  1. Happy scandalous anniversary to Allen Ginsberg's 'Howl'

    On this date, March 25, in 1957, Allen Ginsberg helped make literary history. That's because 520 copies of his poem "Howl" were seized by U.S. Customs agents on charges of obscenity. Ginsberg and his publisher, City Lights, would fight those charges -- and win.

  7. Fashion Diary: Peter Copping on his Nina Ricci collection

    Although several designers have tried to forge a modern identity for Nina Ricci over the last decade, the French fashion house is still better known for the iconic fragrance L'Air Du Temps (launched in 1948 in the Lalique bottle with glass doves) than for clothes.

  10. Book review: 'Irrepressible: The Life and Times of Jessica Mitford' by Leslie Brody

    In their time, the daughters of the second Baron Redesdale, better known as the Mitford sisters, were an industry. Their trade, for the most part, was their mere existence &#8212; swanning about British society, leaving scandal and newsprint in their wake. Nancy wrote deliciously acidic novels and gossipy history. (Evelyn Waugh dedicated "The Loved One" to her.) Diana and Unity were avowed fascists. Adolf Hitler was a witness at Diana's wedding to Oswald Mosely, and Unity was so besotted with the <i>F&#252;hrer</i> and chagrined when Britain declared war on Germany that she tried to kill herself. Deborah and Pamela were more reserved, but the tabloids avidly detailed all the sisters' fashions, marriages, politics and real estate.
