...time a woman's pregnancy was known as her confinement. But apparently this concept never reached Rio. It certainly never reached LUCIANA MORAD, whose pregnant glow was evident on far more than her face last week during Carnaval. The Brazilian model, perhaps better known as the woman rumored to be carrying another heir for Mick Jagger, made a spirited appearance on a float, shimmying and waving enthusiastically at fans. British papers have reported that Jagger, 55, has offered Morad, 29, a tidy sum to refuse interviews. But apparently he never said anything about semiclad public appearances. Hey, when you hail...
These days, as a musician, you know you've made it when you have had a song featured on a WB teen angst drama. Stretch Princess are one of the lucky few whose creations have underlined a pregnant moment on Dawson's Creek. "Lost on Me" is that tune, one barely distinguishable from the rest of the now mainstream alternative ditties which grace their self-titled debut album. Kurt Cobain is perpetually rolling over in his grave for the embarrassingly bland rip-offs of the genre he spawned...
...women, Cindy and Mary; two lives in turmoil because of adoption laws written in another era. Before the late '60s, states thought they were doing birth mothers a favor by confining their identities to dusty registrars' books. At the time, only "bad" girls got pregnant out of wedlock, and they were cloistered with fake names until they gave birth. Today, of course, that attitude seems quaintly outmoded. What's more, we have become sensitized to the rights of adoptees, who as they grow up want to know what everyone else already knows: who they are. "We are besieged by ghosts...
Predictably, the politics of adoption-law change gets very nasty very quickly. Conservative advocates of confidentiality warn that pregnant women faced with the prospect of having their records eventually opened will be more likely to choose abortion over adoption. While most adoption groups support some kind of compromise plan, the National Council for Adoption, a buttoned-up Washington coalition of agencies that arrange confidential adoptions, would require that extraordinary measures be taken by the state to find, counsel and get consent from birth parents before adoptees could even learn their names--to say nothing of meeting them. At the other...
...crudely, a lute looks some-thing like a small, pregnant guitar. It is has a body like a pear split in half made of between nine and 50 hardwood ribs. Its short, broad neck is fretted like a guitar but ends in a long and sharply angled pegbox. It is difficult to say exactly how many strings a lute has. The strings are divided into "courses," which are either a pair of strings played together or a single string, and different kinds of lutes from different periods had different numbers of courses. This is one of the most interesting things...
