...first he thought he recognized the man. An old mate from Rugby ...No, that would have been foolish. MI5 wouldn't have chanced it. Not like this anyway. Still, the man had the right look about him. The windowpane blazer. Nicely non-bureaucratic." Windowpane Blazer. $225. Too much Bond, I think--a little over the top. So is this, from the same catalog: "Fabiana whistled for the stable boy. He came. She whipped her crop against her boot. 'Saddle my horses.' (Tie-back chiffon blouse. $135.)" Then there is the turtleneck sweater from a "Bohemian aunt...says Dylan Thomas gave...
...nomination this year for Shakespeare puts her back in the Oscar game; and in April, she will appear on Broadway for the first time in 40 years, starring in David Hare's Amy's View, a 1997 London hit. She has even gone mainstream--playing M in the James Bond movies...

...when the senators throw up their hands over whether the president's testimony was a charge or a block and conclude, finally, "no harm, no foul," some of us will still believe that Clinton's deliberate lying, both under oath and to the people, has destroyed the essential bond between the president and the people. His behavior showed him to be weak and arrogant when voters had hoped for someone who would be strong and honest. An electorate that condones deceit deserves the contempt that such deceit implies.
