...Originally created for a skit during the 1996 VH1/Vogue Fashion Awards, the character of male supermodel extraordinaire Derek Zoolander is the brainchild of actor Ben Stiller, who also co-wrote and directed the film. The plot revolves around the premise that male models have been behind every major political assassination in the past 200 years. Ludicrous as it sounds, the premise is actually one of the better aspects of the film. It’s something that sounds great in the abstract, but ends up being little more than a Manchurian Candidate...

Today Jacobs' brainchild, FLW Tour (named after bass-boat pioneer Forrest L. Wood), has moved tournament bass fishing from the swampy border of sports to deep in the mainstream.

...political debate is, in an important way, beside the point, for the myth transcends ideology. This is seen most plainly in the Met's Jackie Kennedy show, the purest display of Kennedy mythology in years. "The White House Years" is a joint brainchild of Caroline Kennedy and the late curator Richard Martin. They strove mightily to give the show an academic and historical gloss. But, really, it is a show about great clothes. And about artifacts, sacred objects assembled to evoke an irretrievable past. Outsize pictures of Jackie and her husband hang from the walls as backdrop for the actual...
