...While admittedly a difficult field to enter, Harvard is beginning to make strides in the fashion industry. One such up-and-comer is Tracy A. Fong ’04. Fong opened her boutique, Trace, in Hong Kong two years ago, and already her company is seeing revenues in the six figures. Sarah E. Johnston ’03, formerly a jewelry designer at David Yurman, is now focused exclusively on her own jewelry line SISU, which has seen meager but successful sales for the past two years. And it doesn’t stop with alumni. Anotnio A. Pino...

Wong poses as a well-bred aristocratic wife, Ms. Mak, and employs her acting abilities...
...film is gliding along, well into its second hour of stately intrigue, as a young woman in Japanese-occupied China woos a Chinese collaborator, hoping to get close enough to kill him. Then the man (Hong Kong star Tony Leung Chiu-wai) takes the woman (newcomer Tang Wei) to bed, and Ang Lee's Lust, Caution becomes a different movie. In three startling sex scenes, the two actors mime first a brutal seduction, then a sadomasochistic pas de deux, then the flexing of the woman's wiles until she has achieved erotic control of her prey...
