...monarchy, Prince Charles' TV confession was a fiasco. It's hard to fathom how the embattled heir to the throne could replay 1992, the year his mother called her annus horribilis, but he has managed it. The tattle about his relationship with the married -- and Roman Catholic -- Camilla Parker Bowles had died down, but the scandal is back on the front page.

The new freedoms in Eastern Europe, the easing of hostile pressures from the Soviet bloc and the European Community's economic integration in 1992 may bring life back to the source of Western energy. The E.C. itself comes from a realization that these old countries must cope with postimperial realities. If there is a new world order, this realism should be its basis...
