...last summer Polo Ralph Lauren spent another $22 million buying out its Italian partner, PRL Fashions of Europe. A key Polo lieutenant, Lance Isham, moved from the company's New York City headquarters to London to oversee the company's international development, and an Italian, Gian Luigi Longinotti-Buitoni, who had most recently been CEO of Ferrari North America, was hired to manage day-to-day operations in Europe...

ITALY Echo of Sept. 11 When an aircraft crashed into the 30-story Pirelli tower in the center of Milan, many feared a repeat of Sept. 11.

The Bruiteurs shared the revolutionary spirit of the Dadaists, who believed that traditional cultural institutions, symbolic...
That said, I'd recommend that anyone with young kids lean toward the cute and lovable GameCube. Nintendo has mastered that market, and by mid-December should have 20 titles ranging from new twists on old characters--Luigi's Mansion, a Mario spin-off--to Pikmin, the latest from Shigeru Miyamoto, the genius behind the Zelda franchise. The GameCube has abandoned its cartridge format; games now come on adorable mini...
