...NEWEST STATUS SYMBOL The two-seater Lexus LS-F, designed to compete with high-end European roadsters, will be the first car from Toyota to crack $100,000. --By Joseph R. Szczesny
...wife--a hectoring, transpacific phone voice--or to Charlotte's photographer husband (Giovanni Ribisi), who's easily beguiled by blond starlets. The movie also makes too much easy fun of the Japanese: that they are a short people who speak in very long sentences and mix up their ls and rs. (A prostitute invades Bob's room and orders him to "lip my stockings.") But that's just America's cultural myopia at work abroad. We go there and wonder, Why don't these people speak English?

Many of the writings Uday left behind are mundane, like a few cards from his handwritten video-collection catalog. The Ls include License to Kill (two copies), Like Father Like Son and Loose Cannons. But some are significant. An official letter signed by Uday and countersigned by seven witnesses, for example, says that well-known opposition Shi'ite leader Thafer Mohammed Jaber was captured on Sept. 3, 1995, and was being kept in one of Saddam's palaces.

This makes for a wonderful triple play here, cloud-filled skies sweeping over broad plains painted by three generations: Ruisdael's pastoral View of Haarlem with Bleaching Grounds, Georges Michel's barren and stormy...
...unknown. Meanwhile, Frank Lautenberg, the 78-year-old ex Senator, wanted in. Corzine, the reserved Wall Street millionaire, championed Lautenberg throughout the day and McGreevey, a wiry, tough pol, came to the same conclusion. For Torricelli, who literally hates Lautenberg and even threatened to cut off his "b__ls" in an infamous 1999 Democratic meeting, Lautenberg was tough to take. But, say insiders, he quickly caved. On 9 p.m. Monday night at Drumthwacket, Torch told the group, "One of the advantages of withdrwawl is," he paused, "I get to go home early." Everyone chuckled...
