...Gore has been preoccupied with writing a book. That's one reason he will be doing a round of quiet lunches and dinners with donors in New York City. His daughter Karenna Gore Schiff is also organizing a $50-a-head event Thursday night at the slightly-past-its-peak night spot...
...home, 9,500 ft. above sea level, is a bright red frame house, with a hummingbird feeder, three or four cats, a chocolate Lab named Charma and a spectacular view of Pikes Peak. Visitors can see the plumes of the Hayman fire from the house, but the property is a model of caution.

There's a golden eagle in the area; a black-bear sow comes and goes so freely it is practically a neighbor. Five times a week...
...Fields has few options. The luxury market is getting ever more crowded as automakers, competing for the business of baby boomers entering their peak buying years, launch a slew of new models.

Families can spend the heat of the afternoon enjoying one of several deluxe...
...glamorize this compilation film, as they do Italian (and every other) cinema. "Voyage" begins with Magnani's death in "Open City" and ends with Cardinale's seraphic smile in "8-1/2." Bergman is at the center of the Rossellini segment, as Vitti is of the Antonioni. The emotional peak of the whole opus is an 18-min. pr?cis of "Senso," whose ravishments are incarnated by Valli's gift for reckless passion glowing through a steely sheath. The most poignant moment in "Voyage" is the last scene from "La Dolce Vita": a girl (14-year-old Valeria Ciangottini), her face...
