...rival the legend that is Jane Fonda. From her Kennedy-level Hollywood lineage to her multiple Madonna-like transformations, the star has dazzled the cinematic, fitness, and activist scenes, staying long enough to ruffle a few feathers or win an Oscar before moving onto a different chapter. After a 15-year film hiatus, a third divorce (from media mogul Ted Turner, who—as Fonda reveals in her book—supplied “terrific fountains-of-Versailles and fireworks sex!”), and a great many hours in therapy, Fonda has returned, resurrected from beyond...
...DIED. Jane Jacobs, 89, self-taught urban-planning guru whose clear, sensible voice--most famously in her seminal 1961 book, The Death and Life of Great American Cities--miffed the powerful and revolutionized the field; in Toronto.

By using its own bank, the company will save fractions of a penny on each transaction, yielding $5 million to $10 million a year, which it says...
...column, “Stripper Ergo...Rape?” (Apr. 12), Ashton R. Lattimore makes a commendable effort to address the disturbing cultural tendency to “explain” the crime and blame the rape victim. But the Duke lacrosse situation is not, thus far, a Jane Doe case. Lattimore’s concern—that the media firestorm has played a major role in discrediting the alleged victim, an exotic dancer—has been substantially outweighed by the thorough vilification of the ostensibly rich, white, privileged team members and the elitist university they represent...
