...Lauren story was a change of pace for Staff Writer Stephen Koepp, whose previous cover articles were on banking and the collapsing price of oil. A Wisconsin native, Koepp professes to be interested more in journalistic than in sartorial brilliance. Says he: "When I lived in the Midwest, I bought my clothes at Sears, but I did buy a Lauren shirt five years ago at a factory outlet in Connecticut. Only now is the shirt beginning to fray." Perhaps this exposure to current fashion will tempt him to consider replacing it before too many more years...
...moment, little growth is visible anywhere in the economy. Revised figures show that total output of goods and services rose a mere .6% in the ; second quarter, the slowest pace since the end of the 1982 recession. In an effort to give a boost to the economy, the Federal Reserve cut the discount rate at which it lends to member banks a half-point, to 5 1/2%, its lowest level in nine years. That should encourage further interest-rate cuts by the banks. The Reagan Administration and many private economists still expect a second-half pickup. Right now, though...
...Guide Mike Branham, 40, a strapping six-footer who each spring flies a pontoon plane full of bear hunters into a cove on Russell Fjord, in Alaska's southeastern panhandle. This year he discovered that things had changed: Hubbard Glacier was on the move -- at a most unglacial pace of about 40 ft. per day. "We saw the glacier advance like it never had before," says Branham. That was in April. Within weeks, the leading edge of ice had sealed off the fjord at its opening, turning the 32-mile-long inlet into a fast-rising lake and trapping porpoises...
...increased pace of drug smuggling across the border has intensified strains that have existed ever since the U.S. took over half of Mexico's territory in 1848. These days Mexico is producing roughly a third of all the heroin and marijuana consumed in the U.S. It has become a transshipment point for 30% of the cocaine flown into the U.S. from Colombia and further south. Unless De la Madrid acts soon, Washington fears, official corruption, already widespread, will become even more deeply rooted. "How long does it take for drug dealers to penetrate the government?" asks Assistant Secretary of State...
...Orange Riviera's basic appeal is still its natural assets: gorgeous beaches, wooded hills, balmy climate. Real Estate Investor Leo Gugasian hardly needs to explain his fondness for the area: his office is aboard his three- bedroom yacht. Says he: "The salt air and relaxed pace make me think better." Another amenity: a lower rate of serious crime, 37% below Los Angeles' last year...
