiences of royal freaks and Dihard fans who formed at their every stop will remember best the bright moments: Diana clutching at one of her flying-saucer...
...brook burbles through a thicket that hides 10 detached villas, and the resort is ringed by a Ming-era stretch of the Great Wall. A private path means guests can escape the crowds that often mar enjoyment of the wall's other sections. There are no chairlifts or souvenir stalls here, just heated suites made from local stone and beams salvaged from some of Beijing's demolished courtyard homes. Rooms are decorated with Manchurian, Mongolian and Tibetan antiques, and each has a private porch. The Tiger Bar provides the perfect setting for cigars and cognac, while the restaurant offers cuisine...
