Maggie Ellinger-Locke, 19, of the St. Louis, Mo., suburb of University City, has been a vegetarian for eight years and went vegan at 15. Since then she has not worn leather or wool products or slept under a down comforter. She has not used cups or utensils that have touched meat. "It felt like we were keeping kosher," says Maggie's mother Linda, who isn't Jewish. At high school Maggie was ridiculed, even shoved to the ground, by teen boys who apparently found her eating habits threatening. She found a happy ending, of sorts, enrolling at Antioch College...
...starkest plot twists, everyone sings and dances. Virtually all Bollywood films are musicals. For 60 years, they have provided India with most of its hit songs (in effect, the movie industry is the music industry). And not just songs?immense production numbers. Dozens of chorus boys in leather and houris in saris frolic while the stars risk dislocating their shoulders and display '60s-style legwork not seen in the West since the Peppermint Lounge closed. The stars dance, but they don't sing. That's the job of "playback singers," unseen onscreen but famous on CDs. One playback diva, Lata...

But there was discipline to the decoration, and the result was a show to out-haute the best of them. Like Lacroix, Gaultier mixes age-old techniques - embroidery, appliqu?, draping - with...
...erased charges that as an oilman in the '80s, he profited from the same kind of sweetheart deals he now decries. Public opinion is focused not on the Beltway but on the boardroom, and the President's career, lineage and aspect all put him in one of the fancy leather swivel chairs. "CEO," an adviser warned the President, "has become a dirty word...
Your item on actress Jennifer Garner's upcoming movie, Daredevil, noted that she gets to wear great costumes, like the form-fitting, black leather outfit she sports in the photo accompanying your piece--which her ninja character wears to "go out killing" [PEOPLE, June 10]. How sickening! Is Hollywood intent on continually glorifying violence with movies that feature ridiculous plot lines and scantily clad women? Thanks for saving me 10 bucks. Daredevil is one movie I will not be seeing! ALISHA DHILLON SINGH Bellevue, Wash...
