...even better. "All ages with good legs will wear miniskirts," says Bloomingdale's fashion guru Kal Ruttenstein. And Nicole Fischelis, fashion director for Saks Fifth Avenue, says the softer, swishier look is best topped with a tailored jacket, to break up the fluidity of the silhouette. Designers like Jill Stuart prefer a sweater. "A jacket is too hard for this collection," Stuart says. And while the dresses are soft, they're not always simple. A Chinese influence runs through many collections, evident in such touches as embroidery and delicate, frond-like decorations in the fabric. The cool looks could turn...
...world, and a cast of heroes and Founding Fathers to match, it needed icons of both. The test case was George Washington, who died in 1799. Paintings of him were in fairly abundant supply. The record for Washingtons, however, was set by the gifted and profligate Gilbert Stuart (1755-1828) after the President first sat for him in Philadelphia in 1795. Stuart painted at least 114 of them, 111 of them replicas of three originals that he made from life...

Wal-Mart on the city's vast, booming commercial strip, built 18 months ago on what was once a lovely cornfield.

The persistence of a "business as usual attitude" by Switzerland, he told reporters, was "inexplicable." The Swiss do not find that attitude so hard to explain. Foreign Minister Flavio Cotti reminded the U.S. that in 1939, Switzerland was an avowedly neutral country surrounded throughout the war by Axis regimes. On what grounds should it have refused? The report...
...what would later be called the Victorian heaven. Here was the humanistic heaven with a vengeance, calmly convinced of its own literal truth but with a spiritual core seemingly provided by House & Garden. Its strongest proponents were not clergy but a new breed of popular novelists like Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, whose 1868 The Gates Ajar, set in heaven, was a runaway best seller through the end of the century. Wrote Phelps of one celestial interlude: "We stopped before a small and quiet house built of curiously inlaid woods...So exquisite was the carving and coloring, that on a larger scale...
