...January, will likely continue to receive raves from the fashion press. But they're unlikely to shock the media as a whole into paying attention. The controversy created by the presence of Berg* and Saint Laurent was of a sort that is lost on anyone outside fashion's inner circle. Sure, Arnault scored points there, but the larger question remains whether Dior Homme's stark ads, minimal styles and boyish models make sense in the house of Dior that Galliano has been remodeling.

The model was developed by researchers at Clemson University and will be expanded to other historically black schools...

In essence, the only Iraqis who are not threatened by poverty are those who rely...
...issue facing the country: Racism, sexism and class warfare all play their own critical roles in defining and further electrifying what has never been a simple exchange. In the past decade, an uproar has grown over the discrepancies between sentencing for possession of crack (which tends to surface in inner cities and often carries an extremely harsh punishment) and cocaine (the drug of choice among the upper class; repercussions tend to be much lighter) - a chasm that emphasizes race and class divides. Proportionately, more women than men are incarcerated on drug charges, and far more black and Hispanic addicts...
