...Mama Kin Playhouse (owned by Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, of all people) presented Ravi Coltrane. As the son of John Coltrane, the legendary jazz musician, Ravi is making the saxophone a treasured trademark of the Coltrane family and also creating his own style. Dapper suits and casual jeans, cocktail dresses and T-shirts all stepped into the dim club with a quiet sophistication...
...chile and lime, topped with strips of tortilla chips. Smoky Avocado Chipotle Salsa ($3.95) resembles a cross between salsa and chunky guacamole, served with Tostones, which are fried plantain chips. Peel-N-Eat shrimp ($6.95) are an even more unusual addition to a Tex-Mex menu, served with spicy cocktail sauce and a side of salsa fresca.

The stock rose right back to 75 7/8, putting the company's total market value back above that of Bill Gates and his gang...
Others have noted a similar gender gap. "If a man cheats," says Gagnon, "women think less of him. If a woman cheats, they think she must have been provoked." Rufus Griscom, the editor in chief of Nerve, the online magazine of "literate smut," agrees: "My cocktail party polling has yielded the same results. A lot of women I've talked to definitely feel that women sleeping around is kind of retribution." Be that as it may, a TIME/CNN poll following Clinton's speech showed that women haven't yet deserted him, but there may be trouble in this: when asked...
