...Kebede, along with Naomi Campbell, Jourdan Dunn and Sessilee Lopez, are the cover girls for four different versions of Vogue's Black issue, with the 100-page spread photographed by star shooter Steven Meisel. Sozzani says that black women stand out "because they are so elegant - it is an innate elegance." Most of the advertisements, however, feature white models, a sign that even a powerful editor can shake the industry's tree only so much...

He has assayed the holy fools of French history and literature: Danton, Tartuffe and, in a recent triumph playing...
...cannot hit it again unless he passes through a wicket. This can leave a player cooling his heels on the sidelines for a half an hour while his opponent hits through. Darryl Zanuck, one of old Hollywood's croquet fanatics, who included Harpo Marx, Samuel Goldwyn and Louis Jourdan, described the predicament: "When you're three-ball dead, you're just a useless...
