White (British) Men Can't Jump?
Prince Charles dishes it high to Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, for a gym-stunning alley-oop Sunday at Promise Academy, a charter school run by the Harlem Children's Zone. The prince was in the city to check out successful urban revitalization efforts. NY Times story on the visit is here. Also over the weekend, Prince Charles scored a career-high 52 points to lead the hapless Knicks to a lopsided victory over the NBA-champion Miami Heat.UPDATE: Best quote in all of today's coverage can be found in the Post, courtesy of 7th grader Emmanuel Liggons: "He shook my hand and asked me, 'How's the game going?' I said we lost,' " Emmanuel recalled. "All the time he was shaking my hand I thought, 'Should I do a book report on him for my social-studies class?' "
