...group's most publicized-and most pessimistic-member is Bernard-Henri Lévy, 28, a long-tressed editor at the Paris publishing house of Grasset who coined the term New Philosophers. In his hot-selling polemic, Barbarism with a Human Face, Lévy attacks the promises of Marxism as empty. "Revolution is a myth," he says, pointing to the Soviet Union; instead of "withering away," as Marx predicted, the state has grown into a monstrous "reactionary machine." Lévy blames the persistence of Marxist ideas in France on the thinkers of the French Enlightenment, who paved...
...Year of the Leg. Designers can hardly do too much to glamorize the gam and take the limb out of limbo. Dawn Mello, fashion director of Bergdorf Goodman, pronounces: "If you want to do something new to your wardrobe, you accessorize the leg." Adds Sunny Clark, a buyer for Henri Bendel: "This year there are a jillion different looks for the leg." The re-emergence of the leg results partly from the new, bigger, fuller skirts and dresses that require attention be paid to the underpinnings.

(Cézanne was 53 when Vollard "discovered" him in 1892 by buying five oils at auction for a paltry 900-odd francs.) Buying cheap and selling dear, he got in on the ground floor of Gauguin, Van Gogh, Bonnard, Vuillard, Renoir and Chagall as well. He then ploughed his fortune back into the publication of artists' prints and deluxe editions of texts classical and modern...
...Angeles County-University of Southern California Medical Center since 1973, says that a year or more after their treatment, 23 out of 24 patients showed no recurrence of breast cancer. In France, where he has treated some 500 women with iridium implants since 1961, Dr. Bernard Pierquin of Henri Mondor Hospital in the Paris suburb of Créteil reports a survival rate of about 75% to 80% after ten years-comparable to the results of radical mastectomies...
