...missiles, plus all 250 of the more accurate SS-20s then in place (the current number: 351). This offer came to be widely criticized in Western Europe, first by the peace movement and later by some governments, as inflexible and unrealistic. Yet it appears that the zero-option concept originated in Western Europe. It had been mentioned by some left-wing members of the West German Social Democratic Party, and when Reagan made the proposal, the governments of both Italy and West Germany claimed paternity for the idea...
...slice of cultural space that a designer can claim and redress as personal property. The fashion press gives the designer title to the territory, and the store buyers advance the loan. Everyone, of course, is staking out real estate in the ozone. Fashion is an arbitrary and slightly irrational concept that needs all the buttressing it can get.

But LaMicela is at work, as are a film director, a cameraman, gofers, riggers and grips, and several black-and-white cows. The reason for all of this impressive activity-the concept, as agency philosophers put it-is that Ô de Lancôme is "a Saturday-afternoon fragrance." The woman who wears it is fresh and casual, and, although breathtakingly lovely, not obviously paired with a lover. Such a wild flower, as LaMicela explains with a poet's shy pride, might...
