...selected Dick Cheney to be his running mate and hinted that Colin Powell had a spot reserved in the cabinet-to-be. Schwarzenegger did much the same thing during his campaign, appointing former Gov. Pete Wilson, a moderate Republican who handled California?s last fiscal crisis in the early 90s, to be his campaign chairman. He also hired several of Wilson?s former staffers to run his operation. Now that he?s won the job, it seems likely that he?ll bring many former Wilsonians to Sacramento with him - a smart move, because they already have relationships with legislators...
...album of jazz standards, But Beautiful. Scaggs started out as a member of the Steve Miller Band, but embarked on a solo career in the early 1970s.

In the late '90s many young designers--Jeremy Scott springs to mind--tried to make their mark with over-the-top, fashion-forward creations. But today rising stars like Bryan Bradley of Tuleh, Derek Lam and Zac Posen focus on creating clothes that please private clients, celebrities and stores...
...SUNDAY AT THE POOL IN KIGALI By Gil Courtemanche Love amid war is an ancient literary conceit, but Courtemanche gives it a twist. The journalist-turned-novelist, who reported on the Rwandan genocide during the '90s, sets his unlikely but touching tale against that bloody backdrop. "Passion feeds on abandon," he writes. So it is for his protagonists, who kindle an affair as the country, riven by AIDS and ethnic slaughter but neglected by the rest of the world, descends into chaos...
