...Green, the billionaire owner of the Arcadia Group, which controls a clutch of U.K. clothing chains like Miss Selfridge and Wallis, is watching a spot about the latest fashion collection to hit Topshop, the jewel in Arcadia's crown. The much-ballyhooed line inspired by Kate Moss - the supermodel's own wardrobe formed the basis of the designs - went on sale the previous night at the chain's flagship store in London. Basking in the nonstop Moss-fueled coverage, Green can't help but smile: "You couldn't dream for a better start," he says...
Novelists just can't seem to keep their ink-stained mitts off the Sept. 11 attacks, can they? Those senseless acts cry out for a powerful, sense-making fictional narrative, but nobody seems to be able to give them one. The latest to miss the mark is perennial top seed DeLillo, above right, whose Falling Man is about a lawyer who escapes the Twin Towers, wanders uptown in a daze and moves in with his estranged wife.

...Rather than remember and reconcile, the Putin regime doesn't miss a chance to abuse the sacred May 9 anniversary as a part of a wider campaign to fan nationalist hysteria in Russia ahead of December's parliamentary elections, and the Presidential poll scheduled for next March. Just as in Soviet times, there's nothing like the specter of an external enemy, either to make the people accept that they don't change horses in midstream and let Putin stay - or to pave the way for someone way harsher than Putin. A strong hand to keep the country together. Just...
