...Americans living or traveling abroad, the dollar's week-long oscillations added yet more irritation to the once enjoyable experience of spending U.S. dollars overseas. At present exchange rates, a U.S. Army lieut. colonel stationed in Japan earns less than senior Japanese guards ($25,900) employed at the base near Tokyo.

Though he keeps an apartment in Paris and a farm in southern France, his base is a four-bedroom East Side Manhattan apartment that he shares with blonde Model Jeanette Christiansen. Another of Casablancas' stars is red-haired Yasmine Sokal, 23, a toplofty (5 ft. 11 in.) top model who was born in Munich but has French citizenship. Conveniently, Yasmine-who was the face...
