...about 25% of what Ed Rollins said about me in your excerpt of his book is true, and that's about par for his course. The true part is that I was indeed squeezed out as editor of the Chicago Tribune and that I thought Rollins was a complete misfit in the 1992 Ross Perot presidential campaign. It is untrue that I ever undermined Rollins or Perot aide Hamilton Jordan in any fashion, that I ever said one critical word about advertising consultant Hal Riney or that I ever leaked information about Rollins, Riney or anyone else during the campaign...
...couture establishment has had contradictory expectations for Galliano: he is seen on one hand as the man who would lead luxe into the 21st century and on the other as a misfit who could never measure up to exalted French standards. Last week's collection indicated strongly that Galliano belongs right where he is, but it was also uneven, the work of someone still learning a new game. The headliners were huge ball gowns, several of them striped in muted colors. Those who expected him to trash Givenchy's history were wrong. Among daytime clothes were several homages...
MUSICIANS HATE TO BE CATEGOrized, but few actually have the courage to defy labels that have been assigned to them--after all, it's hard to sell records if people don't know what they're buying.

The son of a British mother and a Jamaican father, the deejay and producer has established himself as an underground star in England's insurgent "Jungle" scene--a musical form featuring resonant bass lines and expressive, sometimes relentless percussion. Goldie's new CD, "Timeless," is a challenge to the boundaries of this still nascent music, notes TIME's Christopher John Farley. "Mixing elements of techno, jazz and soothing ambient music, Goldie's compositions defiantly slip the grasp of any one genre and instead slide back and forth between high-energy passages that make you want...
...Supreme Truth. The sect, which started as a yoga school, focuses on the apocalypse to come-perhaps as soon as 1997. Its members insist it merely practices a form of Buddhism; but in reality it is a cult revolving around a long-haired, charismatic mystic, Shoko Asahara, a magnetic misfit who preaches that government efforts to obliterate his movement will coincide with the beginning of the end of the world. Throughout the week, the hidden guru pleaded his innocence via radio broadcast and videotape, then vanished, leaving behind three luxury cars in a Tokyo hotel parking...
