CAPE TOWN, S. AFRICA: Nelson Mandela, looking fit and every inch a president, opened the third South African Parliament since the 1994 all-race elections with a healing hour-long speech: "We can neither heal nor build, if on the one hand the rich in our society see the poor as hordes of irritants, or if, on the other hand, the poor sit back expecting charity," Mandela told Parliament in a televised speech.

Indeed, many experts think it is technically a brown dwarf--a star that never got big enough to ignite...
...from fashion eminences dourly predicting the early demise of the wildly expensive handmade-to-order business. Why then were the spring openings so vibrant, so full of beauty, craft and rich detail? At Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld outdid himself with a masterly display of chic invention and exquisite attention to fit; the pick of the supermodel pack were on hand, and they never looked prettier. At Dior, Gianfranco Ferre chose a theme of flowers--surely an invitation to cliche--and turned out a collection with lightness and youthful charm. Christian Lacroix produced a rhapsodic meditation on the skirt, recasting his famous...
