...Organic Pharmacy came about in 2002. A serene white space on King's Road, the shop dispenses remedies for everything from colds to ringworm to dry skin. In addition to offering the traditional pharmacy service she grew up with, Marrone began mixing special potions for customers, who would then rave about their skin. Her carrot-butter cleanser and double rose rejuvenating cream became so popular that Marrone had to open a factory to keep up with the growing demand...
...packaging has won design awards, but more important, it has won rave reviews from people like Oprah Winfrey, who showcased a number of environmentally friendly products on her Earth Day show. She waved toward the others, saying "You know, I haven't tried those products. But I have tried this [the dishwasher powder]. I use this now ... I love the packaging."

When Willis, who was in Alcoholics Anonymous and now occasionally drinks, began to rave about the dangers of booze (perhaps provoked by my repeated references to his 1980s Seagram's wine-cooler commercials), and I countered with a question about a YouTube video of him looking a little plowed at a recent Nets playoff game, he smiled. He paused. And then he said, "Jet-lagged...
