After a disastrous week, the cast and crew of the Harvard-Radcliffe Dramatic Club's "The Memorandum" at the Loeb Experimental Theater said they blame the "Scottish Curse" for the three cast members taken to the hospital with injuries sustained...
...Monica's makeover take? After hours of interviews and nearly 300 pages from Princess Diana's own scribe, have we learned to love her--or even like her? It seems not. A TIME/CNN poll taken the day after her Walters appearance found that 72% of those interviewed still have a generally unfavorable impression of her, down just slightly from a high of 78% in September, shortly after the unflattering Starr report was released. Only 15% of us think well...
...going. And Polo's haven't been going in the preferred direction. Polo's net income has been down two of the past three quarters, and this year earnings growth is projected at an anemic 4.2%, well below 1998's sizzling 35%. The stock has had its price taken in, from the high of $33 to last week's $21, during which time the market has increased 35%. That has cost Lauren some $500 million in net worth; he still owns 43% of the company...
...more ambitious is RLX, an extreme-sportswear brand for mountain bikers, runners and snowboarders. The brightly colored technical gear is a departure from the subtle tweeds and twills of Polo's yore. Lauren has taken great pains to establish RLX's credibility.

"Lame," critiques snowboarder Dave...
...catch the bogus tickets. But last week British Airlines--one airline that does scan--caught a man who was flying from Miami to London and trying to get a $26,000 refund for seven tickets. A scan revealed that four were stolen, part of a batch of 24,000 taken from Hudson Holidays in Elmwood Park, Ill., in December 1996. "It adds money laundering to the list of crimes the stolen tickets are being used for," says Little...
