...Amid the clamor of Jiang Zemin's visit and somber skies, the Harvard International Conference on Euthanasia began Saturday...
...effects for the furniture, whereas Meier wanted neither. The period decor, which was handled by the New York City architect-decorator Thierry Despont, is a flop. But Meier served the art very well, with a series of generously proportioned, plain, high-ceilinged and top-lighted galleries that don't clamor for attention and do create a feeling of undistracted serenity.

Part of the clamor was simply good buzz, with fashion reporters raving over Urban Decay's wild shades, like Asphalt (matte black), Mildew (organic green) and Plague (deep purple). But there was another reason for the long wait. "There were as many men as women" in line, says Zomnir...
