...handwoven handbags are actually made from recycled candy wrappers. On stage, a DJ spins a steady stream of feel-good tunes, the sounds of “Summer Nights” reverberating off the walls.It’s a far cry from the frenzied, bustling chaos of early autumn in New York City, whose Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, an eight-day whirlwind of runway shows and presentations, came screeching to a halt yesterday. Editors, buyers, socialites, starlets, and It girls converge upon the city biannually to kick off the sartorial festivities along with a sprawling flock of photographers, journalists...
Like the guys who sweep up the elephant dung after the circus has paraded through town, the first autumn releases tiptoed into movie theaters. Rather, one of them sauntered - Tyler Perry's I Can Do Bad All by Myself, which ignored the critics and most of the Caucasian movie audience to clean up with $24 million - while the rest staggered.

Under the cold pound of autumn rain, the Crimson defied the odds, eking out a 1-0 victory over the visiting No. 14 Terriers of Boston University.

She grew up in Flint, Mich., the granddaughter of a man who participated in the landmark 1936-37 sit-down strike at GM's Fisher body plant that established industrial-labor-organizing rights in America. But she saw her father and uncle go down with the automakers. "When they shut down the Fisher plant [in 1987], everything within a two-to-three-block radius closed down: bars, restaurants, gas stations...
...this a new class of rookie standouts, a record-setting point performance by co-captain Andre Akpan, and an impressive .207 successful shot percentage relative to its opponents’ .032 mark, and Harvard (2-0-0) seems to have found the recipe to success. However, as biting autumn winds drift through the leaves of Harvard Yard, the Crimson’s stay in the sun is about to be challenged. This coming weekend, both No. 14 Boston University and Army will step onto Ohiri Field in an attempt to stifle Harvard’s burgeoning momentum. The Crimson?...
