...Robin Leach school of elocution. "I'm in the business of building trademarks." That's one reason why each restaurant is designed with a merchandise shop to tempt customers to buy such must-have souvenirs as jogging suits, $20 T shirts or baby baseball togs. Or a $399 leather jacket--just add it to the food bill. The logo gear is far more profitable than the edibles, with a markup as high as 200%, compared with 10% on perishable, labor-intensive meals...
...election, Prime Minister Shimon Peres and his challenger met briefly as they entered the Tel Aviv television studio where they were to tape their only debate. The two men shook hands, and then Peres, 72, leaned forward and said to his young opponent, "You have a stain on your jacket." For a moment, Netanyahu turned red with panic.

Reagan swept his hand through the air and stared mistily into the sunset; then he'd schmooze briefly in a structured receiving line and be in bed by 10 p.m. Barbara Bush introduced the Point-and-Wave technique, and at a large fund-raising dinner Wednesday night, the Clintons used it several times. Mrs. Clinton...
...that. Roger (Rodolfo in the opera) wears plaid pants made from a material similar to a popular trouser cloth of the mid-19th century. Tom Collins (Colline in the opera) follows Puccini in that the young man has a coat he loves, although it is a Tommy Hilfiger-style jacket. Today's Mimi looks nothing like Puccini's seamstress. She wears tight, shimmering spandex pants with a new holographic material annealed to the surface. Mimi literally glows, and this is the look Bloomingdale's is capitalizing on. As the season progresses, more Rent boutiques will open around the country...
