...closely as any other journalist. I never saw Kennedy emotionally or physically impaired for any great length of time or at any important moment. The medical treatment I witnessed seemed reasonable for a man who had suffered so many years of discomfort. But Dallek's idea that Kennedy overcame pain and his faltering system through nonstop, heroic willpower and feverish pill popping is surely exaggerated. In his public appearances, Kennedy was nearly always working hard and displaying genuine good humor, a far cry from Dallek's image of a constantly pain-ridden biochemical...
...knew Kennedy had a fragile physical side and was often in pain. On board the Caroline and other chartered planes, I saw him take plenty of pills. But I was never alarmed. I knew of his many youthful illnesses and how he had twice received last rites in his young life, even though the public was not fully aware of that history. But he kept his spirits up. Once, flying late at night in a small plane from Milwaukee, Wis., to Seattle, I watched Kennedy's pill routine and then stretched out on the cramped cabin floor for some sleep...

Ten years ago, Under Cover consisted of a single store the size of a one-car garage in the backstreets of Tokyo's trendy Harajuku area. Today, it's a fashion empire stretching from Hokkaido to Kyushu. Takahashi has won just about every fashion award Japan can offer (last year he captured the prestigious Mainichi prize normally reserved for establishment figures like Issey Miyake and Junya Watanabe). Across the country, his fans faithfully line up outside his 31 boutiques, eager for the opportunity to buy a $2,500 dress...
...ways?and infuses it with a sense of violence. Jackets and pants are ripped to shreds, then stitched with loose red thread left dangling in a manner that suggests blood. Shirtsleeves are amputated and re-attached the way a wound would be sutured. The aesthetic nexus between beauty and pain obsesses Takahashi, and the collection is as viciously elegant as a pinned butterfly. "The essence of Takahashi's creations is maniacal," says Kazz Yamamuro, executive producer of Fashion Television Japan, "and very cutting edge." Takahashi's detractors disagree. They insist he's more of a fashion DJ, sampling patterns...
