...Hendrix concerts: London, Monterey, Woodstock and the Isle of Wight. A soundproof room offers a full-volume eight-minute extract from a Berkeley concert that includes Voodoo Chile and Johnny B. Goode. And starting Nov. 27, you can see the ultimate Hendrix icon: what's left of the Fender Stratocaster that he famously burned at the Monterey Festival. The annual Mois de la Photo festival has three themes this year: fashion, female photographers and images from the developing world. But the must-see show is Alexandra Boulat's, at the Galerie Debelleyme. The daughter of the distinguished Life and Paris...

No problem. Personalize it with 100 color and trim combinations, from shift knobs to stripes and fender flares...
...faux-retro Chrysler PT-cruiser. But reintroducing legends can be sticky. BMW got it right with the Mini Cooper Series. The Cooper S is almost as preposterously cute as its gutsy little '60s forebear. The outsize head lamps, the twin exhausts under the middle of the back fender and the squat little body mark it as a mini from the front and back. It's only from the side that one sees it has stretched, so it's cheerful and comfortable...
