...traditionalists, while luring a new generation into Bondage? He ought to. But the only real suspense left is what to call the films when all the Fleming titles have been used up. One matter was settled long ago: Bond films have no competition as the most durable and popular series in movie history.

Sometimes, though, shoppers are dismayed by SORRY OVERSOLD tags on popular pieces. Though some frustrated customers think IKEA is always out of all the goodies they want, the actual total hovers at 200 to 300 of 13,000 items. To keep prices down, IKEA buys a whole year's supply of goods in advance for all its stores throughout the world, then bets that its projections are right...
