...store musicals. Twenty smackers will cover a new hairdo for your doll at the store's salon. But if you want to buy a doll, you'll have to shell out four times that. Despite such hefty prices, the three-story doll emporium that opened in midtown Manhattan last month is mobbed. So too is Chicago's five-year-old American Girl Place, which ranks as the Magnificent Mile's top-grossing store. Many of its visitors have no doubt come planning only to browse but end up leaving--as Karen Cardinal, 37, of San Francisco did last week--with...
...Gotta Give, which opens on Dec. 12, reads like an attempt to completely dismantle his public persona: he spends the first half of the movie playing directly to type and the second half dead set against it. Nicholson plays Harry Sanborn, 63, a rich, unmarried and devilishly charming Manhattan businessman who dates only women under 30. One weekend Harry scampers off with his girlfriend--played by the lively Amanda Peet (in reality, an over-the-hill 31)--to her mother's beach house, only to keel over with a heart attack as soon as the fun starts.

Her labor, and scholarship money, enabled Dash to attend Dwight, a prestigious Manhattan prep school, and later a Connecticut boarding school. "I was around kids that had country houses and cooks and maids and stuff like that," he says, "and I didn't think anyone was that much better than me. I was like, Why shouldn't I have that stuff...
...small theater on one end and a gallery at the other—are visually untethered and threaten to take flight like a bird. While the form is striking, the actual spaces seem less than ideal. Reminiscent of Dutch architect-celebrity Rem Koolhaas’ Second Stage Theatre in Manhattan, the stage’s proscenium is replaced by a giant window that overlooks the street below and doubles as a film screen. Similarly, it becomes clear that Maltzan’s museums are not places that are ideally suited to housing art exhibits—they emphasize horizontal rather...
