But in today's image-obsessed culture, men of every stripe and sexual orientation are bringing their beauty regimens out of the closet -- to the delight of the cosmetics industry. Are we really ready for a world in which men are the new women? PLUS: Beth Landman Keil runs down the latest in luxe spa treatments and products for men, and a panel of the city's most incisive style arbiters critiques New York men like you.
Hill Trouble When Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott mused that Hillary Clinton might be hit by lightning before she took her Senate oath, it pointed to a discomfiting fact: Her new colleagues seemed to hate her.

A story of the strangest of bedfellows -- senators.
