...fantasy is effective: private-label clothes have become a dominant and highly lucrative segment of the retailing industry. While department stores have long produced some house brands, many of them offered little more than staple merchandise like cotton-blend men's shirts in a few colors. Now the styles are proliferating so fast that they are pushing well-known designers off the racks. Major retailers today sell 600 different lines of private-label clothing, up from 250 five years ago, according to Kurt Salmon Associates, a consulting firm. House brands accounted for up to 20% of the $125 billion...
...other female member of the cast, Sandra Vinton (who starred in a production of Simon's Fools last spring), is less skillful at conveying the emotions of her characters. Most of her roles seem to blend together, and her characterization of a 19-year-old boy in "The Arrangement" is not credible.

The beans are the basis of a rich sauce of their own in Cantonese cookery. Here their aromas blend with the Szechwan bouquet in a way that I find very novel. Perhaps this is the "continental cuisine" of Taipei, where Chef Hou won his epaulettes at a major hotel...
...ideas or occurences shaped his thought, and hence the reader is left with no insight into the intellectual stimulants found in a scientific community. Interactions would have been a valuable book if it had begun to describe how a high-powered academic community functions, how competition and co-operation blend to produce great advances in knowledge. Instead, Glashow describes a puzzle of particle physics on one page, goes skiing with a colleague or his latest girlfriend on the next page and presents a possible solution on the next...
