FEATURES
Game Boys
BY SARAH BERNARD
Forget Brazilian supermodels. It's the Argentine polo players -- they only look like they jumped out of a Ralph Lauren ad -- who have made the Mercedes-Benz Polo Challenge the Hamptons' hottest sporting-cum-social event. Behind the scenes with Nacho, Tincho, Mariano, and the obsessed East Enders who pay a king's ransom to play with them.

First Among Piers
BY MARK JACOBSON
A half-century after Budd Schulberg immortalized the New York harbor in On the Waterfront, a recent bust of hoods with all-too-familiar names proves corruption never goes out of style. Now 88 and feisty as ever, Schulberg prowls the docks that made him more than a contendah and recalls the days of Brando and Sammy Glick -- not to mention Joe McCarthy.

Love Shack
BY WENDY GOODMAN
As a rock icon and a thrift-store junkie, Fred Schneider of the B-52's needed a home that could comfortably house not only him but tens of thousands of records, collections of pottery, and all the other loot (gooney birds, first editions) he'd picked up on the road. The result? A surprisingly streamlined Chelsea loft as eclectic as the man himself.

Celebrity City
BY ANDREW GOLDMAN
We're happy that he's happy. But we're not sure about Paul McCartney's new wife, Heather Mills. The British tabloids, which used to be her biggest champion, are disenchanted, and there are nagging questions about her charity.
