...Baker boys need to refurbish their tired act. But Susie Diamond (Michelle Pfeiffer) is not at first glance an answered prayer. She totters into their lives on a broken high heel, late for her audition and not exactly thrilled to be there in any case. But wonder of wonders, she can sing. And both onstage and off, she combines worldliness and vulnerability in a way that shakes up audiences as well as her new employers...
...survey, conducted by Yankelovich Clancy Shulman, found that 75% of those questioned approve of Bush's performance in office -- a new high for the President, and a better mark by far than Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford or Richard Nixon received at this stage of their terms. Bush may also find that his popularity has coattails: when asked with which party they identify, just as many people called themselves Republicans (32%) as Democrats. In Yankelovich surveys earlier this year, Democrats averaged a six- point edge. By 39% to 29%, the G.O.P. is seen as better able than the Democrats...

But it is Karan's more congenially priced DKNY wardrobe that has struck a popular chord. Among its current best sellers: plaid wool jackets ($395), denim jeans ($85) and merino-wool cardigans...
Woody remembers that trip, along with two earlier jaunts to the Crescent City, as high points of his life. Accompanied by Diane Keaton, he scurried around the French Quarter with his clarinet under his arm, looking, listening and sitting in with local jazzmen. "It was like watching Willie Mays all your life and then finding yourself in the outfield with him," Woody recalls. Festival producer George Wein even talked him into playing a set at one of the official concerts...
