...bring the brand's stores up to world-class par. Ford, who designed the Gucci stores with the help of William Sofield, enlisted Sofield's help for YSL. The first prototype opened in December in the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. The second, shown here, opened at the South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, California last month. But these stores are still works-in-progress. This fall, Ford's Saint Laurent stores will go head-to-head with the vanity projects of his competitors. The YSL store on Madison Avenue and 71st Street will be the first to feature...
Still, it must be noted that despite the bands and hugs and little American flags, these men and women are not exactly heroes.

Asked to imagine the boy's main impression, Roni Reich, director of Temple Mount excavations for the Israeli Antiquities Authority, says...
...deadpan performer of what he called "stand-up tragedy"; in Manhattan. In wartime Europe, Gottleib was carted to Dachau but used his family's money to buy his freedom from the Nazis and was assisted to California by Albert Einstein, reputedly his mother's boyfriend. A sort of West Coast Will Hunting, Gottleib worked as a janitor at Stanford, where he simultaneously beat 30 professors at chess. After his nightclub and TV appearances in the 1950s and '60s waned, he resurfaced on Late Night with David Letterman in the 1980s...
