...Karsh's artistry, some 80 prints, is currently on view at the International Center of Photography in Manhattan, which is displaying his work in conjunction with the publication of Karsh: A Fifty-Year Retrospective. The book ranges from his classic picture of Winston Churchill, which became a symbol of British resistance during World War II, to a recent photo of Italy's leading lady. "When an actress has the intelligence and professionalism as well as the beauty of Sophia Loren," says Karsh, "photographing her becomes a highly enjoyable collaboration...

The P.O. was also a social spot, where neighbors met to gossip and hear the news. That tradition has been gloriously and ingeniously revived in Washington's Old Post Office, halfway between the White House and the Capitol on Pennsylvania Avenue. Once an embarrassing derelict, the ten-story, 1899 Romanesque wedding cake of Maine granite has been lovingly rehabilitated as a lively market and office place...
