...November performance of a 90-minute Martha roast. While the backlash followed in the tradition of other great Katonah protests (like its mid-'90s rally against Starbucks), this one was decidedly more personal. Some of the town's locally owned stores--where Martha and her staff regularly shop--put up anti-trademark posters...
...Raneri, a co-owner of Charles department store, housed in one of the buildings that made the Move back in 1897. Others in town were more dubious.

The replica jewelry looks startlingly modern, like the Lydian pierced-disk pendant ($58-$330, various sizes and materials) - based on one found in a 6th century B.C. tomb in what is now Turkey. The gilt-bead necklace - the original comes from Iron Age Tréglonou, Brittany - has a definite touch of class ($209). www.museesdefrance.com...
