...nearer term, the company is moving aggressively in markets that are closely linked to its existing business. Its new Microsoft Home division, for example, is an attempt to leverage its position in the market for business desktops, which is becoming saturated, and move into the so-called SOHO (small office, home office) market, which is growing at an estimated 20% a year. Microsoft has begun advancing on Lotus by adding Notes-like groupware features to Windows 95 and Windows NT. And pursuing what may be its most important source of revenue in the next few years, Microsoft continues to work...
...last week for hounding TODD OLDHAM, famous mostly for providing the world with sequined evening gowns and loud shirts. The designer (and MTV House of Style regular) alleges that Shane Kennedy, 28, has harassed Oldham and his staff for six months, on one occasion refusing to leave Oldham's SoHo store.

Kidd's opinions pale in comparison, though, to that of a more vicious Southern student who requested...
...drama about a girl whose past was severed as though cut by a knife. "England is quite tolerant in many ways," Samuels notes, "but when aliens try to retain their differences, there is not much tolerance." Her play, now in New York City after its premiere at London's Soho Theatre Company, takes place in an attic, where a middle-age woman sorting through her belongings reluctantly confronts who she had once been. As a nine-year-old named Eva Schlesinger, she says a last farewell to her German mother. Brought up by a good-hearted Englishwoman, young Eva clings...
