But Tadashi Yanai, CEO of parent company Fast Retailing, expects Uniqlo to reach $10 billion in sales by 2010, with 10% coming from the U.S. The haberdasher's son is introducing neighborhood concept stores--stocked with basics made with colorful Egyptian cotton and Mongolian cashmere--to three high-volume New Jersey malls, to add to Uniqlo's roughly 700 stores in Asia and Britain.

...dining by the innings, particularly if you have children and need to plan for attention deficits during lengthy pitching changes. Order a starter of popcorn in the fourth, followed by a hot dog main course in the fifth. For a sixth-inning dessert, go for the blue-and-pink cotton candy. By the seventh inning, the cotton candy will have turned your mouth purple. Go for a second hot dog in the eighth, and nurse your bellyache in the ninth.
