...Ersin Akarlilar, Sait's U.S.-educated son who runs American operations. "That makes it harder on production, but it has helped us a lot in expanding abroad." That difference spawned a slogan: "Mavi Fits." Mavi now faces a big test as its first generation of aficionados enters their mid-20s. "You don't want to age with your customers," says Akarlilar Jr. "That's one of the worst things you can do, especially with jeans. It's always an issue for us." To avoid that, the company nurtures a young, multicultural design team, mostly in their 20s. Travel is crucial...
...Obituarians too easily write that one man's passing marks the death of an era, but it can be written in Al Hirschfeld's case that this is the death of two or three Broadway eras. He came to his calling - caricaturist to the stars - in the 20s, when Broadway was the face of American sophistication and sizzle.

In a trice, Hirschfeld produced a clean version. In a fource, the Herald Tribune...
...swampy fields in the sweet-onion patch of coastal Georgia. This is as regular as regular Army gets: no frills, no illusions, lots of buildings that look as if they were meant to be temporary back in 1941. It's cold this week at Camp Swampy, down in the 20s in the morning as the last-minute training picks up and the clock ticks down for the company commanders. They must make sure that every soldier is qualified to handle his weapon, meaning he can snap-shoot a quarter-inch hole in a soccer ball at 100 yards. They must...
EARLY ADULTHOOD 20-30 yrs. By the late 20s, information processing begins to slow down. Memory centers in the hippocampus and frontal lobes seem most affected. However, this change is not usually noticeable until at least...
