...precicted. After hiding for 10 months, Chai eventually reached France (she's saving the details of her escape for a forthcoming autobiography), and was granted political asylum. She came to the U.S. in 1990 and earned a master's degree in international relations at Princeton. She married and divorced Feng Congde, a "vice commander in chief" of the student protesters. Now a management consultant in Boston, she remains active in the fight to liberate China. Says she:"I do believe change will come...

From cut velvet to georgette, she made everything seem like gossamer and draped it skillfully on the body. Byron Lars, who is just 29, put on the most dazzling show of all three cities, full of swagger and unabashed theatrics, with the most sophisticated music -- ranging from bongo drums to Delibes -- since the early days of Lacroix.
