...production on So Damn Happy is modern, minimalist and first-rate. Franklin has always had a great ear for contemporary music, which is why she has appeared in the Top 10 recently and James Brown hasn't. She gets Mary J. Blige to contribute some fine backing vocals and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis to offer up a nice song and--presto!--Aretha is radio-ready. It doesn't take much to make the timeless timely...

"I want you to be able to read the story of the place," Adjaye says...
Three and a half years ago, minimalist designer Jil Sander stormed out of her fashion house after taking umbrage at the dictatorial ways of Prada CEO Patrizio Bertelli, who bought her company in 1999. In May, four months after her noncompete clause expired, Sander returned to the fashion house she founded when she was just 24. With sales at Jil Sander flat in 2002, it was good news for Bertelli.
