...large body of water. But that has not diminished the appeal of PacSun's surfwear. Thanks to MTV and movies like Blue Crush, kids from Alaska to Alabama are eager to look as if they spend the day with sand between their toes. In addition to its private label, PacSun stocks brands like Billabong, Quiksilver and Hurley, lines that pro surfers and skaters wear. Even though teens can get some of these brands at mass merchandisers such as Wal-Mart and Target, "they think shopping at PacSun is cooler," says Jennifer Black, a retail-stock analyst for Wells Fargo Securities...
...correct to label the latest upsurge as the end of the Bush Administration's "roadmap," but only because implementation of the "roadmap" hadn't really begun - most of the reciprocal gestures of recent weeks were not scripted by the "roadmap," but were made to calm the situation and create conditions for its implementation.

...opposite. Surveys conducted by the Pew Initiative on Food and Biotechnology show that over two-thirds of Americans are concerned about the safety of eating genetically modified foods in general. The U.S. government has even acknowledged the public’s deep malaise, as it steadfastly objects to the labeling of genetically modified foods—arguing that it would harm sales. It has filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization, claiming that consumers are so skeptical of the genetic manipulation of their food that simply adding a label stating that a particular product is GM, as the European...
...their boutiques from the rowdy street fashion of the teens preening outside. But enter Naoki Takizawa's sleek, stark space in Tokyo's fashionable Roppongi Hills neighborhood and the soaring glass wall seems less a barrier than an instrument for osmosis. Among his latest designs for haute-couture label Issey Miyake?fanciful blouses and blazers inspired by the flourishes of baroque furniture?mingle a more prosaic product: Takizawa's imaginative take on Lee jeans and Champion sweatshirts. "For too long, fashion was something people could look at but couldn't imagine wearing," says Takizawa, whose collaboration with the decidedly unglamorous...
