...gift cards). This additional cost is made in the hopes that skiers, who arguably have an interest in preserving the environment, will be encouraged to choose Vail's resorts over its competitors. "We're hoping our guests sign up and have heavy participation in our program," says Vail CEO Rob Katz, "and then think, ?maybe I'll ski an extra day, maybe an extra two days.'" The only danger would be if consumers don't respond, in which case the company may find its green goodness is full...
...market for 18 months. She has slashed the price by $75,000, to $565,000, offered a $2,500 bonus to the selling agent and at one point threw in a $2,500 store credit for home furnishings--all to no avail.

...coming months will see a Tony Bennett feature documentary, executive-produced by Clint Eastwood, and a prime-time NBC special directed by Rob Marshall (Chicago). Bennett, who in conversation sounds like he's smiling even on the rare occasions when he's not, has nothing but exclamation points for Eastwood ("A class fella!") and Marshall ("Best director I've ever worked with!"). Initially, though, he had no interest in making the album that is at the center of his booming birthday industry, Tony Bennett: Duets/An American Classic, due out Sept. 26. "I was apprehensive," says Bennett. "I lean toward jazz...
