...these things as cool today as they were the year they were created. When Coco Chanel--above, circa 1926--died in 1971, her classic tweed jacket could have died too. She herself had kept the look alive for more than five decades. How much longer a life did a thousand-dollar jacket deserve? Ask Karl Lagerfeld. In the 20 years he has been designing the label, he has reinvented the jacket for society women and rap stars alike. TIME's Lauren Goldstein presents the evolution of a classic...

...tabloid the next day. Not that she's the subject of much juicy gossip; the affair with Johnny Depp is long over, and her runway days are currently on hold. But the tiny model, who was discovered in an airport lounge at 14 and went on to launch a thousand waif looks, continues to inspire designers, fashion photographers and even artists. There isn't a stylish woman out there--from Cameron Diaz to Paris Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld--who wouldn't kill to raid Moss's closet...

Each stack of spruce or maple...

Unfortunately, the insanity of the situation on the ground is matched--and perhaps exacerbated--by the diplomatic dithering over how to bring the war to an end. Almost every day, it seems, Liberia's neighbors hold another planning meeting in Senegal and pledge to send in several thousand peacekeeping troops, only to put off decisions on the specifics of the mission for a few more days. The Bush Administration says the Africans must take the lead in any such operation and that President Taylor must go into exile before U.S. troops will play any role. But Taylor insists he will...

...many songs do you have to have in that folder to catch the eye of the music police? A thousand? A dozen? Just one? RIAA, which is trying to put the fear of litigation into as many music pirates as it can, is playing coy. It has declined to say whom it is targeting or how many more subpoenas it plans to issue. So far, though, most of the file sharers it has gone after were dealing in hundreds of tracks, not just a few. "We're focused on the supply side," RIAA president Cary Sherman says...
