...their romance and, frustrated, Diana broke up with him. She started dating Dodi in part, said Burrell, to make Khan jealous. Their courtship "took place on the world stage," he said.

...Gnosall has been battered by tragedy, and, in recent weeks, wounded by the lurid press attention that so often attends it. One British tabloid dubbed it the "village of the doomed"; other accounts darkly suggested the community may be cursed. The reason: six village residents have committed suicide during the past 12 months, a staggering figure in a nation that averages fewer than nine suicides per 100,000 people. Dr. Hynek Pikhart, a professor of statistics and epidemiology at University College, London, estimates the chance of a community Gnosall's size enduring six suicides in a single year...
