...last question: Who has learned that size doesn't count as much as insouciance? Why, Andrew Lloyd Webber. His By Jeeves, a radical overhaul of his 1975 flop show, is a delight in miniature. Based on P.G. Wodehouse's tales of the supreme upper-class twit Bertie Wooster and his man Jeeves, a Zen master of irony, By Jeeves has a blitheness that makes the audience feel as if it's on a holiday from the huffery and puffery of the Boublil-Schonberg musicals (and of Sir Andrew's overblown Sunset Blvd...
Alan Ayckbourn's book builds, with deft comic logic, from a tangle of mistaken identities to the climactic remark, "There's a cat-burgling pig in my bedroom!" Lloyd Webber's tunes are inventive and sweetly chipper. The effect is of two precocious lads putting on a genial public-school charade.

...fashion's Frank Lloyd Wright. In the more than 50 collections he has produced since 1968, Calvin Klein has remained Seventh Avenue's most devout modernist, its pre-eminent avatar of form-follows-function thinking.

"I've never been one to see women in ruffles and all kinds of fanciful apparel. To me it's just silly...
...semiupscale erotic swank (think Bob Guccione's bachelor pad). You can tell they offer a somewhat better grade of porn than the local adult video store because they don't star actors named Long or Chesty; instead they feature respectable, if not always heavily-employed, talents like Emily Lloyd and Julian Sands, who played the aforementioned George. Red Shoe Diaries is narrated by X-Files star David Duchovny, who has hosted the series since it first aired, pre-X-Files, four years ago (back when the actor was presumably eager for this sort of work...
...shocked and dismayed by your report on the death of my niece Jessica, my brother Lloyd and Jessica's pilot and instructor, Joe Reid. To suggest that Lloyd for any reason would have purposely exposed Jessica to anything dangerous or life threatening is ridiculous. Remember, a licensed pilot was responsible for flying the plane the entire time and for making safety decisions. I knew Lloyd for almost 50 years. He was a warm, tender, loving, caring man. Lloyd and Jessica's flight was not a publicity stunt. The idea for this father-daughter adventure came about long before the news...
