Elusive, but fascinating. The creator of such enchantingly lyrical and devastatingly sensual works as My Mother's House and Cheri was a mentor to many but a horror to her own daughter. At great risk to her reputation, she performed half-naked on the stage and had open lesbian relationships, yet believed that feminists deserved "the whip and the harem." She found her most secure love with her third husband, Maurice Goudeket, a man 17 years her junior who was a Jew, yet she was an anti-Semite and in the Nazi-occupied France of World War II displayed what...
...Rage Against the Machine is doing much the same thing in music. Rock is going through a period of heaviness. Bands are getting louder, lyrics more aggressive; voices are growling. Rock-hop acts helped open the door for a more in-your-face sound; now straight-ahead rock acts are pouring through.

...furious pace. European companies are beginning to grasp that if they don't act quickly, U.S. brands could soon completely overrun their markets with new waves of licensed goods. Even a pioneer like Coca-Cola, which has been licensing in Europe since 1986, views the continent as wide-open territory. "We feel like we've only scratched the surface in Europe," says Coke spokeswoman Susan McDermott. Equity Management, the largest U.S. licensing agency, which handles licensing chores that include research, legal work and quality control for its client corporations, gives some measure of the new American interest in landing...
