...Brentwood mansion they came: a sacked juror, a jailbird lawyer and assorted other apostles of O.J. SIMPSON, all for a black-tie dinner to oppose domestic violence and, not least, to rub elbows with the Juice. With security provided by the Nation of Islam, the night was one of image repair for America's most dubiously innocent man. Attorney F. Lee Bailey, fresh from the slammer, pronounced his own jail stay "not so great." Simpson pal and chauffeur A.C. Cowlings seemed proud when a guest praised his driving. Outside Simpson's gates protesters clamored, but inside, Simpson charmed the antiviolence...

But singing star or no, Estefan, a 38-year-old mother of two, still has the unused portion of her round-trip ticket from Havana to Miami.

He does not know his own eventual fate since being tossed into "a game of political football by opponents of change and right-wing extremists," he says. But he is eager to talk down his White House ties. Though he sat at Clinton's table during a fund raiser as recently as May and has enjoyed at least one breakfast meeting with the First Lady, Coia insists he was never really...
...driven performer, Wachner, 50, rose from a bra-and-girdle buyer at Macy's to head cosmetics giant Max Factor. In 1986 she masterminded a hostile buyout at Warnaco and took the company public in 1991. As a mogul, she helicopters from her Park Avenue headquarters to a mansion in the Hamptons, New York's summer-resort community. As a manager, Wachner once made a FORTUNE roster of "Toughest Bosses" for her low tolerance for underperformers. "You'd better start firing people," the magazine quoted her telling a newly arrived executive, "so they'll understand you're serious...
