...success is the informal style of his salon, where on any given afternoon Deneuve's head might be in the washbasin while John Galliano waits his turn and Kristin Scott Thomas checks in. Everyone is treated in the same way, and everyone is included in Robin's coffee-klatsch conversation. Like Robin's former salon, Autour stands at the back of a courtyard. "That business of clients sitting outside, talking and smoking will continue," Robin promises. Nevertheless, there is a secret side entrance for those avoiding the glare of paparazzi. (Both Robin and Gonzalez treat Isabelle Adjani?France's Greta...
...community. "The idea is that we will lead the transformation of the Web into a social Web," Rheingold says.

Britain's ultraconservative Monday Club is not really to the right of Genghis Khan. On the other hand, it is not too far to the left either. The loud and unmistakable voice of British reaction, the club was organized in 1961 as a Monday luncheon klatsch by a small group of Tory bluebloods who were upset by the changes they felt were sweeping through Harold Macmillan's government. Today the group is chaired by Merchant Banker Jonathan Guinness, 43, member of the famed brewing family and a stepson of Sir Oswald Mosley, leader of Britain's fascists...
