...night, Ivy wore a glittery tank (Helmut Lang) with only a single shoulder strap (asymmetrical). Sort of like Andre the Giant when he was a bad guy, only a lot hotter...
Despite the fact that Tenney owns a sewing machine and Leonard owns a shotgun, the two do seem to have similar outlooks and goals. Both are Democrats, both anticipate careers in politics (Tenney in a think tank, Leonard in local office), and both have worked hard to get their message out this week despite being sick...
...Signet pals, I head home to change into proper party attire before the photographer arrives. At the Signet, I went for the simple jeans and T-shirt look, a choice that didn't help my cause.

...Army's AH-64 Apache helicopter gunships into battle over Kosovo showed how quickly cold war weapons can become irrelevant. Slowly, the Army is coming to realize that it may be too cumbersome and too complex for future conflicts. The service is weighing replacing the mammoth 70-ton M1 tank with lighter--perhaps even wheeled--vehicles. It is considering the possibility of cutting production of its $48 billion fleet of nearly 1,300 Comanche helicopters, a program conceived a generation ago to battle the Soviet military. And it is thinking of slashing by more than half its $22 billion purchase...
