...London's great cathedrals, Britons marked the first anniversary of Princess Diana's death Monday. Her somber young sons and the royal family prayed together, away from public eyes. Wearing black ties as a symbol of their mourning, Prince William, 16, and Prince Harry, 13, entered the tiny stone church near Balmoral Castle in Scotland flanked by their father, Prince Charles, Queen Elizabeth II and other royal relatives. William, the lanky physical embodiment of his mother, hung his head and was mostly shielded from the cameras. Harry showed no expression...
...education, but from love laced with vulgarity. Accused of being crude by Falconer's business manager, Gantry responds: "You're too good for the people. I am the people."

When he came to pay the money back, Anderson refused to return the coins and gave them to Wenner, the owner of Rolling Stone and several other glossy magazines and, need we add, a very wealthy man. Corliss is suing the rock mogul (and Anderson) to get back the coins, which could be worth between $22,000 (in weight) and $10 million (if bought by collectors.) This is the first case of its kind...
...flower in bloom." He wrote a satchelful of sparkling, finely detailed songs about life in the Keys and toured constantly, attracting a following and then a new record deal. Promoting himself, he liked to imply that he had smuggled marijuana to make ends meet. When stardom hit, Rolling Stone repeated the old tales in a 1979 cover story, and Buffett was detained by the authorities in St. Barts, where he was then living. "Me and my big mouth," he says. "I had never been a dope dealer; I was just hangin' in the bars, tryin' to be cool...
