What has been your favorite outfit designed by a contestant on Project Runway? -Rachel Thompson, DallasMay I give two answers? For me-and it's very emotional-it was the winning look from the very first episode of the very first season, when we took the designers to a Gristedes grocery store and Austin Scarlett made a dress out of corn husks. It was the closest to couture as a corn husk in America could possibly get. On the fashion front, it was the collaboration of Christian Soriano and Chris March on Season 4, the avant-garde challenge. That dress...
...tabloids. "Maybe you can tell me," he says, eyes ablaze. "Why is it those magazines never have to be right? Is there no accountability? I mean legally, morally, institutionally?" He claims he never reads them. "I'm not interested in people's personal lives-it depresses me-and I don't want to see references to myself," he says.

"The militarization of intelligence is a real worry," an intelligence expert told me-and Donald Rumsfeld's intense and, according to several sources, continuing covert opposition to the 9/11 intel recommendations only reinforces those fears...
...sense of aloofness has always been a Kerry problem-"You shouldn't hold John's looks against him," former Senator Bob Kerrey once told me-and Dean's chesty informality has only exacerbated Kerry's air of dour Brahmin solemnity. In truth, he isn't so much aloof as he is courtly, in a formal, afternoon-tea sort of way. The shoutathon of modern politics discomforts him. He is a serious, experienced, thoughtful man; his policy speeches have been among the best of any Democrat's. But he is also a cautious man who has surrounded himself with an overstuffed...
