...want people to see the clothes in says Gianfranco Ferré, whose designs, carefully focused but not fussy, seem to capture an entire geometry of motion. "I believe clothes are living things," insists Claude Montana. Accordingly, his line of racy, kiked-up cycle-slut couture (a leather ensemble can go for as much as $3,000) is presented with some of the most elaborate and amusing theatrics in Paris. Karl Lagerfeld, whose beautifully wrought designs for Chloé, Fendi and Chanel Couture continue to bring the press to its knees, is characteristically canny and bemused. "People have just lost interest...
...time. The place is Trenton, New Jersey, the year 1967, and the locale an ethnically and racially integrated public high school called St. Catherine's. The mood throughout is decidedly adolescent. We meet all the usual denizens of such films: the clique of giggly, somewhat unattractive girls, the class slut who "likes it while [she's] doin' it" but feels shitty afterwards, the overprotective parents--"you need protein, you need fiber..."--the refined lady drama teacher and her prize student, Jill Rosen, the school's smart, pretty girl who heads the drama club and dreams of stardom...

Millie's only gift for truth is the poisonously emasculating one of recounting her adulteries to her husband. Her current affair with a virile and popular teacher (Edmond Genest) carries its own brand of pain; her lover clearly intends to break...
...crucial Scarsdale Letter." That frenzied, ten-page epistle, the emotional centerpiece of the trial, had been sent by Harris to Tarnower the morning of his death. "I have to do something besides shriek with pain," she wrote. She called rival Tryforos "a vicious, adulterous psychotic" and "a thieving slut." Harris described her pain, saying she felt "like discarded trash . . . You keep me in control by threatening me with banishment, an easy threat which you know I couldn't live with." To Bolen, the letter was proof of Harris' pathological jealousy. To Aurnou it was an emotional suicide note...
