...Bergé secured his release, and the two created the house of Yves Saint Laurent in 1961. His ideas went down much better in the relaxed atmosphere of the 1960s - creations like the Mondrian dress and the Le Smoking jacket became style icons. Saint Laurent became part of the jet set, socializing with Catherine Deneuve and Andy Warhol. Enthralled with youth culture, he opened Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche, a store of less expensive ready-to-wear, on the hip left bank. Bergé meanwhile worked to maximize the Saint Laurent name with fragrances and a variety of licenses...
...private talk with anyone who mattered in Beijing, and the public tone was not encouraging. Chinese officials claimed that the U.S. plane had veered suddenly into the F-8 fighter, even though the EP-3E is about half as fast as and far less nimble than the Chinese jet.

The ease of travel, the advances in communications technology, the ubiquity of multinational brand names, the interdependence of the global economy - all have served to provide young adults with a set of mutual experiences, attitudes and cultural cues. In a Continent where 83% of young West European adults carry mobile phones, this generation's lingua franca is the text message. Europe's nightclubs have...
...place that always makes those Best Cities for Business lists. So perhaps Boeing has had too much of a good thing. How else could city and state officials explain last week's announcement by CEO Phil Condit at a press conference in Washington that Boeing is blowing town. The Jet City's jet company is enplaning for parts known: either Dallas, Denver or Chicago...
