...says he was a slave to the Martha aesthetic until he realized that in addition to running a restaurant, he was working as the unpaid stylist of his life. The 37-year-old "cured" himself by "deconstructing the notion of the American Dream home." He and his wife, a chef, sold their home and restaurant in Michigan and moved to Maine, where Ho founded Rescue magazine. After two issues, Rescue has a circulation of 45,000, indicating that there are others like him. He says his current abode does not resemble a tear sheet from a shelter magazine...

...ensuring that should Heydar die or become incapacitated, Ilham can take over as acting President. And as a Russian IL-62 flying hospital rushed Aliyev from Turkey to the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio on Aug. 7, the Azeri cabinet agreed to allow its new Prime Minister to take an unpaid vacation so that he could campaign for the presidency. Both Aliyevs are on the ballot for the election, scheduled for Oct. 15. Aliyev's succession plan, notes a longtime observer of the Caucasus, "depended on the old man being around for a couple more years to pull the strings...
