...industry has a poster boy, it's Reiji, a career host and owner of Player's Club Dios. Parked on a rear banquette, Reiji surveys his kingdom in a pin-striped, three-piece Gianfranco Ferre suit and rimless spectacles, looking like a dashing young CEO?which, in fact, he is. Reiji's two host bars gross $8 million a year and he's planning a chain of clubs and restaurants. He has authored two books aimed at businessmen and speaks at universities and to corporations. "I am called the 'King of Hosts,'" he says, "but the reason they want...
...only as important as the person who insults you," said Peggy Yunque after the infamous Mr. Blackwell chastised Hillary Rodham Clinton for wearing the same lapel pin (designed by Peggy) every day during the 1992 campaign.

Machismo, the accompanying EP, provides perhaps a better picture of Gomez in a nutshell, with its dance-like title track, the darker ballad "Do's and Don't's" and "Touchin' Up," a track almost Caribbean in its coolness. But while there are some absolutely amazing songs...
Carol Roberts, 64, is an avid collector of stuffed and ceramic penguins and donkeys. Subtlety has never been her style in decor--or in politics. Last week the former Democratic mayor of West Palm Beach used her spitfire stratagems to boost Al Gore. Wearing a tiny butterfly pin to mock the infamous ballot, she faced the cameras and vowed to count every last vote. Why wait for court approval? Why should the battle for the Constitution wait for a judge? "What happens? Do we go to jail?" she asked the lawyer for the board of canvassers. "Because I'm ready...
