...sell his vision of the lush life, Lauren is building an ever larger retail network. The designer now sells his products in 48 franchised Polo shops, 132 department store boutiques and 16 discount outlets. In April he opened what his company calls the world's largest one-designer store, Polo/ Ralph Lauren, in a 20,000-sq.-ft. renovated mansion on Manhattan's tony Madison Avenue shopping strip. The Polo palace, which is the first retail store Lauren has owned outright, represents a gamble that one designer can produce enough strong-selling goods to support a department store-size emporium...

While the huge C-5A sat at the airport in full view of TV cameras, reporters and, presumably, drug merchants, U.S. troops needed four days to transport supplies to a base camp north of Trinidad, in Bolivia's lush northeastern Beni region, where most of the coca leaves are processed.

The show, which derives from more expansive exhibits seen in Vienna and Paris over the past two years, will be on view until...
From that meeting sprang a partnership that enriched the American musical theater with Brigadoon (1947), Paint Your Wagon (1951), Camelot (1960) and the show many credit as the genre's best, My Fair Lady (1956). Those lush romantic period pieces became big-budget Hollywood movies, usually with scripts by Lerner, and the two created another nostalgic costume epic, Gigi (1958), directly for the screen. Their style of show eventually went out of fashion. Their songs never did: Thank Heaven for Little Girls, If Ever I Would Leave You, They Call the Wind Maria, I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face...
