...Women are mothering and caring, and they do a better job on food," says Mike Riordan, a motorman from Florida. Alvin Moreau, a Cajun who is the safety-and-cleanliness officer, agrees. "The men appreciate being able to chat with women and hear female voices, and the atmosphere is more relaxed and so safer," he says. What the women appreciate is earning up to $19,000 for six months' work, which permits them to hold other jobs at home, to spend solid time with families or simply to vacation...

But then, doesn't everybody?" said Ferguson's mum, Susan Barrantes, who left home when Sarah was 14 and married an Argentine polo player.

Blane's snooty friend Steff (James Spader) could be a tired stereotype, but with his all-year tan, his hip-blase voice and his view of high school as a "career," Steff becomes a recognizable character...
...aura of power. He alerts the embassies. Bodyguards watch over him. The maid at London's posh Claridge's covers the floor with towels because Kissinger, she says, does not like to walk barefoot on hotel carpets. Arriving in Paris, Kissinger is invited to the Elysee Palace for a chat with President Francois Mitterrand; in Peking, Deng Xiaoping suggests a talk over tea. Back in New York City, the famous face and graveled accent cause a stir even at the Four Seasons, Manhattan's power-lunch emporium...
