Bangasa first caught on on campus. Wellesley and Sarah Lawrence and Vassar girls love theirs, and, more surprisingly, so do the boys at Harvard Medical School, who prefer the larger, solid-color model. Now the bangasa can be seen in Little Rock as well as Fifth Avenue, and more than 30,000 have been sold to date, ranging in price from $5 to $50 for a specially crafted patio-size bangasa...
Most women prefer, for simple economic reasons, to go to the salon.

...Europe, is toward less expensive gifts because of new, more stringent tax laws on gift giving. In Finland, any gift exceeding $30 is considered a straight bribe, and in Sweden it is considered bad form to give liquor-the most popular gift in the rest of Europe. The Germans prefer gifts that can be used over and over, do not like conspicuous firm names or advertising messages. Very few firms in Europe forbid their employees to accept gifts...
