...former state supreme court justice, Archer is known for long deliberation before he acts. Not much studying was required here: only half of Detroit's high school students graduate, most basic supplies--from textbooks to toilet paper--somehow have trouble making it into schools, and teachers routinely walk out on strike. While Archer has succeeded in reducing crime and luring Big Business since taking over as mayor in 1994, he says the city's decades-long flight of middle-class residents can't be reversed unless the city's schools get better. "Any mayor in the country will tell...
Further proof that Penthouse is not a family publication: last week publisher BOB GUCCIONE took steps to evict his son and former employee Anthony from the apartment in which he'd been living since 1987. Anthony, who worked for Penthouse's parent company until 1997, claims his Manhattan loft was a gift from his father for graduating from Harvard and joining the family business.

Yates creates simple but dainty dresses and pants that signal a wistfulness for an era when playful flirtation was the language that reigned between men and women. Her pricing, unlike her peers', is relatively quaint too, with a ceiling of $300. Like Tuleh's Patner, Yates is a former stylist. In the early '90s she began to make clothes in her spare time. When she took them to photo shoots, the models couldn't keep their hands off them. In the past year her garments have made their way into Barney's New York and Henri Bendel, where they...
...Hollywood calls for dropping your agent in exchange for a manager. Stiles did the opposite. "Having a manager is sort of superfluous and redundant," she says. "My agent and publicist are doing a fine job, and I didn't feel like paying somebody else 10% to do nothing." Stiles' former manager refused comment, other than to say that he lined up her last three projects, including 10 Things...
