Michael Kors, however, in his second collection for the French house of Celine, managed to capture the real spirit of the age: an unabashed appreciation of money. This is not to suggest that Kors, who is responsible for the distractingly elegant ensembles worn by Rene Russo in The Thomas Crown Affair, is in any way a proponent of the garish. The Kors aesthetic is one of beguiling luxury, and his Celine line--with its dramatic but unfussy suits, plush cashmere turtleneck sweaters, buttery leather coats and simply cut beaded gowns--is meant for the woman more than pleased with...
With the Olympics coming to town, "some people are trying to downplay [the Straight Edge threat]," says James Yapias, a correctional and educational consultant. Others suggest that the group would get more attention if the bad guys were black or Hispanic. Nonsense, say police. Of the 200 gang-related felonies last year in Salt Lake County, only three were by Straight Edgers. They might be the oddest gang, but they're not the baddest. They don't even have guns...
There is strong evidence (A Night at the Roxbury and It's Pat, The Movie) to suggest that what is mildly amusing as a four-minute skit on Saturday Night Live is needlessly painful as a 90-minute movie.

As many relatives as possible should be enlisted in putting on the show, whether to cook or deliver a toast...
...legalization of abortion in the early '70s prevented a significant number of would-be criminals from coming of age in the 1990s, according to a controversial study, "Legalized Abortion and Crime," by University of Chicago economist Steven Levitt and Stanford University law professor John Donohue III. They suggest that the rise in abortions after the 1973 Supreme Court ruling in Roe v. Wade may explain as much as half the overall decrease in crime from 1991 to 1997. Says Donohue: "In 1981 a third of all pregnancies ended in abortion. That social phenomenon will have a large repercussion...
