...imply that Chagall's Jewishness is incidental to his paintings; to my mind, it is crucial. His joyous, heaven-soaring creations are pictorial representations of basic Hasidic doctrine. In Judaism, matter and spirit are inseparable. The flesh is not corrupt; it is good, but must be illuminated by the spirit. This doctrine Chagall displays beautifully. Marriage, singing, dancing, the common, ordinary concerns of the village, all contain divine sparks that, if allowed to shine through, bring man into harmony with his fellow man and with God. Chagall is not consciously spreading Hasidism. But he imbibed it to his very...
...young feeling infected even Balenciaga, who at 72 is considered the Michelangelo of the trade. The master put his hostesses in white stretch pants under taupe chiffon or gold lamé topped by an ermine poncho. Sauciest fillip was a see-through chiffon muumuu worn over a flesh-colored skintight jump suit. And Pierre Cardin exposed his pound of flesh through circular cutouts scattered at strategic points on his dresses -here at the collarbone, there smack dab over the navel.

Just as eye-filling are the new mesh suits. With a now-you-see-me-now-you-don't magic, the mesh meets the flesh in various gradations of bravado-across the midriff, along the sides, and over necklines that dip to the navel.

Cole of California has already turned out 200,000 mesh suits and is still far short of meeting the demand. Not even the fact that...
...more than a decade ago they were known disparagingly in the business world as pirates and flesh peddlers. Company presidents sent them blistering letters, upbraiding them for tempting loyal, longtime employees with offers of other jobs. In recent years, however, riches and respectability have come to the executive recruiters. They now call themselves "executive search consultants," are called upon to help fill executive positions-generally decision-making jobs paying at least $20,000-by 75% of the nation's leading firms...
...sink his teeth in my face. Desperate, I planted the palm of my right hand against his nose and shoved with all my might. Suddenly I felt my hand slip into his mouth up to the wrist. I yanked frantically and got my hand free, but left shreds of flesh on Nero's teeth. Then he sank his teeth into my right leg until they actually penetrated to the bone and he started to drag me to one side of the arena. Just then he noticed the lioness, and went to her. I was unconscious the better part...
