...Sherawat summoned old-timers' memories of a festival 50 years ago, when the vision of the young Brigitte Bardot on the beach first sold the world on the notion of the Riviera resort as the home for unbuttoned movie glamour
...genial, and so open in her ambition to be the next big thing, that she surely will be. Striding down the Croisette, making the paparazzi pop their bulbs, Sherawat summoned old-timers' memories of a festival 50 years ago, when the vision of the young Brigitte Bardot on the beach first sold the the world on the notion of this Riviera resort as the home for unbuttoned movie glamour.

...fill his old job, prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, is harder to pin down. San Francisco Archbishop William J. Levada is, for one thing, the first American ever to reach such an influential position in the Roman Catholic hierarchy. A native of Long Beach, Calif., who headed the diocese in Portland, Ore., before moving to San Francisco in 1995, he is known for his diplomatic skills, which temper his conservative positions on most doctrinal issues. For example, though a vocal opponent of Mayor Gavin Newsom's flurry of gay weddings last year, Levada had earlier...
