At 17, he went to Paris in a purple leather ensemble he'd stiched especially for the occasion. In 1987, this nice Jewish boy from New York started a fashion house. Now he's got his own movie...
...prosecutors handled these witnesses like the hot potatoes they were, cross-examining them only briefly.

The prosecution would like to introduce the tape to refute the testimony of defense bloodstain witness Herbert MacDonell, who is expected to testify that the blood could...
...fiercely impressive as Oscar Wilde's. "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee"--he did that long before Muhammad Ali was born. On the other hand, he was a fine painter but never a great one, though some of his decorative work--conspicuously, the fabulous gold-on-leather Peacock Room in Washington's Freer Gallery--rose to greatness as decoration...
