Many networks--as well as a site on the Web--offered Russians live coverage of the events. But life in St. Petersburg went on as usual. The center of the city is turning into a smaller version of Moscow, with Gucci shops and bodyguards, hotels with London prices and unofficial landmarks of the new order--like the spot on Nevsky Prospekt, the city's most famous shopping street, where a top government official was gunned down last year in a highly professional contract hit. As the funeral proceeded, city streets were busy, shops and offices were open as usual...

...Difficult Women, features on its cover a topless picture of author Elizabeth Wurtzel. Beyond it lies a seemingly unedited rant in which Wurtzel, billed on her book jacket as a Pagliaite, demands for herself and womankind the right to be rapacious, have fits and own more than one Gucci bag.

Here's what I'm telling them: let's merge the two companies so Gucci will no longer be subject to a takeover." He later denied part of this, but he has talked before of turning Prada into a multinational, multibrand house like LVMH, the French conglomerate that specializes in the whims of the very wealthy, from Louis Vuitton luggage to Christian Dior gowns...

...latest bid, says an Italian financial analyst, leaves little downside for Prada: "He's in a win-win situation. He's probably trying to put together a group so that he can go to a shareholders' meeting with 10% to 15% of the company. Given the broad ownership of Gucci, that would put him in a position to wield some power.
