...this analyzing why people looted New York during the blackout is a cover-up for pure and simple greed. After the flood, the mayor of Johnstown, Pa., had the right idea by ordering looters shot...
Ghana's popularity reflects the growing resentment of Hawaii's 8,000 pure-blooded Polynesians and 140,000 citizens of mixed blood. In the land of their ancestors, they are greatly outnumbered by the islands' 720,000 other residents-predominantly Caucasians and Orientals. Barely half of the native Hawaiians have completed high school (v. 72% of the other islanders), most have menial jobs, and their annual income averages just under $10,000, about $1,000 less than that of the state as a whole. Moreover, according to a survey by Alu Like, a cultural organization, native Hawaiians...

In Man and Superman, he simply inverts the boy-meets-girl formula...
...Haute couture is opera. It is dreams and phantoms and magic," says Yves Saint Laurent, the Sun King of fashion. So it was last week at the showings of the French couture collections for autumn: high fashion had indeed become pure theater. Vanished was the sleek, pantsuited look that Saint Laurent himself once institutionalized, and his revolutionary peasant look of last year was transmuted into costumes more sumptuous, more fantastical, more opulent -and more expensive (typically $3,000 to $10,000 per outfit)-than ever before. Romanticism-from Saint Laurent's Oriental visions to Marc Bohan...
