...fantasies. John Galliano gave the house of Dior a rocking 60th anniversary salute with an over-the-top high drama collection that included 45 supermodels, each decked out as a vision of an artist who had somehow touched Christian Dior's life and spirit. Linda Evangelista in an evocative deep wine taffeta dress a la Caravaggio. Naomi Campbell inspired by Alma-Tadema. There was a pink confection that looked right out of a Fragonard, Amber Valetta in pale blue, a portrait of Renoir. Each dress more elaborate and evocative than the first. Galliano called it a Bal des Artistes...
...apparently unconcerned that Terpstra is not a Muslim. "They don't care about her religion," he says. "They are just happy that I have a chance to escape from here."

Now boats torn from their moorings are tumbling through dam spillways and local television reporters are standing in lakeside parks knee deep in water pointing out the picnic tables floating by. The 20 inch rain deficit in the hills to the west of Austin was wiped out in one night as weather radar showed a large purple blob stuck over Marble Falls, Texas...
...arid grip-and-grin tour, offering Salaam aleikum, habibi! greetings to the few Iraqis willing to brave the midday heat. Now Petraeus moved from classroom to classroom, cloaked in heavy body armor, sweat trickling down the side of his face. Each room was packed with nonsmiling Iraqi men in deep squat - 500 in all. Petraeus was exhilarated. They were different from the usual police recruits. These had been selected by local sheiks...
