...surpassing American oddity that a proper Bostonian who seems so profoundly uncomfortable with the rude ceremonies of the public square can transform himself into a sleek political warrior, eager for the havoc of pitched battle.

Inside Louis Vuitton's sleek flagship store on New York City's Fifth Avenue, customers are ogling the now ubiquitous Murakami Speedy, a monogram handbag that sells for $1,500 and is carried by such A-list celebs as J.

A California woman, in town with her fiance last week, was spotted perusing a table stacked with fake Vuitton, Kate Spade and Marc Jacobs handbags. She was looking for a new Vuitton bag because the strap...

...Ferrari. In an example of blatant but stylish cross-marketing, Olympus will introduce in July the official camera of Schumacher's racing team, the Ferrari Digital Model 2004 ($699), a 3.2megapixel digital camera with 3X optical zoom. The innards were conceived mainly by Olympus' brain trust.
