...Ulysses is published. So is T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land. Some claim it is a hoax, a parody of modernism's obscurantist tendencies. Others see its analogies to Joyce's work.

...with a daring plunge on the cover of the latest Harper's Bazaar. The dress has been making the party rounds as well. A newly brunette GWYNETH PALTROW wore it to a gala for the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute, and Heather Locklear had one made in pink to wear as host of the VH1 Fashion Awards. Befitting its stature, the dress has garnered its own urban legend: a sample was allegedly abducted en route from Gucci to the manufacturers.
