Safina has one of those effortlessly synthetic minds that range almost as far afield as his beloved birds do, from vulcanology to population biology to the history of Pacific exploration, alighting to sketch thumbnail portraits of the curious characters who study seabirds. But none of them are as memorable as his protagonist: "An albatross is a great symphony of flesh, perception, bone, and feathers," Safina writes, "composed of long movements and set to ever-changing rhythms of light, wind, water...
...ankle caused audible gasps in the audience. The clothes were packed with Galliano's notoriously wide-ranging references - from punk to pregnant Kate Moss to Marilyn Monroe (a New York city-sidewalk grate blew air up from below to recreate the Marilyn effect). Before putting pen to sketch pad, Julien Macdonald had a long conversation with Bernard Arnault, chairman of LVMH, and Yves Carcelle, the man in charge of its fashion brands.

In addition, TIME has learned, authorities arrested three Moroccan women as possible accomplices: Tbaiti's wife Bahija Haidour, his sister-in-law Houria Haidour...
...Toback, if you’re reading, here’s the basic sketch I’ve outlined for Crimson Man. Martin Bell (played by Martin Bell) is a senior who writes sports for the Crimson. He lives a charmed life—dates another sportswriter (Tyra Banks, in her best role since Coyote Ugly) and occasionally works on his thesis. But he finds himself on the wrong side of the law when a Harvard athlete’s father and known gangster (The Sopranos’ James Gandolfini) threatens to kill him unless his son (James Franco, Spider...
