...designers as the more high-profile clothes they create for their spring and fall seasons, not only for the long shelf life--merchandise sold under the resort label can sell at full price from late October all the way through to early April--but also as a fashion testing ground. Many European designers use their resort lines to try out ideas for upcoming spring collections. A color like last spring's grass green and a shape like the skinny pant first emerged in resort collections. For its 2007 resort line, Prada is introducing a new fuller shape, floral prints...

It didn't reflect the reality on the ground, or even the reality of U.S. policy, which still supports oppressive regimes around the world. It came after years of grandiloquent sloganeering: "the war on terror," "the axis of evil," wanton talk of crusades and evildoers and an ill-conceived war with Iraq. Furthermore, the President's speech was based on a simplistic vision of America's role in the world, one firmly rooted in American infallibility. And finally, there was a fundamental...
