...past few years, Karan has been through significant personal transitions; in 2001 her husband and business partner Stephen Weiss died of lung cancer. She gives yoga much credit for keeping her balanced, and in the past few seasons, she has drawn praise--rather than confused broadsides--for her collections. There are fewer asymmetrically hemmed skirts, more form-fitting and flattering basic pieces in her signature neutral palette. For fall 2003, she showed a group of white dresses, one a goddess-style evening gown in silk jersey patterned after the dress she made for herself the night before her daughter...

...still bad for you, and it's still as hard as ever to quit. But researchers have found two more good reasons--particularly for women--to tough it out. A study of 3,000 smokers, ages 40 years and older, showed that female smokers had twice the risk of lung cancer as their male counterparts, independent of age or the amount they smoked. Further, in a separate study of 5,300 smokers, scientists found that giving up cigarettes benefits women more than men.
