That kind of accumulative technique is becoming a model for other designers and retailers, particularly now that Lauren has opened his superstore, in which he has even greater latitude to display such confections. To a certain extent, the Madison Avenue store competes with Polo outlets in New York metropolitan-area department stores. Some East Coast retailing executives were initially resentful of that. Some had supported Lauren in his earlier days or acquiesced to his extensive demands for floor space and elaborate fixtures in their stores. But the retailers are unlikely to shut down the boutiques in protest, because Lauren...
...Madison Avenue store, on which Lauren has lavished more than $14 million, is his ultimate showcase and testing laboratory. In many ways the store rewrites the textbook for upscale retailing. Built in 1895 as the home of a wealthy heiress, the five-story limestone structure had been divided into three separate shops until Lauren managed to get a 49-year lease that covered the entire edifice. Estimated annual rent: $1 million. Now fitted with hand- carved mahogany woodwork and custom-forged brass trim, and dappled with expansive Oriental rugs and sprays of orchids, the store evokes the imagined atmosphere...
...York Daily News Sports Columnist Mike Lupica. Two months before, he had nearly throttled a reporter at the Australian Open, where he lost in the quarterfinals after playing, as he put it, "like a dog."

Meese's passion for intent is so great that he has praised Marshall for it, even in Marbury vs. Madison. Meese has also managed to laud the decision on McCulloch vs. Maryland in 1819 as an exemplar of intent--the intent, says Meese, to leave lawmaking to Congress. Yet the primary effect of McCulloch, which rejected a state challenge to the national bank, was to affirm federal power over the states in any fundamental legal confrontation. In his opinion, Marshall inveighed against "the baneful influence of . . . narrow construction on all the operations of the government." Despite these heavy wounds, both...
...large, that has been the court's chief business ever since it first went into business. In Holmes' words, the Constitution has ramifications that "could not have been foreseen completely by the most gifted of its begetters." How, for example, could James Madison have foreseen a wiretap? Therefore its precise phrases, and the possible intent by which they were formed in a world dead and gone, carry far less weight than the flow of legal history and the accumulated power of precedent. Says Justice William J. Brennan Jr.: "The ultimate question must be, what do the words of the text...
