...change the Abercrombie vibe, which seems pretty tone-deaf to the times. At the New York City Abercrombie & Fitch store, whose neighbors include Prada and Gucci, a shirtless male model greets shoppers at the front and happily snaps pictures with the gawkers. Sales associates dance to hip-hop music in the aisles. There's not one "For Sale" sign in the whole four-story place. A pair of men's ripped jeans go for $90; women's jeans are $80; a hooded sweatshirt with the Abercrombie logo...
...confused as to why Mrs. Jackson objected. We didn't agree with the objection," says Howard Weitzman, the attorney for the administrators of Jackson's estate (who are, in accordance with his 2002 will, John Branca, an entertainment lawyer and friend of the superstar, and John McClain, a music executive).

...Three, after Yasgur praised the crowd for proving "that a half million kids can ... have three days of fun and music and have nothing but fun and music," the concert had turned great. Not all of it - 40 years later and still no one can explain why Sha Na Na was on the bill - but enough so that the collective memory is founded in something real. Performing live for just the second time, at 4 a.m. no less, Crosby, Stills & Nash delivered a riveting "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes." A few hours later, Jimi Hendrix treated the last 25,000 standing...
