...Franken and Janeane Garofalo on liberal radio network Air America, Howard Stern fulminating against the FCC or Chris Rock calling Bush a liar in an HBO special, political--and often anti-Bush--commentary has replaced "White guys can't dance" jokes as comedy's mainstay. And while Comedy Central's The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, right, professes to be nonpartisan, it has lately become a one-stop source for lacerating criticism of the war in Iraq (or as The Daily Show has called it, the "Mess O' Potamia") and the Administration in general...
...LAUDER traveled tirelessly to local beauty salons, demonstrating the product on women marooned under hair dryers. In 1948, after dogging the store's president, she was granted counter space at Saks Fifth Avenue. When, in the beginning, her advertising budget was meager, she hatched what is today a promotional mainstay in the industry, the "gift with purchase."

...city, and visitors are starting to come back. One big success is Newtown, long the city's theater district and now full of restaurants and other attractions. Access to the area is easier with the opening of the Nelson Mandela Bridge over a number of railway tracks. The mainstay of the district remains Market Theatre, which defied apartheid laws against mixed audiences long before democracy arrived. A police report in 1977 noted with distaste that "the White, Indian, Coloured and Bantu spectators watch the same performances and pay the same ticket price." These days, patrons pay anywhere from...
...Orleans mainstay Trashy Diva originally sold only vintage when it opened its doors in the French Quarter in 1996. The shop added its own two-piece collection--a "charm gown" and a silk-charmeuse flapper coat--in 1999, when it became more difficult to find used designs from the 1920s and '30s in good condition. Today, the store sells mostly its (expanded) Trashy Diva line, with pieces that look as if they might have been plucked from Daisy Buchanan's closet...
