Wrong number: It seems a bit daft, but the Gloucestershire, England, phone book lists Queen Elizabeth’s daughter, Princess Anne, under H as “HRH Princess Anne, Mrs. Mark Phillips.” In fact, it is wrong.

Ralph Abernathy even though Abernathy’s autobiography, “And the Walls Came Tumbling Down,” discussed Martin Luther King Jr.’s alleged extramarital sex life and, according to his son, treated King unfairly. “I have always been taught to love people and I still love you,” King said he told Abernathy recently in Montgomery, Ala.
