...celebrated rapper, producer, philanthropist and party-giver-and-goer extraordinaire, Sean ("Puffy") Combs is used to being the center of attention. But the eyes of the music world will be on him for another reason this week: on Thursday the multimillionaire hip-hop mogul is scheduled to appear in a New York State criminal courtroom to face felony charges for assault. In April he and two bodyguards invaded the office of Interscope Records president of black music Steve Stoute and allegedly administered a street-style beat-down. Combs blamed Stoute for allowing MTV to air a music video with...
Opening with their classic, "Remedy," the Crowes established an intensity that lasted well into the second hour of play. "I haven't felt that much energy since a Gwar show back in the 80s," cried a fellow concert-goer. Indeed, the Crowes had a distinctively non-Orpheum crowd shaking like Salt 'n Pepa, moshing like Eddie Vedder and grooving like Beck on a runaway turntable.

Pieces such as Max Beckmann's hollow-eyed Self-Portrait and Lyonel Feiniger's playfully interpretable Hairdresser's Dummy with Mr. and Mrs. Feiniger have the modern emphasis on form which mark their contemporaries in architecture and design, but their...
Later that night, one member of FM visited the Fly Club, where blood alcohol apparently turned to testosterone--transubstantiation run amok as a fight broke out and some Fly guys wrinkled their khakis. One female party-goer, disgusted with the machismo demonstration, remarked, "No matter how much renovation they do, this place will always be a dump...
