...late afternoon of May 1, a group of about 75 people chanted as they marched along Memorial Drive, up Plympton St., on to Massachusetts Ave. Spreading out along the perimeter of the Yard, the activists clamoured about the iron gates, attempting to gain entry onto Harvard's property...
Noise from the 18-year-old's bedroom, the one that years before her latest movie was already decorated in pink--the blinds, the iron bed, the vanity, the dresser. A gust of stardust, and in breezes Molly: impossibly clear complexion (considering her deep-fry diet), hair like Ronald McDonald's, the famous waxed-candy lips semaphoring a smile.

In fact, the company has helped design, build or equip about half of the more than 250 minimills in the world...

Mannequins were hung with virtuoso variations of dresses and skirts cut from polyester satin and jersey, colored pale red, musky gold and worn white, in a pattern transferred directly from photos of rusted iron. "I'm neither anti-Western nor pro-Eastern," Mori explains. "I'm interested in making clothes that bring out the originality of the individual." His dresses are unemphatic tokens of elegance, breezy bits of hotshot craftsmanship with a certain sophistication of spirit that sets him apart from most...
