By the time the open car reached Lisbon's cathedral, it was inches deep in confetti and flower petals that the crowd had showered on John Paul. Later the Pope met in Belem Palace with Portuguese President Antonio Ramalho Eanes...

Waterbeds, a splashy sales item among the flower children of the '60s, have found a new constituency: premature babies.

...house in Bel Air that the actress is renovating is an architectural celebration of her swelling condition. The edifice is filled with French-provincial antiques. Soon it will be enhanced by a crib that replicates in loving detail Smith's own antique bed, complete with details like hand-painted flowers and gold leaf. The master builder is sedately curled up on a plush flower-print couch in an upstairs parlor. Now seven months pregnant, she radiates a warmth well beyond her Charlie's Angel image. Her skin is flawless, her eyes full of the clear California light and her manner...
