Despite the blustery 17 degrees F weather, the crowd began forming early at the Golf Mill shopping center in Niles, Ill. When the doors at the Sears, Roebuck store finally opened at noon, customers were welcomed with coffee, cake and brightly colored balloons. From Waikiki to Watertown, N.Y., crowds poured into Sears' 823 outlets last week to see firsthand the transformation of America's largest retailer.

...impoverished land. Around Aden, a busy port where several thousand ships call each year, swarm laborers clad in sarongs and tribal headgear. The nation comes close to feeding itself but its searing bone-dry desert climate offers little room for agricultural expansion.
