...trend American shoppers won't be seeing much of is the teenybopper pastel sweaters and T shirts that were once Esprit staples. Instead, the selection is more mature--khaki pants, jeans, striped shirts and white blouses.

The company is positioning itself to sell clothing at prices 10% to 15% lower than Banana Republic's. Krogner calls Esprit clothing "for good girls.

...these cases is risky--largely because so many of them involve foreign nationals arrested on American soil. As for native suspects, Seas of David--a partly Christian, Muslim, martial-arts, Bible-study group that wore black outfits with a Star of David on the sleeve and met in a pastel orange clubhouse--should defy any attempt at logic.

In 103 fast-and-furious minutes, we meet Lovett's neighborhood of Brown Sub. It's Miami Vice without the pastel suits and palm trees, a no-go zone where AK-47s are the weapons of choice and violent crime runs rife. Gittoes' energetic camera records a life for the Lovett family no less harrowing than the abuses at Abu Ghraib. "It's very rare that people come...
