...Bikkembergs' current designs, however, convention is also playing a fast game of footsie with pragmatism. There are indications that the Dirker may be working toward an accommodation with the mainstream. He has recently struck a deal with the established Italian manufacturer GIBO, which handles such successful lines as Jean-Paul Gaultier and Sybilla. Where the Dirker comes down heavy on prankishness, Sybilla tends to the winsome and the ingenious. Her clothes are mostly hand finished and full of little surprises, like tucks that form boxes or a hem that looks to have been pushed up for a hasty jump across...
...secret that John Paul II is a man of strong -- and staunchly conservative -- convictions. Nor is it surprising that he has sought to fill the Roman Catholic hierarchy with clerics who insist on strict obedience to church teachings. In recent months, however, many of the faithful have been alarmed by the Pope's determination to override the sentiments of local clergy in order to get his way. Angry liberals in Vienna and Chur, Switzerland, have even resorted to blocking cathedral entrances to protest the consecration of new, archconservative bishops...
...most recent controversy came to a climax last week, when John Paul triumphed over strong local resistance and appointed Georg Eder, a conservative village priest, as Archbishop of Salzburg, Austria. It was the latest act in a long-running drama. Last month the Pope named an equally unpopular conservative as Archbishop of Cologne, West Germany, Europe's richest diocese. In January 1988 the Pontiff shocked the Irish clergy by picking a conservative metaphysician as Dublin's Archbishop. A few months before that, he had installed a longtime Vatican official as Primate of Brazil, where many bishops condone the leftist liberation...
...John Paul last year pursued this pattern with two important appointments. As Archbishop of Philadelphia, he chose Anthony Bevilacqua, 65, who had handled the ouster of a pro-choice nun in 1983. The see of Pittsburgh went to Donald Wuerl, 48, who had earlier been assigned to keep watch over Seattle's liberal Archbishop Raymond Hunthausen. Resentment over the Hunthausen affair is one cause of mistrust and disagreement between the Vatican and the U.S. hierarchy. In the hope of improving relations, several dozen U.S. bishops will travel to Rome in March for a highly unusual face-to- face meeting with...
Gossip columnist Liz Smith summed it up when she wrote, "Even if Trump is the truest, most flamboyant child of Mammon yet produced at this waning moment of the 20th century, I like his style." New York Times architecture critic Paul Goldberger took a graver view: "He has yet to commission a really serious work of architecture. If he has a style, it is flashiness. It's a malady of the age. Trump just represents it the most." Characteristically, Trump responded by sneering that Goldberger was unqualified to judge his buildings because he wore cheap suits...
