...town (assuming that the term “girl” can refer to a 71 year-old girl-at-heart and “town” can refer to Palm Beach, Florida, one of the richest towns in the country), and her name is Lilly Pulitzer, creator of the brightly colored, Palm Beach clothing and lifestyle brand bearing her name. Lilly began her business in the late 60s, but today enjoys more buzz than ever as she whimsically prances barefoot into American popular culture, one wild flower shift dress at a time...
Fifteen percent of the money in equity mutual funds--nearly $600 billion--is invested in low-cost index funds. Investors have one man to thank for making that option available to them: Jack Bogle, founder of the Vanguard mutual fund group and creator of the first index fund in 1975.

Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane says few cult series turned DVD hits are likely to get this kind of reprieve. "In animation," he says, "it's much easier to be revived because you don't have to rebuild sets." Or reassemble the cast. But Family Guy's resurrection does demonstrate the growing importance of DVDs to the TV business, a development that may affect what kinds of shows get made--and stay on the air--in the future. Following the success of movie DVDs, which now bring in more money than the box office, TV DVDs made more than...
