...anecdotal evidence is similarly irrefutable: white kids think it's cool to be black, which means the other 30% sets the trends and runs the show. With the market mired in thuggery, African-American consumers' could choose to: a) propagate a nasty stereotype of themselves for white kids to pin their libidinous fantasies on; b) not care; c) start patronizing the danger-free, supernice, superboring rappers at the liberal humanist fringe; or d) give...
Cashless consumers can now "blink" for strawberry Slurpees and feed the meter using their cell phones. Chase Bank U.S.A. has rolled out new credit cards with "blink": wave the card within 2 in. of a reader and a "beep" eliminates the need for a swipe, PIN or signature.

When that was widely imitated, he shifted to what might be called silhouetch, with shadows reverberating outward and often colored with brilliantly acidic hues. Of late, with silhouetch being copied in scores of advertisements, Glaser has been bearing down...
...last brisk assertions before he died in 1983 at the age of 88, Halas retrieved his old tight end from Tom Landry's coaching staff in Dallas and charged Ditka with restoring a mood. When he was a player, Ditka's style had been to pin teammates on the locker-room wall if they neglected to meet his standards. As a coach, he is hard on the furniture. "When the players walked in the first day," recalls Payton, "Mike was standing there with his arms folded. He nodded to [Assistant] Ted Plumb, who started calling roll. I thought...
