...crunch of high inventory, debt and cash-flow problems). The danger, of course, is that you may get the thing in the mail and try it on (a Sherlock Holmes hat or cape, say, or one of those flouncy, too-much-by-half fin-de-siecle velvet gowns: "We drank Veuve Cliquot...") and find you look absolutely ridiculous in it. I always thought it would be risky to go out in the classic horseman's duster that was one of Peterman's hottest items when he started the business 12 years ago.

He still gets a big car and a big staff and is third in line to the presidency, but his job has always been a perch carved out of persuasion as much as power, especially when the vote is close...

One had hepatitis B, though he didn't know it, and the other didn't. On a single occasion, they drank from the same Coke.
