...whether his quarterback throws for a big gain or gets sacked. He is a video-game whiz kid, and the playing field is his Grand Theft Auto Vice City. He is a field marshal and, sometimes, a counselor--General Patton and Dr. Phil. The quarterback may be the glamour boy, but the coach is the star. The TV camera knows this: during a game it follows Bill Parcells, head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, as avidly as if he were J. Lo with her back turned...
...while originality abounded at the Dior show with 1950s-style gold gowns and Nefertiti headdresses piled high with crystals, pearls and gold-plated glamour, the stylists were thrilled by the sight of model Liya Kebede in a slick silver dress at Chanel (for Nicole, perhaps?). And they scribbled furiously as a Stepford-style Donatella look-alike in crystal-encrusted satin came down the catwalk at Versace (undoubtedly...
...prosperous Jewish parents, Newton fled from Hitler's Germany to Singapore, where he took up the camera, then to Australia, where he was discovered by Vogue. In London and New York, he developed the louche, provocative style of his breakthrough 1976 book, White Women.

Cabins are comparatively roomy, and three-quarters of them have balconies. Some observers on the preliminary tour complained that the furniture...
DIED. INGRID THULIN, 77, severe, worldly Swedish actress, who lent her grave glamour to eight Ingmar Bergman films; of cancer; in Stockholm. The cool blond projected a knowing pessimism in Bergman's Wild Strawberries and The Magician, desperate longing in Winter Light and The Silence, and a mutilating self-hatred in Cries and Whispers. Though her one Hollywood film, The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, was a flop, she shone as a soulful socialist in Alain Resnais's La Guerre Est Finie and as a Nazi-era matriarch in Luchino Visconti's The Damned...
