...mascots and blackboards, halos and bongs. Palace vets amass hoards of props and trade them like baseball cards. Sites on the indispensable A-to-Z List of active palaces blare come-ons like HUGE PROP MALL! Collect enough props and build a cool palace, and you can stage a runway show in your own private Versailles. "Vanity pages built the Web," says Randy Farmer, co-founder of Electric Communities, the company that bought the Palace earlier this year and is behind its latest resurgence. "And vanity servers will build the visual communities...
...about his relationship with Monica Lewinsky. Layered over a throbbing techno beat, the President could be heard intoning, "What I'm just trying to do is contain my natural impulses and get back to work," as models wearing revealing slip dresses, camisoles and low-cut blouses sashayed down the runway. Later in the show, which she dedicated to her mother Linda, McCartney returned to a more traditional sound track with a rendition of Hey Jude. Asked after the show how she would clothe Lewinsky, McCartney replied, "Probably in a dress, and preferably one that had been dry-cleaned...

His ability to work the media is legendary, but today false reports have gone back to Washington that his convoy has been shot at, and he has held an official meeting with the K.L.A., which would infuriate Milosevic. Standing on the runway, Holbrooke phones State Department spokesman James Rubin, catching him just before the daily briefing. The meeting with K.L.A. rebels was a "complete setup," Holbrooke insists, not an official meeting. Sending a cable home, Holbrooke likens the entire province to "the Wild West." Either side could start a war, he adds, "through miscalculation...
