We have this first parade photo of Cadet Wales at Sandhurst We hate to be the ones to say it but we were the first to suggest Harry should probably pack up his tucker and off to military school. Now it's done and just in the nick of time or we would once again have had nothing to write about.The only thing all week has been this sodding election and if there is anything Americans really can't

A shared language, a Southern heritageMany years ago as a student I had the good fortune to find myself in the house troupe of actors for the inaugural season of Minneapolis's Tyrone Guthrie Theater. Though I had doubtful prospects I was eager to participate knowing that I would be in such a robust and elite company of actors, not the least of whom were the Lady and Sir Guthrie himself.As

Once again, not being entirely sure what is going on with the Brits, Americans - and the rest of the world, for that matter, are asking the "fruitcake" question. No one likes fruitcake! We use it for door stops, we re-gift it, don't allow it in l-a-n-d-fills for god sake. So why fruitcake at Charles' and Camilla's nuptials Even Martha wouldn't recommend fruitcake for the wedding so... We remain

Prime minister Tony Blair opened a conference on climate change today on a familiar note, one that Blair has trumpeted before, Global Warming. The 3 day conference is the kick-off to this year's G-8 Summit July 6-8 in Gleneagles, Scotland. Undoubtedly Blair's convictions will be put to the test in the face of a disappointing response from the Bush administration, whose abysmal record on

Yeah, he's only a twenty something - and so were we all - but showing up at a friend's costume party dressed as a Nazi, well, we don't know. I recall donning my father's Canadian Airborne, 2nd lieutenant's uniform from WW11 and attending a few costume parties, even flying military standby once while in college in order to stretch my $34 into a round trip ticket good to see my folks at Christmas.

Truth is, it never was your dad's Jaguar it was probably your grandfather's Jaguar, that is if he was a well healed old duffer. Finding one of these mint condition old breeds - the car not the guy - can be the find of a life time. When I was a kid a friend of mine nicked his old man's vintage Jag and we went for a joy ride around the, then, pastoral regions of Maryland. Dave did the driving, it

OK, I'm green, American and a 'Boomer' but that's of no consequence. The salient information to know about The Which Blair Project is that it will be written by you, the readers. Americans, freshly bloodied by our recent round of domestic violence, The National Election, are once again driven to look outward and ask of the rest of the world...WHAT?
