What's the appeal? Dupont scientists developed neoprene more than 70 years ago, but today it is perceived as the high-tech material of the future. "Neoprene has a '60s-plastic influence," says Ken Downing, fashion spokesman at Neiman Marcus, "but it's very modern and directional." Indeed, soon after manufacturers realized that the insulating "elastomer," a fancy name for a material that stretches, could actually be worn, it became a material of choice for wet suits and outdoor gear.

The idea is to buy goods universally for all stores where feasible, so the 20 locations in Brazil can get the same price as the 3,400 Wal-Marts...
Polian was referring to Morris’ 24-yard highlight-reel reception of a pass from Heisman finalist Ken Dorsey on the East’s second offensive series of the game. Dorsey, who last week led the Miami Hurricanes in the national championship game, tossed a rising spiral to Morris on a seam route that the Harvard senior corralled using only his left hand...
