...public was favored with novels by, yes, Joan Collins, Ivana Trump, Martina Navratilova, Britt Ekland and supermodel Naomi Campbell, whose publisher provided her with a 250-word synopsis of her book so that she would be able to discuss it with reporters. Fabio has published fiction too. "He was fabulous on ideas," says Ellen Edwards, who edited the chesty male model...
...here, which is a nice thing. And yes, the real Pocahontas probably didn't have Tina Turner's posture and Iman's neck. She probably didn't sing Broadway-style songs either or talk to a clever raccoon and a persnickety hummingbird. Maybe John Smith didn't look like Fabio and sound like Mel Gibson (who speaks the role). But this is a movie-a cartoon, for goodness' sake!

The book I speak of offers nothing in the way of violence or lust--although it may provoke horror or love depending on who reads...

"The U.S. didn't know how to calibrate the use of force," says Italian Defense Minister Fabio Fabbri. "They used too little in the beginning, when there were 30,000 troops there and all they did was give out food. Later, they used too much force in trying to get rid of Aidid. That brought the Somalis themselves into the battle, turning a humanitarian mission into urban...
