, appeared Wednesday - reportedly the first picture ever published of the boy, who died in childhood.

The Independent newspaper said its picture of John, a smiling, serene-looking child in a sailor suit, was among two albums of photographs belonging to the Duke of Windsor, John's eldest brother.

The Duke of Windsor reigned for less than a year as Edward VIII Edward VIII, 1894–1972, king of Great Britain and Ireland (1936), known in later years as the duke of Windsor; eldest son of George V. He attended the naval colleges at Osborne and Dartmouth and Magdalen College, Oxford. In 1911 he was made prince of Wales.  before abdicating in 1936 to marry a twice-divorced American, Wallis Simpson.

The Independent said the photographs, some depicting the duke's courtship of Simpson, were given by the Windsors to an unidentified French family in Paris, where the couple both died in exile.

John, who was born in 1905 and died in 1919, lived mostly in a home with his nanny at Sandringham, the royal estate in eastern England.

At that time, epilepsy was considered untreatable Un`treat´a`ble

 picture? Try moving to Wisconsin, where state officials were sympathetic to complaints that cameras were making residents look bad.

The new digital cameras Wisconsin has used since last fall drew so many complaints so quickly that officials asked the vendor to replace the lenses on all 60 cameras statewide.

Workers noticed the problem, too. ``People were saying, `Wow! This guy looks too far back,' '' said Dennis Nussbaum, district manager with the driver's license division of the state Department of Transportation.

The depth of the lenses made the pictures about 15 percent smaller, said Roy Nilson, communications manager for the Littleton, Mass., firm that supplied the cameras.

Officials tried moving people closer to the camera, but to no avail. So new lenses were installed in Milwaukee last week, with the rest of cameras to be fixed this week.

Trump, town hope to avoid courtroom

The battle between Donald Trump and Palm Beach, Fla., leaders over restrictions on his private club is being pulled out of court.

``We agree it's much better to solve certain issues outside the courtroom than inside,'' Trump said.

The developer and the town have been in court since December 1996, after the local council turned down Trump's request to lift membership, traffic and parking limits on the club at his Mar-a-Lago estate.

Trump said he again will ask the council to ease the restrictions he agreed to in 1993 when he opened the club.

``I've always found that conversations with the town go better when we haven't got a $100 million lawsuit hanging over our head,'' said council President Lesly Smith.

Under the truce, both sides will pay their own attorneys' fees, and Trump has the right to refile his lawsuit later.
