...Clearly, dresses from Pucci and Diane von Furstenberg aren't shredder bound. But who are their likely buyers? "Women looking for value for money," Farquhar says. "People who want something different to express their individual style, who like mixing pieces together." Women who initially come in attracted by the new fair-trade labels are buying used items, too, she says. So far, secondhand merchandise accounts for half the shop's sales. On a recent weekday morning, a range of shoppers, young and old, came in to browse or buy. Twentysomething Caroline Dunlevy, who was making her second visit since...
...hour extravaganza (topless acrobat on a phallic pole, Madonna easing a whip past her crotch, dancers gyrating in auto-massage), but it soon gives way to simpler, sunnier images. For Rain, Madonna dons demure black; the look says, ''Listen to the sad ballad, the sweet harmonies.'' For Express Yourself, she's dolled up in royal blue bell-bottoms and a frizz wig, to pay homage to the gaudy innocence of the Cyndi Lauper era.

...movement that pays so much homage to purity and anticommercialism is bound to be divided by charges of hypocrisy, especially when the lure of big bucks is at hand.

...superior idea of buying several old domed railroad observation cars, built to take big spenders from Chicago to the West Coast in the '50s. These splendid arks, nicely refurbished and staffed with chefs and strolling musicians, now shuttle between Anchorage and Fairbanks every day as the Midnight Sun Express, stopping at Denali in mid-journey. Travelers sip champagne and goggle at moose and caribou while reflecting that a really high- tech society would reinvent the railroad, as an art form if necessary. Tourists can stay outside the park at the comfortable Crow's Nest Cabins on Sugar Loaf Mountain, overlooking...
...Kabul Fried Chicken is, if he is to be believed, the brainchild of Mirwais Abuldrahizmi, who long ago observed that the young people of the Muslim world like to express their cosmopolitan yearnings through their consumption habits. And returnee Afghans, like himself, bring with them visions from exile of girls without headscarves, shopping malls as social hubs, and the rituals of fast food. Many of today's young Kabulis are as nomadic as those who traveled the silk road hundreds of years ago, as the return of thousands forced into exile by successive wars enables an uneven cosmopolitanism to take...
