France's law, toughened in 1995, is one of the strictest in Europe. Le Monde reported Monday that Paul was trying to skirt around a slower-moving vehicle when the car crashed inside a Seine riverside tunnel, beneath the approach to a bridge, the Pont de l'Alma. Paul, 41, a former French air force pilot, was the No. 2 security man at the Ritz Hotel, owned by Dodi Fayed's family, and the car was owned by the hotel.

Bernard Dartevelle, a Fayed family lawyer, said Paul had been off-duty and was called from home to take the place of the regular driver, who had left earlier in another vehicle as a decoy to throw photographers off the trail. Regardless of whether Paul was drunk, Dartevelle said, it was the photographers chasing the princess who were responsible for the accident. "That infraction," he said, "was the first link in a chain that ended at the Pont de l'Alma." Dartevelle has filed a civil complaint seeking damages against those ultimately found responsible for the death. In London, The Mirror on Tuesday quoted Gilbert Collard, a French lawyer representing Christian Martinez, one of the seven arrested paparazzi, as saying: "It seems there was a short discussion between the photographers, the driver and the bodyguard before the limousine left the Ritz. "It was along the lines: 'Don't bother following, you won't catch us anyway.

The Times of London cited what it called unconfirmed reports that Paul had taunted the photographers by saying "Catch me if you can," before speeding away from the hotel.

Police so far have not been able to talk to the lone survivor of the crash, bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones. He suffered a head contusion, a lung injury and facial injuries.

His condition was described as grave but not life-threatening, and he remained in intensive care Monday. A judicial source said Monday evening that the seven photographers now in custody would be detained for another night, and that on Tuesday, a judge would take charge of the case and place them under formal investigation. Even if they are cleared of any direct role in the crash, France's "Good Samaritan" law might apply. It makes it a crime to fail to help someone in danger. Le Monde reported Monday that, within 30 seconds of the crash, some photographers were taking pictures of the bleeding victims.

Citing at least a dozen unnamed witnesses, it said some photographers actually pushed away rescuers and two policemen who arrived on the scene, saying they were ruining their pictures.

Like the princess herself in life, the ceremony Saturday eludes categories, embraces contradictions, and leaves the monarchy and government grappling with an awkward situation. The funeral will be a state event but will not have all the pomp and ceremony of a full state funeral, a spokesman for Prime Minister Tony Blair said. It will reflect the princess's "modernity," the spokesman said.

Buckingham Palace said invitations to the Westminster Abbey funeral would go out to about 2,000 people. The usual bloc of ambassadors seen at state events is not expected, but some world leaders have expressed interest in attending, including French President Jacques Chirac. The White House said Monday that President Clinton would not attend, and that it had not been decided who would represent the United States. White House aides said there was discussion of first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton attending, but emphasized there had been no decision on her participation.

The procession through central London to Westminster Abbey and the funeral within those venerable walls will be events long remembered by generations of Britons and television viewers worldwide.

Much of British life will come to a standstill; even London's airports will suspend flights.

However, Germany's largest-circulation newspaper, Bild Zeitung, printed a front-page color photograph in its Monday edition showing rescuers trying to get into the wrecked Mercedes.

The photograph, taken from the back of the car, shows what appear to be one or two slumped bodies, but their features are not recognizable. An editor at the Bild photo desk said the newspaper bought the picture which carried no credit line "from an agency in Paris." The editor, who gave only his last name, Westing, declined to say whether the photo and others purchased by the newspaper came from paparazzi on motorcycles who were pursuing Diana's car when it crashed early Sunday. "We paid a lot of money for them," he said. Police were investigating whether the paparazzi contributed to the crash. French authorities also said Diana's driver was drunk.

Photographers were among the first on the scene, some snapping photos in the moments after the crash. Disgusted motorists who had stopped to help reportedly beat up one photographer. to allow people to express publicly their grief and their affection for the princess." But neither the royal family nor the Spencers wanted Diana's body to lie in state, allowing public mourners to file past to pay, their respects. Instead, thousands waited in line Monday to write messages in four books of condolence opened in a separate room at St. James's Palace, Charles' home.

