...wearing a Tiffany diamond-ribbon necklace. But this was no ordinary diamanté-its[an error occurred while processing this directive] centrepiece was the 128.54-carat Tiffany Diamond, one of the largest yellow diamonds in the world. The gem, since reset in a brooch known as "Bird on a Rock," pictured, is itself now one of the biggest stars in "Bejewelled by Tiffany, 1837-1987." The exhibition-at the Gilbert Collection, Somerset House in London until Nov.26 and expected to travel to China and Japan later this year-traces the irresistible rise of Tiffany & Co. from its inception...

...fact, this may be the best time in 40 years to go work for Uncle Sam. For once, you might be able to advance rapidly, due to the vacuum at the top. Job security is rock solid, and the average salary is $62,000. They often pay your way through college or forgive your school loans. These jobs are in every state - only 1 in 6 is in the Washington, D.C., area. And despite what you might imagine, federal workers are very proud of the contribution they make to society. In a poll, 91% believed they do important work...
