...best saloons in the state. Wichitans long ago processed the fact that a doctor with a mansion in the suburbs wore not just a gown to work but also a bulletproof vest. They kept it at arm's length, though. Some places, like some people, seem to relish any sort of attention. Not this place. No one even slowed while passing the TV trucks at the courthouse, and Mayor Carl Brewer looked queasy when I stopped him outside a city-council meeting. Not a word about Tiller, the mayor insisted.

Prince Charles' deadpan double act with the frog betrays the relish for thespian activities that enticed him to star in amateur dramatics as an undergraduate at Cambridge University. His sons William and Harry drafted a couple of mates - James Bond star Daniel Craig and soul diva Joss Stone - into the lineup, and also put in an appearance themselves.
