...Gucci family, the company finally went public in 1995, and its fortunes began to rise like hemlines. With the help of 36-year-old American designer Tom Ford, CEO and president Domenico De Sole transformed Gucci from the butt of jokes about men who wear loafers to a label both Seventh Avenue and Wall Street adore. (Ford's first famous look: velvet hiphuggers and a satin shirt.) Incontrovertible evidence of how far it has come: Helen Hunt wore Gucci to the Oscars this year...

So they budged, and both Daschle and the White House seem to be awfully happy with the results...
...Best was replaced by another Liverpool drummer, basset-eyed Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey in 1940). After passing an audition that their manager, Brian Epstein, had arranged with EMI's Parlophone label, the group cut its first single, Love Me Do, a moderate hit. In January 1963 a second single, Please Please Me, went to No. 1, and Beatlemania was born...
