...daily BZ would headline: berlin is berlin again. Beijing June 19, 1989 One man against an army. The power of the people versus the power of the gun. There he stood, implausibly resolute in his thin white shirt, an unknown Chinese man facing down a lumbering column of tanks. For a moment that will be long remembered, the lone man defined the struggle of China's citizens. "Why are you here?" he shouted at the silent steel hulk. "You have done nothing but create misery.

Tia, in a silvery bolero thrown over a gray cotton tank and white pants, is finishing up a resort collection inspired by Lulamae Barnes, the poor Southern child bride who goes on to become Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Bouquets of spearmint from Fiona's garden adorn drafting tables, and the staff members' afternoon snack consists of cupcakes, iced...
