...life into the revered British brand. Giannini's show, if not a full-scale palace revolution, proved at the very least seditious. There was no sign of the sexed-up Gucci girl that Tom Ford, the brand's imagemaker until two years ago, so famously unveiled in the mid-'90s. His successor has replaced the strutting vamp with an ingénue who saunters diffidently down the runway in a shrunken black pantsuit or a flirty 1940s floral print dress. Yet the ingénue carries one accessory still redolent of the Ford era: the handbags. There were top-handled...
...under the masters and learn their trade," says Gentry Lee, J.P.L.'s chief engineer for solar-systems exploration. "The depth in the process of building the next generation to go where no one has gone before was a little bit broken." The money spigots opened up again in the '90s, but by then there were gaps in the lab's history chain...

In the 1960s, gay men recalled first desiring other males at an average age of 14; it was 17 for lesbians. By the '90s, the average had dropped to 10 for gays and 12 for lesbians, according to more than a dozen studies reviewed by the author of The New Gay Teenager, Ritch Savin-Williams, who chairs Cornell's human-development department...
...young gays actually want to change: six surveys in The New Gay Teenager found that an average of just 13% of young people with same-sex attractions would prefer to be straight. Nonetheless, gay kids trying to change can find unprecedented resources. As recently as the late '90s, Exodus International, the premier organization for Christians battling same-sex attractions, had no youth program. Today, according to president Alan Chambers, the group spends a quarter of its $1 million budget on Exodus Youth; about 80 of Exodus' 125 North American ministries offer help to adolescents. More than 1,000 youths have...
