Faceted stones are turning up everywhere?from bikinis to iPods?so it comes as no surprise, really, that some of the most sought-after scents this fall look like real gems. Leiber's eponymous first scent?bearing the refined shape of an Art Deco diamond, left???was designed for a "woman who appreciates what a little luxury can do for your spirit," says creative director Frank Zambrelli. Emporio Armani's Diamonds bottle, right, is sharply faceted, for the more audacious...
...PILOTS. The men who occupy the left???or captain's ?seat of jet airliners operated by the world's major carriers are without question superb flyers. They have risen to the top of their profession through a system designed to weed out the incompetent.

Finally, he said, he collapsed in his hotel room, going out only once before morning to talk to a man he identified as a clerk. Russell E. Peachey, actually...
...most French political experts feel that the Gaullist party will never again place enough members in the National Assembly to form a working majority. If the present Assembly were dissolved at any time soon, the feeling at the moment among most French politicians is that the so-called combined left???Communists plus Mitterrand's assortment of Socialists-would command a solid majority in which the Communist ratio would be higher than it is now. At present, it is 73 Reds v. 121 Socialists. As a result, Communist leverage in a regime of the left would be considerable. In the event...
