...glowing actor afterward. "We did well together." Of her much discussed clothes, Couturier Geoffrey Beene observed in the New York Times: "Some of the design is not on target to me as a professional, but who cares? Her presence overcomes any banalities of dress." The London Express's royal watcher Jean Rook concluded, "She has given America what it craved, glamour, glitz . . . Dianasty." There were some fluffed lines, to be sure. At the White House banquet, President Reagan introduced her first as "Princess David," then "Princess Diane." For his part, Charles spoke briefly and sat down, forgetting for a second...
...course, possible that Coke can turn its near disaster into a marketing coup. The company now has two Cokes to compete with Pepsi-Cola, as an industry watcher pointed out--one that tastes like Coke and one that tastes like Pepsi. And since the soft-drink maker will still be selling new Coke, none of the millions of dollars spent to launch that product has been wasted.

DIED. ERNST MAYR, 100, leading evolutionary biologist of the 20th century; in Bedford, Mass.

A 25-year G.O.P. court watcher noted last week that Bush may get as many as three chances to elevate a conservative to the Supreme Court, and predicted that Bush would nominate Gonzales after he has "gotten this Abu Ghraib stuff out of the way." The Justice Department, in this view, would act like the rinse cycle of a dishwasher...
...different stroll through the city and countryside. The first chapter sets the formula for ones following. The man pops out to take a break from moving into a new house. Amidst tableaus of sunning housecats, tall trees and fish swimming under bridges the man happens upon a bird watcher. They look at birds together. By the time the man returns home a dog has appeared from under the house. Rather than build drama from outsized events, Taniguchi instead dramatizes the small moments of our lives...
