Indeed, McCartney's spring '98 collection, her Chloe debut, features garments that could hardly be described as age-insensitive. There are exquisitely cut wide-leg pantsuits (one of her trademarks) and delicately patterned knee-length day dresses alongside lavender, lace-trimmed slip dresses, spaghetti-strap tops and diaphanous minis. McCartney's clothes bespeak a mature knowledge of flirtation. "We've done the feminist thing and beaten men down, and now we want to lure them back," McCartney, a tall, cheerful redhead, explains.

For Wright his wife's death is likely to be a crime without true punishment...
...would bucket across to much larger celebrity a decade later. There were, however, important differences between the gangs. For one thing, the Newtons were far more successful, financially speaking, than their successors. More important, they did not come to a premature and legend-inspiring end. They all attained great age and modest respectability; one of them even turned up as a guest of Johnny Carson...
