Small dreams have no place at the Limited, Inc. Founded in 1963 by Chairman Leslie Wexner, the Columbus-based firm consists of Limited Stores and six other retail divisions. Indeed, the company has grown so fast that $1,000 worth of shares bought when the firm first went public in 1969 would today be worth $1,237,000. Wexner gives Gibson credit for much of that success...
...carpeted, fluorescent-lighted room, Isaacson put the race-car driver through a grueling 1 1/2-hour workout designed to strengthen his lower and middle back after injuries suffered last summer when his vehicle slammed into a wall at 185 m.p.h. in the Poconos.

Says Kay Richardson, Church's public relations director: "When I receive a letter from someone in Seattle asking about catfish, I know it's made it." According to a recent report by the Department of Agriculture, foreigners may soon be craving their own catch of American catfish. Among the likely...
...people with typical Western-style high-fat diets and family histories of colon cancer were given 1.2 grams, 1½ times the recommended daily allowance, of calcium, which acts to neutralize bile acids. After only two to three months, tests of their colon linings showed that the number of fast-growing cells associated with cancer had significantly decreased. More study is needed, but at least one expert has already urged adults to drink a quart of fat-free milk...
