Some modern moms and dads--not to mention doting grandparents--are shelling out large sums for the top-of-the-line trappings of babyhood. At least a few infants are sleeping in 24-karat-gold-plated cribs, which Lewis of London, a New York City-based chain, sells for $1,995. Clown, a children's store in Chicago, offers a $42 sterling-silver toothbrush. And thousands of tots are being wheeled around in sleek Aprica strollers from Japan, which cost...
...Rockefeller Center, the Music Hall's owner, planned to close it for good. That prompted a nationwide outcry that led New York City to designate the interior a landmark that had to be preserved. After a $2.5 million renovation that restored the original appearance of everything from the 24-karat gold-leaf ceiling to the murals in the bathrooms, the Music Hall reopened...
...celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. But that's not all, folks. Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, Wile E. Coyote, Pepe Le Pew, Sylvester J.

She also motivates much of the action when kidnaped by Blue Duck, an Indian whose specialty is killing settlers and selling their horses and children. Lonesome Dove has the highest mortality rate of any novel in recent...
Nice theory, but it is not working. In fact, many pedigreed imports remain as pricey as ever. For example, an Irish-made Waterford crystal decanter typically costs $159 in the U.S., the same price as two years ago when the Irish pound was worth about 25% more. The 18-karat, Swiss-made gold Rolex Presidential watch actually went up in U.S. list price during the past three years, from $7,950 to $8,850, even though the Swiss franc has fallen in value about...
