With respect to the death of Princess Di, it is of course a tragedy.
There is a point to be made here, however, that overrides the tragic aspects.

My view, as expressed to a group hanging around the concierge' desk this morning, was precisely that of George Will a couple of hours later on the Brinkley show. Will is by most measures the best journalist in America. In any given circumstance he -- better than anyone -- gets to the bottom line.

Very simply, the first question Will and I asked this morning was, "What were these people doing driving through the streets of Paris at midnight at 100 miles an hour?"

If people destroy themselves under such circumstances, so be it. They get very little if any sympathy from me. Better they got killed than innocent bystanders. I don't care how many paparazzi were following them, you don't let your driver go 100 mph under any circumstances, and certainly not in the heart of Paris.

So there you have it, gang. That gives you an insight into the mental processes of John Westergaard as they relate to the death of Princess Di. No different than the way I interpret the dishonarable actions of Pluvia.

It may not be pretty but it is honest.
