...morning of our Belgium trip, my friend Liz and I boarded the first Eurostar train out of Waterloo International Station, blurry eyed from lack of sleep but excited for the weekend to come (worthy of its own postcard). As we waited for our train to pull out from the station, I turned to her and said, “You know what? Europeans are so lucky and I don’t even know if they realize how lucky they are.

When the Johnsons marked their 34th wedding anniversary last week, Lady Bird presented her husband with a copy of an entry from her diary dated...

So in 1976, after working for other clothing designers and noticing a gap in the market for time-challenged career moms like herself, Belgian-born Liz Claiborne combined her flair for both and started Liz Claiborne Inc. In the '70s and '80s, her work outfits and sportswear were a revolution--sleek, versatile, affordable and, above all, easy. Asked how she turned her original 35-piece collection into a $5 billion powerhouse--and the first FORTUNE 500 company founded by a woman--Claiborne said, "I listened to the customer...
