...shared real estate with the Lauder name in the label's 59-year history. Still, William Lauder denies that the family is divided about the Ford alliance. Indeed, he says, Leonard Lauder himself set the wheels of the deal in motion after De Sole approached him last summer in Aspen, Colo., where the two own homes. But the quidnuncs were half right. John Demsey, who ran the M.A.C. business before becoming global president of the Lauder brand in January, admits that he and Aerin Lauder pushed to include Ford's name on the label...
Just getting Spamalot onstage required some unusual cooperation. All the Pythons must approve any project that uses the group's name or material--and they have turned down plenty. In 1998, after the troupe met for a tribute at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, Colo., Idle and Cleese began work on a Python stage show. But Terry Gilliam was too busy with his own films, and Michael Palin vetoed the idea. "Mike felt that we all look so much older now, and it would look a bit sad," says Terry Jones.

...natural habitat, often with unintended or unfortunate results. Kudzu, for instance, planted in the United States to prevent soil erosion in the 1940s, went on to entangle telephone poles, trees and fences over seven million acres of the American South.

The firms range from ambitious outfits like Zipcar and Flexcar, which are each adding as many as 1,000 members a month, to modest start-ups like the Dancing Rabbit Vehicle Co-operative in Rutledge, Mo., and Roaring Fork Vehicles in Aspen, Colo. Zipcar and Flexcar, zealous rivals, both say they will break even for the first time next month, even while they are preparing to expand into new markets from Chicago to Denver and Minneapolis. Across the U.S., car-sharing membership and revenues are expected to grow tenfold over the next five years...
...forces came to save Europe, but their presence today doesn't fit with current doctrine." The larger issue is whether the recall, set to begin in 2006, will degrade a transatlantic alliance already damaged by Iraq. "It's not a strategic divorce," says Jeff Gedmin, director of the Aspen Institute in Berlin. "I think both sides need each other in different ways, they have different priorities and objectives." But others - including retired Marine General Anthony Zinni, head of the U.S. Central Command from 1997 to 2000 - see a political message behind the recall, announced one week before the 60th anniversary...
