...were wrong. Among her previous subjects is Elizabeth's father, the estimable, dull George VI. From that project she probably got some good sources for the new book. Beating Kitty Kelley, who has been working on a book reportedly centered on the Duke of Edinburgh, she offers speculation on Philip's romances. Her account of the woeful marriage between Princess Margaret and Antony Armstrong-Jones has moments of perverse comedy. At one point the photographer took to leaving notes where he knew his wife would find them. One read, "You look like a Jewish manicurist...
...vanish tomorrow, however, antismoking advocates are convinced the deck is at last stacked in their favor. Through earlier litigation and the efforts of other whistle blowers, 30 years of internal documents have been exhumed that appear more damning than any single witness.

Some tobacco experts speculate that the tobacco industry may seek a deal in which...
MARTHA DUFFY recalls going to the Exeter Theatre in Boston in 1947 to see a film of Queen Elizabeth's wedding to Prince Philip. "I was enchanted," she says, "by the eerie slow pace and pomp of the ceremony." Since then Duffy, now a TIME senior writer, has avidly tracked the Windsors, editing three cover-length stories on Princess Diana and writing two more, including this week's report on the royal divorce. Her fascination is less for dynasty than for star quality: "Diana was always eloquent about herself, through body language. She has the concentration of a fine actress...
