Indeed, the goal of making stores inviting and confusion free has been reflected in store design. The notion of austere, open space--all the rage in chic urban boutiques during the '80s and early '90s--is now coming to an end, in the opinion of Paul Bennett, a retail architect who has designed shops for DKNY and Anne Klein. "Now the design has to be more welcoming, more intimate," he says. Bennett, who is working on shops for Calvin Klein's CK division, has helped popularize the concept of "zoning"--the creation of a series of small spaces within...
...notion of Walt Disney as a less than cheerful soul will ring disturbingly in the minds of older Americans taught by years of relentless publicity to think of Disney as "a quiet, pleasant man you might not look twice at on the street," to quote an old corporate promotional piece--a man whose modest mission was simply "to bring happiness to the millions."

...pawn before the eyes of a blindfolded, timid man. The mouths of the elders begin to explain the beginning and rules of the game. Some sets of Bak's work show pawns escaping from a toy horse, an allusion to a Trojan horse, only to win the game. The notion of a battle won by the supposed weaker player is an idea that radiates from these rare, passionate pieces of Bak's paintings. In Symposium, sagacious men discuss where to replant their tree which floats above, its roots emerging from an egg, its branches unseen. These prudent scholars consult sheets...
