...MSNBC reporter, Kelly Smith, reported as follows on Thursday from Crawford, Texas: "Governor George W. Bush made an appearance before reporters at his ranch today, trying to look presidential." The comics (Leno, Letterman, Comedy Central) have swarmed all over Gore and Bush, pointing and woofing at the forest of American flags arrayed behind non-presidents and non-vice presidents as they've appeared on television to wheedle and spin. The flag (reverenced as a sacred object during annual flag-burning-bill debates) turns into a cheesy stage prop for the drooling suitors...

...power and chic. The achievement of the magazine's current incarnation (since 1983) is to make a case that modern stars are true avatars of the grand old style. This volume's swank portraits of Cameron Diaz, Cate Blanchett, Johnny Depp, smartly juxtaposed with pictures of Gable, Garbo, Crawford (some originally published elsewhere), suggest an unbroken dynasty of movie glamour. A few shock photos--like Annie Leibovitz's 1995 reunion of Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon--prove that aging stars have a sense of humor. This is the ultimate Hollywood picture history, convincing us that stars had faces then...
