...president of Planned Parenthood is to be the organization's spokeswoman. Thus promoting herself is advancing Planned Parenthood. Even when she is being interviewed by Vogue or Ms., she rarely neglects to mention Planned Parenthood's 177 affiliates and 850 clinics in 46 states, which served 3.8 million people last year, offering everything from infertility counseling to prenatal care. But it is abortion that is at the very top of her agenda these days and, like a presidential candidate, she travels the hustings campaigning for choice...

B. Altman, with its 124-year-old reputation for quality and gentility, is going out of business. Six of Altman's seven stores, situated mostly in New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, will be shuttered next month because its current owners were...
That prospect is disappointing to Altman's devotees. "I'll be very sorry to see it go," said G.V. Biden, a customer since 1951. As shoppers last week scouted for bargains among Ralph Lauren shirts and Anne Klein coats, some decided to hold out for even steeper discounts. Sigoloff concedes that in the next few weeks "you'll see some serious price cutting as we try to move the older B. Altman inventory."
