There are cynics who explain the Italian invasion as less of an onslaught than a mass escape from chaos at home. "Some of the families, they're running away from Italy while they can still get out," says Ginori Director Franz M. Aliquo. But most of the shopkeepers admit to a more direct motivation. "New York is the most important showcase in the world," says Gucci's Cagliarini. Aliquo of Ginori says: "We decided to come because of the prestige, just to say we had a branch on Fifth Avenue."

...collection of short pieces, difficult to define, few of them more than a page long, meditations on images in Cuban history. At worst they resemble Reader's Digest fillers, but at their best they are epiphanies. Each one presents a static image or a brief moment.

...Gladiators were the supreme fighters," says Joe Frazier, trying his mightiest to explain why he and fellow Heavyweight George Foreman were suited up like Roman combatants to hype interest in their June 15 bout. The idea for the gladiator getup came from Fight Promoter Jerry Perenchio, who borrowed two outfits that had been used in MGM's 1959 film Ben Hur.
