...blue jeans, and they are more flattering to most women. Along with modified riding pants, they are expected to be the most influential women's trousers for the fall. And not just for lounging around after skiing, either. Says Deedee Alexander, a buyer for Manhattan's trendy Henri Bendel: "There are some dressy suits that can be worn to the theater. We have them in black and strawberry velour just for that." The summer Olympic Games will give the warmup suit free saturation promotion on television. After the Chanel suit and Gucci loafers, it may just...
There are two claimants to the throne of France. Prince Henri, Count of Paris, 67, is descended from the ancient royal line of Bourbon-Orleans; he is married to Princess Isabelle of Orleans and Braganza. A friend of Charles de Gaulle, who once described the count as "my successor," he has four living sons (one died as a soldier in Algeria) and six daughters. His rival is Prince Louis Napoleon, 62, a World War II Resistance hero who is not only a Bonaparte, but is also descended from France's royal line. A wealthy businessman, he is married...

Defoer spent the next two years in research trying to verify his discovery. This week he jubilantly announced his museum's acquisition of Rembrandt's Doop van de Kamerling (The Baptism of the Moor), the artist's second oldest known work. Painted...
...name? Not much, the historian of art is bound to answer. Cubism was not about cubes, nor Fauvism about wild beasts. When in 1905 an affable critic looked round the Paris Salon d'Automne, which contained an Italianate bust surrounded by the paintings of Henri Matisse and his disciples, he made a wisecrack about "Donatella chez les fauves" (Donatello among the wild beasts), thus giving a short-lived movement a very durable and misleading label. Fauvism was worked out by a small group of artists over a span of three years; it was dead by 1907. It could coarsely...
