...differences between Rove and Bush, their similarities bound them from the start. They bonded over their shared disdain for the snobbery of East Coast elites and the culture of permissiveness of the 1960s.

Sales have grown about 25% annually ever since. Now Fay makes clothes and bags, too, but managing director Martino Scabbia Guerrini says the company's mission is unchanged: function first...
...future of Scotch will be determined by the performance of its basic, blended brands, there's good money to be made from the single malts - as Glenmorangie's expansion can attest. Global enthusiasm for pure malt whisky has enabled the market to grow from practically zero in the 1960s, when almost all malt whisky was sold to the big blenders, to one worth $373.5 million in sales last year.
