...worth of manure from a Rockport, Mass. farm, supposedly to use as fertilizer. His August 2005 settlement with the Gloucester district court allowed him to dodge an admission of guilt, but The Crimson reported that Charles L. “Charlie” Lane Sr., the 98-year-old farmer, purportedly caught Weitzman red-handed (brown-handed?) in the middle of his craven theft, detaining him until the police arrived. “You realize the extent to which this ‘Harvard’ thing [has] a lot of baggage attached,” Weitzman said...

...there were few objections when the upstart manager, Renzo Rosso, announced he wanted to swap out his group shares to become sole owner of Diesel. A modest farmer's son from outside Padua, Italy, with a textiles-trade-school diploma, Rosso, 50, is not your typical luxury-group CEO. Sure, he flies in private jets and frequents fashion shows, but most of the time he wears jeans or sweats, and his curly hairdo is more Peter Frampton than Bernard Arnault...
