Everyone expects azure skies and crystal-clear waters from the Maldives. But a jungle landscape so verdant it smacks of Borneo? Certainly, if you happen to be on Villingili island, home to half of the country's local flora in the form of lush primary forest, three freshwater lagoons and a sprawling mangrove swamp. It's there, in the Maldives' far-flung south, that you'll find the new Shangri-La Villingili Resort and Spa, www.shangri-la.com - the only luxury property in the area and the fruit of five years' laborious construction owing to its remote location...

If a machinist at a prosperous GM deserved $25 an hour, so did a machinist who worked for a barely profitable Chrysler or for a just-holding-its-own supplier plant that made axles or wheels or windshield wipers...
...whites of their wimples for future use. When she's apprenticed to a hosiery maker and trying to make money on the side singing in bars with Adrienne Chanel (Marie Gillain, playing a composite of Chanel's aunt and her sister), she rips apart a corset, giving Adrienne's lush body a chance to move within the clothing. As a young woman, vacationing with her lover at the beach, she covets the simplicity of the striped sweaters the sailors wear to mind their nets. (See pictures of Snuggie on the runway...
