...solicits advice from his daughter Dylan, a seventh-grader, who suggested that rather than resemble private-school uniforms, Lauren's girlswear should contain more bright stripes and colors. A visitor to Polo's office once found Lauren and his brother Jerry, 51, huddled over the latest L.L. Bean catalog, sketching items they liked...
...that reason, the immense catalog of data gathered by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) was an ideal place to start. Although the satellite operated for only ten months in 1983, it sent back information on more than a quarter-million cosmic sources of infrared radiation. One of them was in the constellation Ophiuchus, some 520 light-years away. "What the IRAS survey indicated," says Team Astronomer Bruce Wilking of the University of Missouri, "was that this source was 40 degrees above absolute zero (-233 degreesC), extremely cold by our standards but warm enough by interstellar | standards that...
...outside world, the Lebanese Shi'ites are chiefly known for the brutal acts that have made the extremists among them the Middle East's most feared and persistent terrorists. Shadowy radical Shi'ite groups, like Islamic Jihad, have claimed responsibility for a murderous catalog of suicide bomb attacks, skyjackings and kidnapings.

Worries about a vanishing repertory are more legitimate. The LP catalog has found a place for both the most familiar Beethoven symphonies and the most obscure baroque fugues. For now, classical and pop CDs run to the best-known artists and material. Yet some major classical labels, including RCA, CBS and the giant PolyGram complex (Deutsche Grammophon, Philips and London), have begun issuing their huge catalogs of conventionally recorded...
...architects' and designers' pioneering zeal seemed to give out, the enfants terribles Egon Schiele and Oskar Kokoschka (see following story) had their first shows of paintings in Vienna. Their intense, expressionist works did not flirt, like Klimt's gilded sultanic pictures, with bourgeois prettiness and what the catalog calls "proto-psychedelic sweetness." Schiele, who died young (in 1918, along with Moser, Wagner and Klimt), has been the subject of more passionate popularity than Kokoschka over the years: his images were the more earnestly pained and ugly. As Varnadoe writes, Viennese arts had lost their capacity for compromise between "the giddy...
