...inhabitants of the island than any that their extraordinary talents have yet accomplished. But let's begin with a couple of practical suggestions to help both sides. Introduce real local government in the North, as the Unionists want, but incorporate Nationalist representation in chairmanships and local councils. In return, construct a viable and comprehensive structure of cooperation between the security forces of the Republic and Britain, to defeat terrorism within the present constitutional framework.

The Paris house is heavily antiqued. "The most perfect moment in France for me was the 18th century," Lagerfeld says. Over in Brittany he has imported fountains, even torn down stands of trees, to restore the house to its original glory. "Anybody who saw him there...
