Although glaciologists can describe a glacier's movements and predict its effects, they cannot explain why the Hubbard Glacier or any of the 15 or so smaller frozen masses that are also surging in the Yakutat area -- albeit harmlessly -- began to speed up, while others...

Before long, Lauren had 30 employees helping to promote and sell his fast-expanding Polo collection. Chic department stores like Bloomingdale's showcased his collections, and the fashion press took notice. "He's acquired a certain reputation for clothes that are, you know, with it.
