...piece of cloth was discovered inside the altar of the Trier Cathedral's west choir; it was walled up again until Easter 1512, when German Emperor Maximilian demanded that it be shown. What he saw was a simple, loose silk shirt about five feet long. But on closer look, a woven cotton cloth, believed to be the tunic itself, was found enfolded between layers of silk...
Best Customer. With Nudie setting the styles, movie cowboys moved out of pinched jackets and cornball jeans; the drape shape took over. When the Ivy League look came along, Nudie's customers got that too: "everything slim jim." Then TV arrived to give Nudie's business a real bulge. Wagon Train, Roy Rogers, Annie Oakley, Wyatt Earp and almost all the electronic range riders bought his clothes. Still, he complains, it could have been better. "They wear the same damn clothes for 39 shows...
...homely virtues of the Lloyd C. Douglas novel that inspired it. For oldtime Moviemaker Rowland V. Lee (The Count of Monte Cristo) knows just where the millions lie: in fictionalized history, resplendently costumed, sexed up, and heavily flavored with religion. There are sumptuous orgies in palaces that look like the new banks of Beverly Hills; John the Baptist is beheaded in 70-mm.

To rid the prefab of the boxy, cheap look and boring sameness that once plagued it, he has hired top architects to give his houses style, turns out four basic models in 600 different variations ranging from a three-bedroom $7.900 home to a $150,000 custom-built one. Price also has another valuable asset: his brother George, National...
...them, but instead, it quickly reverted to its old ways. Today, a simple plaque marks the place where Savonarola was burned; few tourists ever notice it in the pavement, are drawn instead to a spot only a short distance away, where an array of nude marble statues seem to look ironically down at the inconspicuous marker. Dominicans have made several attempts-the last only five years ago-to have their hero canonized. But sainthood is unlikely, say Vatican spokesmen, because the man Savonarola defied was a Pope, even though he was a Borgia. To the historian, perhaps the most fascinating...
