...habits since writing this book? Not dramatically. What is different is what I notice when I walk into a store. I walked into a Gap recently and I immediately saw that there was no clear pattern to how old the customers were. There were some people in their late 30s, some people in their early 20s. The music that was playing was a kind of soft rock, pop, instrumental music. Their campaign was about legacy, "We've been selling great-fitting jeans for 40 years." Then I walked into an Express store. The music was up-tempo and hipper...
...inch (12 cm) tower of meat stacked with seven beef patties and weighing nearly a kilogram - more if slathered with ketchup. The magnitude of meat has evidently blown the idea of a traditional lunch of fish and rice from the minds of men in their 20s and 30s, the main consumer of the new Whopper.

"If Cleve and David Mixner have really inspired so many kids to work on our behalf - finally, by the way, because I think these kids spent the early part of this decade playing Nintendo or something - why don't they tell them...
...1920s. Phar Lap in the '30s. Secretariat in the '70s. Dancing Brave in the '80s. The debate over horse racing's greatest ever flat runner has always been as contested as a Breeders' Cup - and it just got hotter. Sea the Stars, an Irish-trained colt that darted to victory in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in Paris on Oct. 4, might just be the greatest of them...
