It's a plot similar to the film Leone was making that year: Once Upon a Time in the West, another decades-old revenge story and one of the great, elegiac Westerns. It was horse opera rendered as grand opera, with Morricone's fullest, most voluptuous score. Corbucci's vision was much bleaker. For once the good guy doesn...

...Sinatra's "The Best Is Yet to Come" as Ralph strolled the runway, taking in the standing ovation and embracing friends and family? You bet. And the best was yet to come: as Lauren grabbed his wife, Ricky, and headed off-stage, the painted backdrop - a reproduction of a Jean-Gabriel Domergue painting, "Barbara Au Derby" - lifted to reveal the evening's real masterpiece, a twilight garden scene complete with chandeliers, fountain, waiters in white tie and clouds of hydrangea.

Clairol's 1956 advertising - campaign slogan "Does she or doesn't she?" was specifically designed to remove the stigma attached to Mae West-Jean Harlow-style hair coloring with the reassuring answer: "Hair color so natural, only her hairdresser knows for sure." And American women never looked back. As Nora Ephron - at 66, a proud artificial brunet - puts it in I Feel Bad About My Neck: "There's a reason...

Still, countries that are far stodgier about wine than the U.S. are starting to change. The English have bought wine in plastic packs for years. Even some vintners in France, whose wine industry has been in trouble because of worldwide competition and overproduction, are experimenting with alternatives to glass. Jean-Charles Boisset, whose family business is a market leader, likens wine drinkers and their adaptability to the consumers of another once upscale product. "You squeeze mustard from a plastic bottle, when you traditionally got it from a glass bottle," he says matter-of-factly...
