...a follow up comment. what i resent about Ms. Brown and the former princess is the kind of revisionist storytelling that Ms. Brown uses.
"She was so beautiful, so young..."
Princess Diana was a rather plain girl at 19. Plain in that very English way. The woman who had affairs and romanced the camera...who had a team of professionals tending to her hair. She was "lovely" or "beautiful," but in the end, so, what?
If she were poor and living in a ghetto, we would label "Princess Di" as an adultress...a whore.
Toward the end of her life, she "came out" against landmines and AIDS. Does all of that make her less of a slut?
What about this girl was so meteoric? Well, she sold her soul in order to become a "princess."
She "changed" "the Royals"?
I think not.
Leonard -
I really don't care about the former princess and I care even less about Tina Brown. BUT!, you've done it again...something about the tone and pace and substance of your questions grabbed me and I listened to the entire segment. Brilliantly done.
