...They want to be beautiful." But the question any couturier must answer is, What kind of beautiful do they want to be? For Valentino, as he and the fashion house he created are called, it's the very traditional kind: the long lines and soft fabrics of Hollywood Golden Age couture. From 1964, when he captured Jacqueline Kennedy's attention and began clothing her in a monarch widow's blacks and whites, the little man with the slim, feline smile has outfitted a host of high-end one-name celebrities - Liz, Diana, Julia - and the Euro-royalty whose tastes influenced...
...when her mother was still a promising young actress. At the time, Natasha's father, film director Tony Richardson, was the more famous parent; that year he directed the 18th-century caper-comedy Tom Jones, winning Oscars for the picture and himself. Natasha made her film debut at the age of 4 in Dad's revisionist take on The Charge of the Light Brigade. By then, Redgrave had become the brightest new light of stage (The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie) and screen (Morgan, Blowup, Camelot.) Having separated from Richardson, Redgrave took up with Franco Nero, her hunky co-star...

But a new study finds that an alarming portion of heart failure cases are occurring in a much younger group - under age 50 - and overwhelmingly among African Americans...
...first large-scale study to document the extent of the race gap in heart disease, researchers report that one in 100 black adults develop heart failure in their 30s and 40s - a rate 20 times higher than that of similarly aged white men and women. In fact, the heart failure rate among young black adults was more like that of white men and women in their 50s and 60s. "What these data point out is that it's important to recognize that disease patterns differ in different populations," says Dr. Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, one of the study's authors...
...efforts to use the occasion to promote tourism in Sankt Poelten may be emblematic of Austria's inclination to evade the uncomfortable questions raised by the Fritzl case. It came to light just two years after Austrians learned of a surprisingly similar case: that of Natascha Kampusch, kidnapped at age 10 by another engineer and kept in a purpose-built cellar prison for eight years before she escaped in 2006. The form of incarceration wasn't the only thing the two cases had in common: not a single social worker, police officer or government official has taken any responsibility...
