(Ford's first famous look: velvet hiphuggers and a satin shirt.) Incontrovertible evidence of how far it has come: Helen Hunt wore Gucci to the Oscars this year...
...Helen Schulman has proved once again the incredible selfishness of human beings who claim they want to be parents, but only if they are parents of their own biological children [BOOK EXCERPT, May 18]. I believe she truly mourns the loss of the babies that were spontaneously aborted, but what of the child whose parents "spontaneously abort" their role as caregiver?

...show the dramatic declines seen in, say, Malaysia and Indonesia. And no matter how savvy, individual travelers or companies aren't always equipped to negotiate the best deals. "I was attending a conference in Bangkok, and when we called this hotel, we were charged $85 a night," says Helen Peterson, spokeswoman for the Asia division of the Pacific Asia Travel Association, a travel-industry advisory group. "But a good travel agent got us into the same hotel for $54. We asked the hotel why, and it said that the travel agent gave it the bulk of its business...
