...vacationing together as they have in the past. In Malibu, California, Ovitz is buying a few acres of property on a seaside bluff, a $5 million parcel belonging to Motown mogul Berry Gordy. Malibu property has a distressing habit of sliding into the sea or turning into charcoal, yet this particular purchase caused great chagrin to Ovitz's former Creative Artists partner Ron Meyer, now president of Universal. Seems Meyer had unwarily confided in Ovitz that he absolutely coveted the property, only to learn two days later that Ovitz had snapped it up. In addition, Ovitz apparently isn't satisfied...
...bitterness for civilization's trespass conflicted with the sweetness of Kozelek's and Red House Painters' presence on Sunday night, nothing plagued the performance more than the choice of venue.

The course introduces students to concepts in visual arts through hands-on projects in charcoal drawing, photography and other media...
...city's new mayor. Formerly the all-powerful speaker of the California assembly, Brown had agonized over which of three designer suits to wear to his swearing in. He finally decided to have Polaroids taken to see which suit would photograph better. The winner: a $2,600 single-breasted charcoal-gray Brioni with a brown pencil stripe. Haberdasher Wilkes Bashford, a longtime Brown outfitter, provided the final, Caesarean touch at a preinauguration party: a wreath of laurel. "I take my job pretty seriously," said Bashford, "and I missed one accessory." The ebullient Brown...
