Haute-couture week used to be fashion's time-out. The pace was leisurely, leaving lots of opportunities for the ladies who lunch to get plenty to eat. The clothes were elegant, the kind of things one wears to the Paris Ritz, darling. The salons were small and intimate, the better to see the craftsmanship. But the gradual rotation of the old guard (out last season, Yves Saint Laurent; out this season, Oscar de la Renta at the house of Pierre Balmain) to the new (first John Galliano at Christian Dior, most recently Julien Macdonald at Givenchy) has transformed...

Who says these guys aren't a real band...

And while that may leave Yasser Arafat in a state of consternation, it's just fine with most Israelis, who no longer trust the Palestinian leader. But the tactical options facing Sharon's government in dealing with the ongoing intifada are limited. Its ability to raise the level of violence used by its soldiers on the ground is limited by international and regional diplomatic considerations...
