...months in a Rawalpindi jail for drug smuggling; to Los Angeles. Aude was arrested at Islamabad airport in February 2002 when security agents found 3.6 kg of opium in the lining of his suitcase. His seven-year sentence was commuted when Razmik Minasian, who hired Aude to transport leather goods from Pakistan to the U.S., was arrested in Los Angeles on a drug-smuggling charge and admitted that he had put the drugs in the suitcase lining.

...entrance of a sleek gray sandstone-and-glass terminal in Frankfurt Airport by a personal assistant who handles all of air travel's mundane tasks?from bag check-in to seat assignments. These pampered passengers?only about 350 daily?then wait in an opulent lounge with overstuffed Italian leather chairs, a linen-tablecloth restaurant, offices and a cigar room with a selection of whiskeys.

Already companies like Bottega Veneta, Tod's and D&G have been creating apparel and leather goods for tots, and J. Crew is entering the field with tiny Argyle cardigans. In response to increasing demand for baby furniture that "flows with the rest of the house," the home-furnishings website Nurseryworks has commissioned midcentury modern-style cribs, above, changing tables and rocking chairs from California-based designers Glenn Lawson and Grant Fenning of Lawson-Fenning, as well as graphic bedding...
...modesty isn't charming, so Clooney readily admits that he's a giant celebrity, only he presents it more as a fact than an accomplishment. "It doesn't matter how much talent and ambition you have. You need a big piece of luck," he says, sitting on the maroon leather couch in his lodge-like living room. "If ER got a Friday-night pickup instead of Thursday, then I don't get to do movies," he says, acknowledging that being part of NBC's "must-see" lineup meant that people actually...
