...room studio apartment is filled with contrasts, much like the man himself. The charcoal walls are covered neatly with contemporary art, lithographs by Rouault and Picasso, several Warhols. An unmade bed, the black velour cover twisted on top, sits low in the corner of the room. The modern glass tables are stacked with art books. There is a small balcony off the eleventh-floor studio, but Jordan is afraid to step out. He fears heights. When one of his girlfriends wants to sit outside, Jordan will sometimes edge onto the balcony, pressing against the wall, and sit nervously with...

Jordan slid his red canvas chair next to Carter and handed over one of the books, reading along with him so closely that his head was almost touching Carter...
...most influential women's trousers for the fall. And not just for lounging around after skiing, either. Says Deedee Alexander, a buyer for Manhattan's trendy Henri Bendel: "There are some dressy suits that can be worn to the theater. We have them in black and strawberry velour just for that." The summer Olympic Games will give the warmup suit free saturation promotion on television. After the Chanel suit and Gucci loafers, it may just be the next elite uniform to take...
