...grand balls, fetes and blowouts that Philip Baloun orchestrated for the rich, famous and socially stratospheric. Baloun, who attended the American Floral Arts School in Chicago while still a teenager, moved to New York City in 1976 to be a theater director. But instead of working on Broadway, he wound up creating glittering theatrical magic for the soirée set. Baloun invented a life-size Hungarian town square for financier George Soros' 70th birthday. For a New York City welcome for Prince Charles, Baloun conjured up a forest of trees in a towering tent at Lincoln Center, complete with painted...
...state visitors, more than any other Administration. A shrewd businesswoman, Mrs. Johnson also brought to such events a notable warmth. On one memorable occasion, her calm dignity soothed a White House women's gathering after Eartha Kitt delivered a bitter anti-Administration protest. Elaborate state dinners often wound up with the liveliest late-hour dancing in official memory.

The teenager, who is mysteriously wearing a clean shirt turned inside out, admits that the wound, from a box cutter, was received in a fight with members of the Junior Horse Pack gang. The name is new to the police but "that's not surprising," says police inspector Jason Hewett. "They can form overnight and be gone the next day. Some of them we hear of once...
...Democrats may hope Bush's act of clemency will be another self-inflicted wound at a time when the White House is already hurting. Only 21% of Americans thought Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff, should be spared, according to recent polls, while around 70% thought he should not. For this unpopular President to show mercy to the convicted staffer of his even more unpopular Vice President would seem the Democrats' ideal end for the affair that began when columnist Robert Novak first wrote that Administration officials had outed Plame to him in interviews.
