...report on the new decor of the White House closed with the comment that in the President's private family quarters a ''less inviting, don't-touch tidiness'' might soon be ''remedied by time, wear and Socks'' ((THE WHITE HOUSE, Dec. 6)). This prompted Nancy J.D. Harding of McLean, Virginia, to write us about a truly malicious presidential feline: ''One cat before Socks has already distinguished himself in the wreckage department -- Calvin Coolidge's.'' The pet, appropriately named Tiger, wore out his welcome very quickly. ''Evidently Tiger was a real 'Conan the Destroyer' beastie,'' reports Harding. ''His destructive ways cost...
...aspiring heroines, we obliging females, we are only too happy to comply.Speaking of royalty, I’m reminded of a few age-old fairy tales from our childhood—Cinderella and her pumpkin, Snow White and those seven dwarfs, Sleeping Beauty should always wear blue. Who didn’t long for Rapunzel’s long tresses?

"I'm trying to make people curious again," says Arora. That much seems assured. Just try wearing the shoes shown here...
...initial blast?said the first bomb was driven by scooter or rickshaw into Paharganj, a run-down food-and-clothes bazaar containing a handful of backpacker hostels. The second was planted in the Sarojini Nagar market, a ramshackle collection of open-air stalls crammed with knock-off designer wear and cheap plastic knick-knacks. Both areas were favorites of lower-middle-class Indians. And when the devices were detonated, between 5:30 and 6:00 p.m., both places were packed with families of all faiths buying gifts, fireworks and fairy lights on the last shopping day before the Hindu festival...
