...years ago, Paul Freelob ran the neighborhood head shop. His hair was shoulder length, and he called himself Paul Free. He sold rolling paper, black-light posters and patchouli oil across the counter, and something a little more interesting under it. He wore biker boots, denims contoured by Levi, not Seventh Avenue, and diamond-shaped shades in wire frames. His favorite band was the Doobie Brothers, and he could sing all the words to Listen to the Music...
Mauzy strongly believes the Covenant can bring about "a long-term change in attitude" in Boston. He does not expect it to be an easy task, but one which will involve an extensive and widespread commitment.

Part of this wealth is spent on U.S. goods -Parisians wear Levi's and eat at McDonald's, and West Germans flock to New York City to buy cheap clothing from the surly natives-but the Europeans also know that their products, their cars and their computers are infiltrating markets that were once American...
...capital so that it can introduce new products and keep ahead of the pack. So far, Blue Ribbon has grown on the strength of reinvested profits with some limited outside backing, but in the near future it could be forced to go public or merge with a larger firm. Levi Strauss is rumored to be one possible partner; such a merger would complete Levi's mastery over the youthful wardrod of blue jeans and running shoes...
