...helps that women now shop for cosmetics differently. "Young women loathe department stores--the whole system of waiting at the counter, having to get someone's attention," says Charla Krupp, an editor at Glamour magazine. Today's consumers prefer to grab a lipstick at Victoria's Secret or a boutique store, or to shop online. Nearly 25 new cosmetics websites have been launched this fall. Even the mass-market retailers are taking their cue from the indies. Sears has just introduced T.i.m.e. (The Instant Makeup Expert), a $20 color-coordinated kit; and Target is relying on Sonia Kashuk, Cindy Crawford...
Though he maintains his role as a Pepperdine law professor, an author of 17 books and a contributor to Slate, The American Spectator and the Washington Post, the smartest man on basic cable is most animated when talking about Hollywood and its beautiful women. Perhaps Stein's oddest avocation is being a financial guru to hookers. "Aside from practicing pimps, nobody knows as many call girls as I do," he says.

Other health systems have found creative solutions to accommodate both women's health needs and the church's position--through an independent provider or separate funding source. Without practical alternatives, women across America could be left without the affordable reproductive health care that is the most basic to women during their child-bearing years. ALEXANDER C. SANGER, PRESIDENT Planned Parenthood New York City...
...snaps, "She hasn't done her homework." The city, he points out, is about to embark on projects, including an airport expansion, that may generate $10 billion in contracts over the next five years. Under the existing program, nearly $4 billion would flow to companies owned by minorities and women. Adopting a local-preferences program would not assure the same level of business for minority firms, he argues, because national companies could easily qualify by setting up Atlanta-based subsidiaries. Campbell says he is prepared to use "any means necessary" to protect the program in its current form--not only...
