Like anyone newly famous, Lacroix is making adjustments, not all of them pleasant. On the bright side, he has assembled an exceptionally warm, cohesive staff. Some observers suggest that Picart is moving too quickly, that the house may have problems delivering on its copious orders. However, the first luxe collection is arriving in stores on time or ahead of schedule. A potentially more serious worry is Picart's contract with Agache President Bernard Arnault, whose expertise is in the real estate business and who may want a return on his $8 million investment unrealistically soon...

...That's good. But consumer spending is decelerating. That's bad. The value of the dollar falls abroad. Good. More countries are becoming industrial giants. Bad. All of industry these days talks like an executive fitness center, in terms of slimming down and wising up. The brayings of protectionists suggest that the onetime home of swaggering competitiveness is beginning to see itself as a large island fort, and even if the protectionist mentality fails to carry the day (as it ought to fail), one rarely hears the opposite talk that the best...

Cooler-headed critics -- and fans -- suggest that the best ( method of evaluating what he or any other educator has done is to look at the achievements of his students.

While math scores are up 6% during Clark's reign, reading scores have barely budged: they remain in the bottom third of the nation's high school...

...Miller's controversial reputation would suggest, they will probably be classics with a twist. He has reset an Italian opera in gangster territory, for example, and reimagined O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night as caustic tragicomedy rather than lugubrious apocalypse. Andromache is the first offering of a seven-play season, of which Miller will direct five. With characteristic confidence in his polymathic perversity, he has assigned himself an absurdist British comedy, N.F. Simpson's One Way Pendulum; a Jacobean tragedy, Bussy D'Ambois; a Leonard Bernstein musical, Candide, which Miller says "will have more flavor...

...political fortunes of the Democrats, particularly those who were willing to talk sense about budget problems. There are, in fact, continued signs that rocky waters lie ahead, most notably last week's report that housing starts in December tumbled by a startling 16%. Yet most recent economic forecasts suggest that the economy may somehow muddle along until at least November. And that means good news for the Republican nominee, whoever...
