...three say this round of shoe-leather campaigning will trump earlier ones...
After entertaining us for six years with adventures in sex, friendship and shoe shopping, the critically acclaimed show, “Sex and the City,” will be broadcasting its final four episodes this February.

Gift-card holders can post their certificates at a small discount and sell them to the highest bidder. Consumers ship directly...
