...hasty retreat under the crackle of gunfire. Within hours, the wounded Greene had been airlifted to the U.S. Army hospital in Landstuhl, Germany, where doctors reported late last week that he was in stable but serious condition. He faces "a very long and protracted recovery," says Dr. Catherine Gray, a Canadian Forces medic in Germany...

"If we create a handbag that everyone wants and then they also say, 'Great price,' then we've hit on something," says Krakoff, whose office is decorated with inspiration boards that include photos of a Noguchi sculpture, a Marc Newson sketch and a swatch of gray fabric from a chair in his house.

...S.p.A., very nervous. Even after the elicottero has floated up several hundred feet and the 100-acre estate below?tennis court, boccie court, soccer field, man-made lake, lemon and olive groves and church included?has receded into the distance and there's not much left to view except gray fluff, Andrea keeps a watchful eye out the window.
