Most ambitious is building a successor ship to Cousteau's beloved Calypso, which sank in Singapore in 1996. Calypso II will be 217 ft. long, powered by an innovative turbosail-diesel engine combination.

Eric Pooley only scratched the surface in writing of Jimmy Buffett's appeal to his Parrothead fans the world over [SHOW BUSINESS, Aug. 17]. Buffett is a folk, country, rock-'n'-roll, calypso, Latin, honky-tonk, Big Band, reggae, bebop, Tin Pan Alley, zouk, polka singer.

...label specializing in girlish party dresses that began with a collection of 11 pieces in 1994, has evolved into a multimillion-dollar business. Jewelry is having a renaissance. "We're just all so tired of looking plain," notes Andrea Linett, a fashion writer at Harper's Bazaar and a Calypso regular. "The new version of a white T shirt and khakis is a camisole and sexy, fitted trousers. Femininity now signifies the urban look...
