Other editors are quick to dismiss this as a nonstory. "I've known Calvin Klein since 1979," says Harper's Bazaar editor in chief Elizabeth Tilberis. "I've known Karl Lagerfeld since 1968. I've known Gianni Versace since 1974. You've grown up with these people, and they'll always be friends. But it absolutely does not affect your editorial judgment or their placement of ads." And how meaningful is one little Chanel outfit presented gratuit to someone who doesn't pay for her clothes anyway? "I have a very generous clothing allowance," says Vogue's editor in chief...
During one remarkable scene in The Trial of Elizabeth Cree (Doubleday; 261 pages; $22), three men sit side by side in the Reading Room of the British Museum.

"It's time to face our embarrassment, be humbled, feel the humility of the sport and go and try to figure out some things," said a subdued coach George Karl after the team's final 114-110 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers...
...wrong. I know that honest work is honest work. My father is a farmworker and my mother a housewife and seamstress, and so I have had the experience of being a member of the Lumpenproletariat (which somehow seemed appropriate, since Karl Marx's birthday always falls on Cinco de Mayo). However, Harvard is supposed to be a pass to bigger and better things, and I hadn't expected to end up shoveling popcorn into Value Size cardboard containers. Soon enough that enterprising Harvard spirit set in: I set my sights on being employee of the month. I was sure that...
