...outfits, the collection seemed meager (Lagerfeld produced 84). Perhaps Galliano is simply a rigorous editor, but the kind of exhilarating riffs that Saint Laurent and Lagerfeld can spin out--six or eight variations on a theme--were missing. Least satisfactory was a foray into blatant color for evening. Harsh chartreuse-green silk spoiled a group of prettily shaped party dresses. Deep orange costumes suggesting India were more effective, but does one go to Paris for a sari...
...world of slow learners, he takes teacher Glenn Holland through three decades of Americana, from Vietnam to 1995. Holland has a wife (Glenne Headly), a deaf son and, it turns out, a vocation for helping the young understand themselves through music. He becomes their drill sergeant, father confessor, patron saint. As the years pass, his students follow their stars while he, a frustrated composer, pours his ambition into them. It's the ambitious teacher's tragedy: your kids move on, you stay...
...some 2,000 retired generals, admirals and other officers on call, it is making a fair claim. Among its most prominent executives are retired four-star General Carl Vuono, who ran the Army during Desert Storm and now heads the company's growing overseas business, and Crosbie ("Butch") Saint, who was once the chief of the Army's operations in Europe and who oversees MPRI's work there. This is the outfit that the U.S. will probably turn to for help in Bosnia...

Other U.S. military men say whatever MPRI did for the Croats--and many suspect more than classroom instruction was involved--it was worth every penny. "Carl Vuono and Butch Saint are hired guns and in it for the money," says Charles Boyd, a recently retired four-star Air Force general who was the Pentagon's No. 2 man in Europe until July. "They did a very good job for the Croats, and I have no doubt they'll do a good...
...WOMAN SHOWS GO, UTAH CONGRESSWOMAN Enid Waldholtz's five-hour press conference last week will be hard to top. She borrowed heavily from past performers--Richard Nixon (my mother was "a saint"), Mayor Marion Barry (the "bitch set me up") and Senator Bob Packwood ("I was a binge drinker")--and fashioned her own revue. Her wealthy father, "the finest man I know," inconveniently remembers the $2 million that went to her 1994 campaign as a loan (there is a $1,000 limit), but that's because his memory is not so good. Anyone would have been fooled by Joe Waldholtz...
