Mehdi Savalli eschews the rituals that bullfighters typically use to ward off gorings and other misfortunes. He doesn't pray to the Virgen de la Estrella; he doesn't stand in front of a homemade shrine of religious prints when he slips on his traje de luces, the ornate, sequined costume worn by matadors; he doesn't cross himself before he steps into the ring. But these breaches of bullfighting tradition have not kept him from becoming one of Spain's most promising young toreros. Two Sundays ago, he was again demonstrating the skills that have earned the 20-year...

Hab?a trabajado duramente a?os ?con Donna Karan en Anne Klein, como dise?ador adjunto en Calvin Klein y como dise?ador de la marca Cerruti en Par?s, cuando su amiga Carolyn Bessette le pidi? que dise?ara su traje de novia.

CASTELLON DE LA PLANA, Spain: Basta, already.

...great fun, and, to prove the point, Jackie decided to stay an extra day before departing for Madrid and thence to the U.S. "To visit Seville and not ride horseback at the fair is equal to not coming at all," she declared. Whereupon, donning the traditional traje corto (black-trimmed red jacket, flowing chaps, flat broad-brimmed hat), she mounted a white horse and made a leisurely paseo of the fair. "I don't know what I'm doing," Jackie laughed, belying her superb equipoise, "but it's very exciting." She rode for a full half-hour...
