What they find is $1,200-to-$1,500 dresses that have a fresh-from-the-womb maturity. Heavily darted, they're '40s-style shapely; they flare at the hem and enhance the bust and waist. Several spring looks are constructed of thin bands of material sewn together horizontally, like belts, that can be adjusted. "I think the idea of self-tailoring is very modern," says Posen. "I want to embrace the creativity of people. Besides, all women fuss with their clothes." His pattern-making skill is almost mathematical, fitting flat geometric shapes to moving form. "My clothes are supportive...
...Missouri, evening out its pulse--the naturally occurring spring rises and summer drops--and capturing much of the silt that gave the waterway its nickname "Big Muddy." The dams offered protection to some 1.4 million acres of rich, river-hugging farmland, curtailed damaging floods and made it possible to hem in the shifting riverbanks with miles of concrete levees and retaining walls. And for the 10 million inhabitants now living and working along its 2,341-mile path, the multitasking Mo is a source of drinking water, electricity and irrigation and a resource for shipping, sport fishing and other recreation...
...Bush is unlikely to make an outright political statement. Indeed, she hardly seems interested in making a fashion statement (though she lifts the hem of her brown slacks to show a stocking-free leg: Women Against Panty Hose, Unite!).

Kennedy says...
...recently: we?re not far from the former World Trade Center. How not-close? Well, these days, anyone who lives or works in lower Manhattan brags about how close they are to Ground Zero. I live on Hudson Street, three blocks above Chambers Street - eight blocks from the northern hem of the World Trade Center complex. Or maybe we?re closer. In a recent interview in The Guardian, Miramax boss Harvey Weinstein said that the explosions ?happened six blocks away from our offices in Tribeca.? Since the Miramax offices are three blocks north of us, perhaps we?re only three...
...shaped footprints in the sand, while riders rest on their haunches in the shade of acacia trees. Most of the men - Tuareg nomads from the small oasis town of Timia in the West African nation of Niger - wear loose fitting, black trousers, with yellow or white edging around the hem. Over the trousers hangs a cotton robe held at the waist by a colorful belt. Many wear turbans and sunglasses. One rider holds a bright blue and orange umbrella to protect himself from the sun, which at 8am is already blistering hot. Along the riverbed, small groups of drummers beat...
