<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>This weekend many toasts will be made to the grace
of Her Majesty, and to the skill and honor of her new Champion. I would
have joined in them if mundane constraints did not keep me at home this
weekend. I also would have desired to make the following toast in honor
of the other event we remember this weekend, but since I cannot, I share it
with you all here…</FONT></P>
