...thoughts are hardly radical. Even her insistence that what Halston needs is a "designer who won't ignore the dna" isn't new. That formula has been tried, with lackluster results, three times in recent years. The fourth hire is Marco Zanini, most recently at Versace working alongside Donatella Versace, who will now work with Mellon and the Hollywood stylist Rachel Zoe, also a part of Halston's creative advisory team...

"It'll come from future R and D, so McLaren may not be competitive for 2008," Stewart suggests. And the drivers' title may get the most attention, but McLaren's engineering suppliers are unlikely to be so forgiving at losing out on the constructors' trophy. The team's engine maker "Mercedes-Benz will be horrified," Stewart says. The constructors' championship is "why they...
