The following justifications for a monarchy are hereby presented:

1.  Without Princess Diana, many British industries (wedding gowns,
    hairdressing, mug-china-silverware making) would go under.  Does
    anyone have a comparison of profits from the Lady Di industry vs.
    expenses for the maintenance of the British Royal Family?
2.  Without a monarchy, Monaco would lose some of its appeal and all
    of its newspaper space.  How often do you read about San Marino?
3.  Since President Reagan is head of state as well as head of
    government, he needs someone of equal rank to go horseback
    riding with him.  Why not Queen Elizabeth?
4.  Koo Stark needs the publicity.
