...shops in Beverly Hills, Marina del Rey, Studio City and other communities. Some of the stores, notably the dozen or so high-tech outlets owned by the San Francisco-based Gelato Classico chain, cannot meet the demand. Some, like A1 Gelato in Elmwood Park outside Chicago and the art deco Gelati per Tutti on Hollywood's trendy Melrose Avenue, have become landmarks, packing in the pilgrims as thick as the product. In hundreds of supermarkets, brightly colored gelato containers nestle next to such top-of-the-line American brands as Breyers and their pseudo-Scandinavian cousins, Häagen...
Called the Aroma Disc system, the new machine is expected to retail for $20. Upscale versions, priced as high as $125, will include a choice of ceramic camouflage (cats, clowns and art deco birds) designed by Giorgio Sant'Angelo. To improve the smell of the surroundings, one inserts a "fragrance record" into the machine. The company will not divulge its proprietary technology, but the scent is released when the oil-filled discs are warmed slightly in the machine. The discs will come in both long-playing versions that put out the same odor for five hours (price...
...slashing prices and skimping on service, Regent Air, a new carrier based in Los Angeles, intends to chart a different course. When its twice-daily flights between Los Angeles and New York City begin in July, passengers will live high as they fly high.

To trumpet its acquisition of 62 volumes dated from 1932 to 1945, the entire span of Hitler's Third Reich, Stern (circ. 1.87 million) summoned more than 200 print and television reporters from around the world to its art deco headquarters in Hamburg. There, at a self-congratulatory three-hour press conference, Editor in Chief Peter Koch announced: "I am 100% convinced that Hitler wrote every single word in those books...
...years since the release of the Merian C. Cooper classic King Kong, time has taken its toll on the beast and his splendid art-deco perch. The Empire State Building is no longer the world's tallest building, and King Kong is not the young buck he used to be either. This month, to celebrate the film's 50th anniversary, these two critical elements of the beauty-and-the-beast tale were reunited: a ten-story, 3,000-lb. inflatable Kong (at 84 ft., more than 30 ft. taller than the original) was hoisted a quarter-mile...
