The arrival of Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, Charles Spencer’s memoir of his late sibling, has engulfed British tabloids and the global celebrity press. Last week, its barbed descriptions of King Charles’ alleged behavior at the time of his ex-wife’s death in 1997 elicited what — for Buckingham Palace — was a swift and emotional response, declaring that “the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and color memory in ways others do not recognize.” That only seemed to feed the me

The crowd of 80,000 mostly young Roman Catholics cheered an all-star team of the blessed (played by actors), including Joan of Arc — the patron saint of France — on horseback and King Louis IX, holding up a replica of Jesus’ crown of th

As horrific as the images of looting and arson in Paris over the weekend were, I was most unnerved by the video footage from Reuters of a man and woman calmly having evening drinks at an outdoor table of a cafe not far from the Arc de Triomphe. A fire burns in the near distance, dramatically reflected in the window of the establishment, where a server in white attends to at least one customer inside.
