...closer to the epicenter of power, on the podium where President Barack Obama delivered his Inaugural Address, there was a noticeable flurry of fedoras - a nod, perhaps, to a bygone era when wearing a hat was a sign of respect and also celebration. (Look to Aretha Franklin's euphoric gray felt concoction.) Former Vice President Dick Cheney, Utah Senator Robert Bennett and the Rev. Jesse Jackson all wore fedoras during the ceremony.

Shallal and his team have concocted specialty drinks to match their namesakes for inauguration weekend - the Obama, the Delaware Dude, the Michelle and the Jill. Use one of the 100% biodegradable straws...
...gray area between copyright and trademark is just one of many in the complex field of international intellectual-property law, which is currently grabbing public, not to mention legal, attention as many of the icons of the 20th century - from cartoon characters to rock 'n' roll artists - lose copyright protection in Europe.
