...Hill, the West Coast label that has become synonymous with the new style, last year grossed $25 million. In a hard-driving business, Windham Hill's success is anomalous, for the label is rarely heard on the radio, and it advertises only occasionally. Instead, it relies on word of mouth among its target audience of young white professionals. It must be doing something right: Pianist George Winston, perhaps the best known of its largely faceless roster, has been on Billboard's Top 40 jazz chart a total of 184 weeks with his album December, a user-friendly amalgam of Bach...
...Vice President George Bush sat down last week with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was an urgent request that the U.S. help alleviate Egypt's burgeoning economic problems.

According to police, Cesario ran a highly sophisticated operation out of a town near the port of Itajai. The region has a large population of German descent, which accounts for the abundance of light-skinned infants. Police claim that about 60 people worked for him, including doctors, nurses, baby- sitters...
...romance was sparked not by a sudden glance or even a heartfelt declaration but, well, by a profiterole actually. The cupid's confection came into play at Ascot last year, when a boisterous Andrew put his arm around Fergie and tried to stuff the cream-filled cake into her mouth. The girl who last week vowed to obey him winged the pastry back at his royal person...
