Alexander McQueen "It was like I was a stallion being held back by a two-ton truck," said Alexander McQueen of his five years at LVMH designing for Givenchy. McQueen sprinted out of the gates upon graduation from Central St. Martin's in 1992. By then, he'd already spent seven years as an apprentice on Savile Row - and he was still only 23 years old.

...move was "the latest gambit in an ongoing effort by Director Freeh to move this case from this office, which would not accede to his demands as to how the case should be prosecuted." Freeh and Lewis have long battled over how to proceed in the probe of the truck bombing at the military barracks that killed 19 U.S. airmen. Sources in Lewis' camp say some in the FBI have pushed to move too aggressively, given the wispiness of the evidence.
