...self-proclaimed "greatest sporting goods store in the world" is back. Abercrombie & Fitch's classy clientele included heads of state from Theodore Roosevelt to King Hussein, and its bison suede coat, for example, was considered a steal at $2,000. A&F, however, slid into bankruptcy three years ago after a long battle with less prestigious, but more practical, retailers. Now Houston's Oshman's Sporting Goods has bought the firm's name and mystique, and this week it is opening in Dallas the first full-size new Abercrombie & Fitch store. Oshman's already...

The circus was a big favorite. The first act features the famous Filatov bears and the second, a troupe of huge and somewhat soporific seals who perform in a large water tank with a stage, Like an island, in the center.
