...What Green, who was knighted in 2006 for his contributions to the retail business, is hoping will set the fast-fashion chain apart from the competition will be the daily updated merchandise, the high-fashion quotient and the customer service, which includes free personal shoppers. Customers can call ahead for an appointment with a "style adviser" in the store or have a selection of up-to-the-minute merchandise brought to their home for free. Not too shabby, but the question remains: Will London street style play on Broadway...
Cardinal Egan, who served for nine years, was considered something of a flop on the New York stage, criticized for both heavy-handed management and a noticeably low quotient of charisma. Potentially the most influential religious figure in New York when 9/11 struck, Egan left no real mark during those trying days in the aftermath of the attack, instead spending several weeks in Rome for an unrelated meeting with members of the Catholic hierarchy. In Egan's defense, he had huge shoes to fill, following the larger-than-life figure of Cardinal John O'Connor, who had developed a close...
Walt Disney started out with a mouse, 80 years ago this week, but his company has done all right by dogs too. If Lady and the Tramp and 101 Dalmatians can't be numbered among the animation studio's most ambitious projects, they both had a high satisfaction quotient.

From the live-action pup opera Old Yeller in the '50s, to the mixed-media friskiness of this fall's Beverly Hills Chihuahua, Disney...
...recapture national power, while Aubry rejects that in favor of an opposite lean to hook up with Green, Communist and other leftist parties. The more explosive rub involves style. Aubry is staid and wonky, and she prefers more orthodox-sounding leftist pronouncements. Royal has a high-profile-celebrity quotient and a highly personalized communication style focused on modernity and change, frequently featuring frontal attacks on Sarkozy...
...raucous, titillating and over the top as you might imagine - but it was hard to feel sexy while covered in greasepaint, and then in hives from the reaction to the greasepaint. (Note to self: next year, spring for naughty nurse outfit). The following night, however, upped our heat quotient significantly. We went to an old-timey club called One-Eyed Jacks (615 Toulouse Street; 504-569-8361) and saw a brilliant, theatrical band called Rock City Morgue and watched the beautiful burlesque girls of the local vaudeville troupe Fleur de Tease contort and comport themselves for our viewing pleasure...
