...houses. In an interview last year, Bertelli accused Ford of stealing his wife's ideas: "They did black nylon bags and put their bamboo handles on them; they did our high-gloss calfskin--they started using all our materials," he said. "It doesn't make sense. Gucci should follow its own strategy, not mine." Such bluster, says a Gucci spokesman, is common among fashion designers. Ford and De Sole have ignored...
That said, let us review the classic taboos. Religion? Unsafe, unless you follow the example of Henry R. Luce, who had no small talk and once asked a dinner partner in all seriousness, "What do you think of the resurrection of the body?" The woman was, I believe, struck dumb.

...York Times, I'm writing you as a cancer patient undergoing treatment. You maligned science reporter Gina Kolata's Times article on new cancer drugs for creating "false hopes" in patients most in need of a breakthrough [SPECIAL REPORT: CURING CANCER, May 18].

Stein's experience in the Meese investigation should prove invaluable. He understands the nitty-gritty of how special prosecutors investigate and strike deals, and he knows the law they must follow cold. But more than that, he is a walking, talking precedent for prosecutorial forbearance. It took Stein just six months and $312,000 to wrap up his investigation and decide not to bring any indictments against Meese. So when he finally sits down with Starr, Stein won't be just Lewinsky's defender. He'll be Exhibit A in the argument that it may be time for Starr...
