It describes the bizarre Fayed menage.

38、Crates of bottled water were taken to the family villa in St Tropez the equivalent of coals to Newcastle. Fayeds private Gulfstream jet transported five sacks of sand to Finland to make a beach for the Fayed children, only to be swept away.Although adamant that he is not cashing in on Dianas death,

39、Rees-Jones is submitting to a media hoopla because he is hard up.

40、him no peace of mind. In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, he confesses he is plagued by the thought that Diana, Dodi and driver Henri Paul died on my shift and that he would gladly have sacrificed his own life to save theirs. “If I could have died and those three survived, I could have done it

41、,“ he says.Rees-Jones was one of 40 security men 16-stone nannies hired to guard the Fayed family and pander to their whims. A former squaddie with the Parachute Regiment in Northern Ireland, he was a useful rugby player whose tough looks and soft in frame belied a mild and stoical nature.82 Which s

Their creation depends on an unusual combination of factors that nature almost never brings together in one place. The

48、cave making recipe calls for a steady emission of volcanic gas and heat, a heavy annual snowfall at an elevation high enough to keep it from melting during the summer, and a bowl shaped crater to hold the snow.Snow accumulating yearly in Rainiers summit craters is compacted and compressed into a den

49、se form of ice called firm, a substance midway between ordinary ice and the denser crystalline ice that makes up glaciers. Heat rising from numerous openings (called fumaroles) along the inner crater walls melts out chambers between the rocky walls and the overlying ice pack. Circulating currents of warm air then melt additional openings in the firm ice, eventually connecting the individual chambers and, in the larger of Rainiers the crat