In the palace's 16th-century Chapel Royal, the coffin rested before the altar where Queen Victoria married Prince Albert in 1840, and beneath a painted ceiling com north of London. While Diana's coffin rested in the privacy of the Chapel Royal at St. James's Palace on Monday, the royal family, the Spencer family and the government made the complex arrangements for Saturday's ceremonies. They agree that the funeral, set for 11 a.m. (5 a.m.

CDT), should not be just a gathering of the "great and the good," said Blair's spokesman, who spoke on customary condition of anonyfnity. She was "the people's princess," he said, and "there should be people there who represented the causes she touched and the people that she touched." The mother of a future king and a greatly admired figure around the world, Diana was divorced from Prince Charles a year ago and lost her status as Her Royal Highness. Although she remained Princess of Wales, she resented losing her HRH and some of her most ardent admirers were outraged. Now, as Buckingham Palace clearly knows, the world will watch the official farewell to Diana with an eye for any slights to her memory or echoes of the past rancor within the royal family. "The funeral will contain the usual elements of a royal funeral, and in particular elements to reflect the affection with which the princess was held," a palace spokeswoman said Monday, also speaking on condition of anonymity.

"We are taking into account the wishes of the family and the need the line that snaked down wide, leafy Pall Mall. Diana's coffin will rest before the altar in the palace's 16th-century Chapel Royal until Saturday, when a funeral will be held at Westminster Abbey. She will be buried near Althorp, her family home north of London. Claire Lewis said she came down from Waterford, 20 miles away, because it was important to make a personal statement so that "it's not just the government saying 'blah "Diana was the one in the royal family who was most on our level" said Lewis' friend, Ha-laena Hankin. The fact that Diana was so widely known gave the mourners a sense that their grief and patient waiting would resonate beyond Britain.

"She wasn't just British the whole world had a piece of her," Emery said. "I want to sign my name to something historic. We will never see something like this again."

LONDON (AP) The line stretched a quarter-mile, seemingly refusing to move. Yet thousands stood outside the palace where Princess Diana's body lay Monday, waiting patiently for the chance to write words of condolence.

The mourners who queued up outside St. James's Palace, the home of Prince Charles, said the wait of up to three hours was worth it not only to express their feelings, but to shore up the nation's pride and know they were not alone. For most people, writing brief messages on the black-bordered pages of the condolence books will be their only opportunity to be part of a mourning ritual; there will be no public viewing of Diana's body. So many came to pay their respects that, by early afternoon, officials announced they would keep the red-carpeted room where the condolence books lie open around the clock, rather than closing in the evening. "She just deserves the turnout," said Ann Emery of London, groping to explain why she was standing at the end of BONN, Germany (AP) Anger at the role paparazzi played in Princess Diana's death prompted some European nations to start looking Monday for ways to protect celebrities from relentless camera-clicking intruders.

In France, a government spokeswoman urged tougher penalties for journalists who violate privacy laws. A British media watchdog began talks with newspaper editors there, trying to end the market for sensationalist snapshots. And in Germany, a senior governing party official proposed toughening up the nation's privacy laws. In all three countries, critics immediately warned of the difficulty in crafting tough laws without endangering press freedom. Instead, many politicians and news media groups said journalists should be responsible for observing high ethical standards on their own.

"We don't need any stricter laws, but an obligation by media people to observe moral and ethical standards," said Rezzo Schlauch, a spokesman for Germany's opposition Greens. After Sunday's fatal car crash, the German Journalists Union as well as several tabloids in Europe and the United States urged newspapers not to buy photos of the dy YELTSIN From A1 some Yeltsin supporters reportedly had been looking for ways to allow him to seek a third, four-year term. However, there had been no indication that Yeltsin himself wanted to find a way around the constitutional limit. There is already a large group of potential presidential candidates for 2000, although none could be considered a front-runner now. In Yeltsin's administration, Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin may pursue the job, though he has never fared well in opinion polls.

First Deputy Prime Minister Boris Nemtsov is the country's most popular politician, according to several recent polls, though at 37 some think he is too young and inexperienced. Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov, defeated by Yeltsin in presidential runoff election in 1996, is likely to run again. But.
