...reported photo of Versace and Cunanan together at a party just days before the fashion designer's slaying actually shows neither of the two men. Although it is not clear whether Cunanan knew Versace, an acquaintance of Cunanan's reportedly told the FBI that the suspected killer had a crush on a member of Versace's entourage. Cunanan's suspected rampage has put designers on edge across the country, including famed fashion designer Giorgio Armani, who reportedly went into hiding over the weekend. In New York City, security was extremely tight as designers prepared for Men's Fashion Week...
...much significance in the work of Tony Orlando and Dawn. Early in her book about the ways in which American society still fails to indoctrinate girls into a sexually confident adulthood, Wolf uses the singing group's Knock Three Times--a song about a guy who has a crush on a cute neighbor he doesn't know--as an example of how teenage girls in the 1960s and '70s were taught to be blank images rather than real people.

The solution: a wire-stuffed box that performed a kind of simultaneous translation, enabling IBM machines to talk to Digital machines, wife to send grocery list to husband...
...really the other two actors who took the drama to its emotional climax. Gotlieb as Laura communicated primarily through eloquent looks before the arrival of the Gentleman Caller; but opened up with marvelous expressiveness in the tete-a-tete with her former high school "crush." In face, voice, and gesture, she touchingly evoked the painful shyness and self-consciousness of the disabled girl who is given one brief chance to bloom. Yet she also possessed an air of unexpected (and deeply affecting) grace and dignity in the most heartbreaking moment of the play...
