...boutique store, or to shop online. Nearly 25 new cosmetics websites have been launched this fall. Even the mass-market retailers are taking their cue from the indies. Sears has just introduced T.i.m.e. (The Instant Makeup Expert), a $20 color-coordinated kit; and Target is relying on Sonia Kashuk, Cindy Crawford's makeup artist, for cachet. At the other end of the market, Terry de Gunzburg, a French makeup artist, offers $76 lipsticks and compacts...
...resounding endorsement of coalition politics," says TIME New Delhi correspondent Maseeh Rahman. "With a 15- or 20-seat majority, Vajpayee?s government can once again be held to ransom by smaller parties with narrow agendas."

But unlike her predecessors, she may have to cut her political teeth in opposition rather than in power...
...Sonia, however, is no pioneer of spousal succession. Corazon Aquino and Violeta Chamorro, both widows of assassinated opposition leaders, became Presidents, respectively, of the Philippines and Nicaragua. They did not, however, get there by default. They ascended by courageously making themselves the rallying point of a revolution. The one who did ascend for no other discernible reason than having shared the great one's bed is one Mrs. Peron of Argentina. Not Evita, who became a saint after her death but never actually ruled--no, the sorriest modern case of rule by consort is Peron's third wife, Isabel...
