...other fusion reaction, the fires that powered these short-lived stars worked by forcing simple hydrogen and helium atoms to meld into heavier, more complex elements. The stars that died explosively spiked the surrounding gas clouds with elements like oxygen and carbon, which had never existed before. Billions of years later, the elements forged in stars like these would be assembled into planets, organic molecules and, ultimately, human beings. At the time, though, they served simply to change the chemistry of the clouds, allowing them to collapse into far smaller objects than they could before. The second generation of stars...
...Amangani defines itself further with an unlikely fusion of Asian-inspired elegance and rustic grandeur. Slate floors and minimalist decor lighten redwood-paneled rooms warmed by log fires. Rawhide-and-rattan chairs are paired with black terrazzo tables in the 65-seat restaurant, whose eclectic menu stretches from Peking duck to elk steak.

...with distribution hurtling from 40 stores to more than 450 worldwide in just four seasons. But a collaboration with Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto to produce Y-3, a sports-fashion range that focuses on style above functionality, has been less successful. Part of the strength of the sports-fashion fusion is that it appeals to global tastes of both genders. At Adidas' Tokyo launch for Stella McCartney, Japanese men - typically smaller than men in the West - raced to buy the women's clothes for themselves, according to Nelly Kennedy, head of global lifestyle p.r. at Adidas. The company now hopes...
