...soggy climes certainly have not dampened soaring couture fantasies. John Galliano gave the house of Dior a rocking 60th anniversary salute with an over-the-top high drama collection that included 45 supermodels, each decked out as a vision of an artist who had somehow touched Christian Dior's life and spirit. Linda Evangelista in an evocative deep wine taffeta dress a la Caravaggio. Naomi Campbell inspired by Alma-Tadema. There was a pink confection that looked right out of a Fragonard, Amber Valetta in pale blue, a portrait of Renoir. Each dress more elaborate and evocative than the first...

He seems to have consumed every English-language novel written in the 19th century, and many from the centuries before and after. And somehow he retains it all. He has a memory that's both photographic (enabling him to recall virtually every shot from every film he's seen) and phonographic. On one indelible occasion at the 2002 Floating Film Festival, he and cinematographer Haskell Wexler sang Woody Guthrie's "The Union Maid" - and Roger performed...
...goody bag of financial aid contingent on the country tackling endemic problems like corruption, human-rights violations and environmental degradation. And each year, like ritual, longtime Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen dutifully pledges to clean up the government's act. Alas, also like ritual, little or nothing happens. Yet somehow the entire ceremony repeats itself year after year...
