...newest prime-time star sits in her office, heating a cup of coffee in her microwave oven and fielding compliments from colleagues. One of them, NBC News president Michael Gartner, is in the hall outside her door. "What'd you think?" Jane calls out. "Liked it," says Gartner, a squarish, soft-spoken executive badly in need of some peace and quiet. Pauley senses there might be more on his mind: "You talking about anything . . .?" Gartner saunters toward her and offers one suggestion for the show in a conspiratorial half whisper: "More Jane...
...aura of popular fame such as no other American artist had ever known in his or her lifetime -- a flash-card recognizability that almost rivaled Picasso's. Millions of Americans who could not have picked Jasper Johns or Henri Matisse from a police lineup could identify that pale, squarish, loose-lipped face with its acne, blinking gaze and silvery...
...species was invented in the 1920s, when the automobile turned from novelty to necessity and White Castle sold its first tiny square hamburgers from its tiny squarish outlets.

This summer, what is considered "fashion forward" looks backward. The name of the frame game is "retro," and the chicest styles recall the '50s and early '60s. The hip grandfather of the look is the Ray-Ban Wayfarer. The dark, clunky, squarish shades with a street-tough elegance evoke the likes of Buddy Holly and James Dean, and are as much a talisman of the '50s as white socks and penny loafers. John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd wore them in the movie The Blues Brothers, and in Terms of Endearment Jack Nicholson seemed to have Wayfarers grafted...
