...brought jazz to Carnegie Hall, confirming its status as an art form. Long before he died of an apparent heart attack in New York City last week, at 77, Goodman's place in jazz-- and American history--had been assured. His men called him the Professor, and with his rimless glasses and his % apple-cheeked visage, he might have passed for an academic. Until, that is, he picked up the clarinet.

The classic Ray-Ban Aviator is tipped to make a big comeback, while die-hard fashionistas will flip over multilayered lenses, allowing tone-on-tone coloring. Be seen at the poolside in nothing less...
...born Ghosn is widely admired for his revival of Nissan. Lately he's a fashion role model for Japanese executives. The stocky, thin-haired CEO doesn't look like GQ material. But profiles in Japanese media have focused as much on his dark, stylishly tailored suits, colorful ties and rimless eyewear as on his management skills. Masakatsu Ochiai, a Tokyo fashion writer, says traditionally staid Japanese businessmen think that "if they can dress like Ghosn, they will be like...
