They're also longing for the exotic and exciting. Debbie Sansevero, head of Desan Productions, a firm aiding shops in product presentation, believes that shoppers have been numbed by the homogeneity of so much merchandise in stores today. "You look at Pottery Barn and Crate & Barrel, and the stuff in these stores is all the same," she says. "Shops have to have some way of distinguishing themselves to the customer...

Not that Starr has been completely unproductive. In fact, the 15 felony counts his grand jury brought...
...amount of aid received, was compelling: the old system didn't work. It was unfair, destroyed incentive, perpetuated dependence and distorted the economy. An 18-month TIME investigation has found that the same indictment, almost to the word, applies to corporate welfare. In some ways, it represents pork-barrel legislation of the worst order. The difference, of course, is that instead of rewarding the poor, it rewards the powerful...
