...appalled by the intellectual corruption of consumer culture, John Malkovich sure likes clothes. In fact, being John Malkovich begins with the outfit. At an audience with journalists last week in the library of Les Salons France-Ameriques, a Second Empire mansion just off the Champs Elysées, Malkovich held court in a soft four-button suit and shawl-collared sweater, both in muted shades of beige. The ensemble, accessorized by an oversized beige attaché case that looked suspiciously crocodilian, typifies the look Malkovich is aiming for in his upcoming men's clothing line, which he announced in August...
...awkward moment. Sandy Weill, the world's most powerful banker, came face-to-face with Eliot Spitzer, the toughest cop on Wall Street. Both were among the guests at a Sept. 10 lunch hosted by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg at Gracie Mansion. Their exchange was brief.

Worse, following new ethics revelations, virtually every voter knew about Torricelli's woes. Now at the 19th century mansion, the beleaguered Senator raised withdrawal as a way to keep his seat-and the Senate-in Democratic hands. It's impossible to know Torricelli's motives. Was it for the party's sake or did he think another shoe would drop? Whatever the reasons, no decision was made as Torricelli...
...lock on this year's election for Maryland Governor. When Townsend's aunt Eunice Kennedy Shriver threw her a $10-a-head fund raiser last year, traffic backed up for more than a mile, as 5,000 people clamored for an afternoon of Kennedy glamour. And the Governor's mansion was seen as a way station: it was just a matter of time, the pundits were saying, until Bobby Kennedy's eldest landed a spot on a national ticket...
