Lush first made its way to North America thanks to brokerage scion Mark Wolverton of Canada's Wolverton Securities. While vacationing in London in 1995, Wolverton happened upon Constantine's irreverent new beauty deli and the following spring opened Lush's first joint venture outside Britain, in Vancouver. But it took Wolverton, 40, now CEO of Lush North America, six years to persuade Constantine to venture south of the border. "We honed our skills in rollouts in other countries," says Wolverton, "places that were less litigious, where there was less red tape." To help kick North America into gear...
...include a colored-ink Map of the Inferno illustration for Dante's The Divine Comedy, and St. Augustine in his cell, a fresco for Florence's Ognissanti church later transposed to canvas.

That pursuit is one of the most maddening in the car business--but carmakers are chasing the young with a fervor not seen since the '70s. Toyota has just launched Scion, a new car brand aimed at recent college grads who want an affordable, functional vehicle (with body styling so odd it hollers "check me out"). Other automakers are working to rebrand their existing youth cars and polish the image of these vehicles by stuffing them with higher-performance engines...
...they and I love." (A Times spokeswoman said Raines and Boyd would not comment for this article.) And indeed, the Blair scandal and its aftermath followed a decade in which Sulzberger had modernized and in many ways improved the staid Gray Lady. The son of the previous publisher and scion of a family that has owned the Times since 1896, Sulzberger beefed up the paper's features and cultural coverage, raised its profile nationally and internationally and pushed it to diversify into TV and the Web. Still, says Susan Tifft, a former TIME writer and co-author of The Trust...
