Having no expert to call on (they must all be out LOVING today) I'll just hazard my own guess: Hallmark's LOVE was conceived on a Manhattan subway car by a fat, bald, 35-year-old greeting card writer with thick glasses, a perspiring brow, a poster of Cheryl Tiegs on his closet door and a conscience burdened by the same aboriginal sins Alexander Portnoy complained about.

Gentlemen, I can honestly say that not only does Michael K. Savit know nothing about basketball, he knows even less about sports in general. And since sports is the only area in life he knows anything about, you can imagine what a low brow, unfulfilled life he lives...

But M & S has so saturated the middle-brow market with its reverse-chic lines that it has little room left to grow there. So, eagerly, it is starting to change. Last month it opened its first "up market" store in London's smart Kensington district. M & S has also opened stores in France and Canada...
