Saint Laurent Is Creating a Line Even More Exclusive Than Couture
The brand is redefining what couture means and limiting who can access their line.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yves_Saint_Laurent
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yves_Saint_Laurent_%28brand%29
At thirteen years without a couture presence the brand is probably getting tired.
I have missed leadership among the couture houses.
We will see if the high end of fashion coalesces around a formality.
I understand rule breaking.
I find breaking nonexistent rules difficult.

N.S.A. Will Not Be Allowed to Keep Old Phone Records
Legislation in June directed the agency to stop collecting Americans’ calling data after 180 days, but did not say what would happen to the data already collected.It appears that the NSA reports results.

How is the public to know what they have done if the director does not know?
I can see no way to know.

House Hunting in ... Britain
Prices and sales of country properties in Yorkshire fell sharply after the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008, and have only just begun to approach prerecession peaks.I expect the market to be better for buyers later though I can be easily mistaken.
I am not anxious to own property there for the same reasons my ancestors left in the seventeenth century.
If your girl wants to be there she is welcome to all she can afford.
See she has airfare.

Asylums would be cheaper but were so mismanaged we will have to build support for them.
The asylum must be more than a warehouse for the unacceptable.
