There's a huge market for secondhand clothing overseas, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, where few can afford to buy new clothes. And it's no secret that nonprofits like the Salvation Army fund their aid programs by selling donated goods to exporters. But USAgain is the first unabashed--albeit vaguely labeled--for-profit firm to establish a nationwide presence in the U.S. The company, based in Elgin, Ill., is teaming up with recycling contractors in cities like St. Paul, Minn., where residents can leave bags of clothing on the curb alongside paper and plastics.

Her prose, always a serviceable, unshowy instrument, is stronger and more confident, and she has become a virtuoso plotter, a master at snappy pacing, able to stun and surprise at will...
...Year Itch. The film version, with Marilyn Monroe, brought him to Hollywood, where he wrote the scripts for Bus Stop, Breakfast at Tiffany's and that classic spiked cocktail of melodrama, satire and treason, The Manchurian Candidate. His two films as writer-director, Lord Love a Duck and The Secret Life of an American Wife, are revered by comedy cultists...
