- <p>More Time for Camilla
- </p>
- <p> PRINCE CHARLES will soon have more difficulty doing what is
- already a bit difficult for any member of the royal family:
- filling up his day. The Prince, who has suffered of late from
- an ailing back, has decided to end his career in polo. He will,
- however, continue to appear in occasional charity matches. The
- announcement, coincidentally, came only a few days after Queen
- Elizabeth fell from her horse and broke her wrist.

- <p>Seen & Heard
- </p>
- <p> Jennifer Capriati, 17, one of the brightest young stars in professional
- tennis, has retired from the sport indefinitely. Her plans?
- To be a kid, live out of the limelight and forget all about
- her sport for a while. When Capriati moved out of her parents'
- home recently, she left all tennis memorabilia behind.

- <p> To many, painter David Salle is a rightfully fallen star, the
- incarnation of '80s art in all its overhyped, overcollected
- glitziness. But this hasn't inhibited his creative impulses.
- Apparently he wants to direct movies, and now he is making a
- dark comedy called Search and Destroy, with Martin Scorsese
- as executive producer.

- <p> The Quayle Quarterly is long gone and the I Hate Brenda hoopla
- is behind us, but the cult of focused loathing endures. Die
- Evan Dando, Die is the latest publication devoted exclusively
- to reviling a famous individual. The newsletter exists to offset
- the reams of gushy publicity bestowed upon Evan Dando, the lead
- singer of the Lemonheads and a media-anointed alterna-hunk.

- <p>And for Fall--Deuteronomy
- </p>
- <p> Showing his spring line in Paris, Karl Lagerfeld suddenly found
- himself the Salman Rushdie of haute couture. The collection
- included three evening dresses (one in a racy bustier style,
- modeled by CLAUDIA SCHIFFER) that were each embroidered with
- verses from the Koran. This use of scripture outraged Muslims,
- who called for a boycott of the designer's products. Lagerfeld
- said he'd had no idea the writings were holy. Chanel, for whom
- Lagerfeld designs, immediately removed the dresses from the
- collection.

- <p>She Speaks Oars
- </p>
- <p> If MERYL STREEP has a new movie coming out, you figure her role
- must require her to learn an exotic accent of some sort--Basque,
- maybe. But in her upcoming adventure film, The River Wild, Streep
- was faced with an altogether different challenge: she had to
- master the sport of white-water rafting in four days. According
- to Arlene Burns, her trainer, the intense actress managed quite
- well. "Meryl was very articulate with her oars. By the end she
- didn't even hit any rocks."
