* Out and About: Princess Caroline of Monaco is back, making her first official public appearance since the death of her husband, Stefano Casiraghi, in an October boating accident.

She wore a new short haircut and round eyeglasses as she awarded Tobias Karolicki of Costa Rica the competition’s Princess Grace of Monaco prize.

* Big Man, Little Town: Back home in Tampa, Fla., Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, 56, said he looks forward to retirement, doesn’t consider himself a celebrity and has no great political aspirations. Schwarzkopf retires from the Army in August. “I’m still the same person. Yes, (the war) changed my life, but I hope it has not changed me,” he told People magazine. “The type of politics I have in mind is being mayor of a small town.”

* Video Views: Activist Dick Gregory, author Leo Buscaglia and Edward Teller, the father of the hydrogen bomb, offered their wisdom to the ages in Denver. The three spoke Saturday at a theater as part of a local public television broadcast. Gregory won a standing ovation: “I just want to apologize to everybody in the history of the planet who was ever mistreated.” Buscaglia said death “is only morbid if you never lived.” But Teller didn’t offer much hope: “Man and woman are problem-creating animals.”

* Book Him: President Bush is a Yale graduate but chose Texas A&M; University in College Station as the site for his presidential library. It will be built on a wooded, 90-acre site, though no plans have been drawn up and no cost estimates set. The library, which also will be home to the George Bush School of Government and Public Service, will be less than 200 miles from another President’s historical collection: the Lyndon B. Johnson Library is in Austin.
