Filene's has been in business for 61 years, and is testament to the curious fever that infects bargain hunters. Driven by the notion that they are saving while spending, they not only buy more than they need but, as Basement General Merchandise Manager James Gormley says, "they end up spending more money than they would normally." Each day throngs of shoppers-as many as 200,000 at Christmas time-surge through the store's three dungeon-like underground levels, fighting for everything from name-brand nylon panties at 39? a pair to a Russian sable worth...

Making Breaks. He is just the man to do the shoring. When he left his post as general manager of the Packers to accept the Redskins' offer (of about 5% of the stock), the first thing Lombardi did was to lure Sam Huff out of retirement. A four-time All-Pro middle linebacker, Huff came back simply because "Lombardi is my kind of guy." Sam proved as rugged and mobile as ever. In the first game against Philadelphia, he came from nowhere to pick off a Norm Snead pass and lumber 18 yds. for a touchdown...
