Tank tops, flip-flops, bare flesh and cleavage. It's the unofficial uniform of the summer interns, gaggles of college-age women and recent graduates who invade buttoned-down conservative Washington every summer, bringing a large dose of hotitude to offices from Capitol Hill to K Street. They're known as "skinterns." Those who think "belly shirts" are career wear. If the devil wears Prada, the skinterns wear nada. As if Washington wasn't sweltering enough. "All the guys I worked with here, they would love it when the weather got warm for that very reason. 'Ooohhh, the interns are coming,' " said Elizabeth Conatser, a...

Anyone just watch NBC nightly news? they had a story about a new "controversy" involving the White House over some college girls wearing sandals to the White House. Granted this was somewhat light hearted, but how pointless was that story.

Within a week, students had brought in more than 500 pairs. Platform flip-flops. Flat plastic flip-flops. Sturdy canvas flip-flops. Flip-flops with bumpy massaging soles. "They walk around on the hot cement and hot sand with no shoes and their feet burning," Katie Barry, 13, said matter-of-factly...

I'm going on a honeymoon to Sandals Halcyon, St Lucia in September. I've never been on a cruise or to an "All Inclusive" resort before, so I would like to know what to expect. Has anybody ever been to St Lucia? how about a Sandals? What did you think? Is there anything you wish you had done after you left the island? How does Sandals treat you? (pampered to the max, I hope) Thanks for any and all input

LONDON -- Ken Livingstone has rejected Tube adverts for a holiday firm which bans gays and lesbians from its Caribbean resorts. After complaints from gay groups and others, the Mayor of London has barred Sandals from advertising its "couples" hotels.

Little did we know or ever dream then that the Soviet Union would fall but that a truly [2] evil man from Texas and his equally evil regime from Cheney on down would take us over from within and that the Democrats would completely collapse before our eyes and help him do it. This truly [3] began with the stolen election of 2000.</p>
