...main characters seem to be Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin), an ordinary guy who on a hunting trip discovers a lot of money surrounded by a lot of dead bodies, and Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem), a tough hombre who wants the money back. "Tough," actually, doesn't do justice to this deadpan psycho whose weapon of choice is a pneumatic air-gun. He's a resourceful creature - when apprehended he uses his handcuffs to strangle a cop - and a memorable sickie...
Thank you for the TIME 100. It's striking to see that women represent 51% of the population but only 29% of the TIME 100. It is a shame that you chose to recognize Kate Moss, an anorexic drug user, with whom no mother would want her daughter to identify. Conductor Marin Alsop, music director-- designate of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, would have made a much better and healthier role model...
...After the banquet of feelings in Follies, the Encores! version of the 1932 Face the Music was a minty palate-cleanser. A topical revue by the young Moss Hart (then 27) and the veteran Irving Berlin (43; he'd live to 101), it has one hit song, "Let's Have Another Cup of Coffee," and lots of impudent attitude, which the revival nicely preserved under John Rando's direction.

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...
...Moss's new line is only the latest in Topshop's recent successes among "fast-fashion" retailers, which specialize in almost constantly updating collections of cool clothing at prices so low the clothes are almost disposable. Over the past nine years, Topshop has carved an enviable niche atop this hypercompetitive sector in Britain by appealing to a broader demographic than its competitors, by getting its new designs quickly to market and - in a category where inexpensive too often equals cheap - by emphasizing quality. Topshop's combination of fashion and value has "changed the way we dress," says Lauretta Roberts, editor...
