...world of high fashion has been hit hard by recession and changing lifestyles, and nowhere harder than at Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, the glossy magazines that glorify it. Advertising pages this year are down alarmingly from 1970 in both-24% at Vogue, 26.5% at Bazaar. Clothes no longer necessarily make the woman, and the era of grande dame editors as arbiters of fashion has ended. It closed last week with the resignation of Nancy White as editor in chief of Harper's Bazaar after 14 years of trying to shape tastes for the with...
...wife of former FORTUNE Publisher Ralph D. Paine Jr., Nancy White, 55, leaves Bazaar six months after her longtime rival Diana Vreeland, 71, stepped down as editor of Vogue. More significantly, her resignation came less than four months after James Brady, 43, former publisher of the gossipy, irreverent Women's Wear Daily, moved in as Bazaar's publisher and editorial director.

He has recently finished filming a satiric movie-titled Richard...
...cities lie in ruins from shelling and aerial attacks. In Khalishpur, the northern suburb of Khulna, naked children and haggard women scavenge the rubble where their homes and shops once stood. Stretches of Chittagong's Hizari Lane and Maulana Sowkat Ali Road have been wiped out. The central bazaar in Jessore is reduced to twisted masses of corrugated tin and shattered walls. Kushtia, a city of 40,000, now looks, as a World Bank team reported, "like the morning after a nuclear attack." In Dacca, where soldiers set sections of the Old City ablaze with flamethrowers and then machine-gunned...
