...trivial if director Douglas Keeve were not also focusing on Mizrahi's gathering nerves. The low point comes when a staffer brings in a copy of Women's Wear Daily that headlines the latest from Jean-Paul Gaultier, the tallest tree in Mizrahi's particular sector of the fashion forest. Gaultier's revelation? Eskimo chic. Mizrahi throws the paper on the floor...
...Bosnia flares like a midsummer forest fire, defying the West's wavering attempts to contain it. On Friday, July 21, the NATO allies announced a bold new plan to deter Serb aggression. In the days that followed this call to arms, Ratko Mladic, the commander of the rebel Bosnian Serbs, seized and "ethnically cleansed" one "safe area," Zepa, and intensified a brutal assault on another, Bihac. Meanwhile, an eventuality that the U.N. and NATO had dearly hoped to prevent--a widening of the Balkan war--seemed by Friday to have occurred, as Croatia joined the fighting. Not a very good...
...Forest Service will decide this fall whether to let Costner procure the parcel in exchange for a 585-acre site 12 miles from Deadwood.

The Forest Service now says it will let the Mother Nature work on the rocks for a year before making a decision on whether they look weathered enough...
...Forest Whitaker, currently being prodded by an alien on a screen near you in Species, is working on a touching project of his own. He's making his feature-film directing debut with Waiting to Exhale, the adaptation of the hugely popular 1992 novel by Terry McMillan, starring the even more popular WHITNEY HOUSTON. It's the story of four women, played by LORETTA DEVINE, Houston, ANGELA BASSETT and LELA ROCHON, who are all, for reasons mostly involving men, holding their breath. How did an actor macho enough to play a bomb expert in a bomb like Blown Away fare...
