Peer pressure can hit lower-income families especially hard. George Valadez, a hot-dog and beer vendor at Chicago's Wrigley Field, has sole custody of his three young kids. His concept of being a good provider is to pour every spare cent into them. The family's two-bedroom apartment is crammed with five television sets, three video-game consoles and two VCRs. Next month his kids want to attend a church camp in Michigan that costs $100 a child.

The bump-and-bite is far more serious. Last year Chuck Anderson was training for a triathlon off Gulf Shores, Ala., when he was bumped by a bull shark, testing...
...Cannes and Claudia Schiffer at a Bulgari party in Rome. That was all the work of Gucci Group, which acquired the Saint Laurent ready-to-wear and beauty brands in 1999. No, wrapping up the haute couture shows was Yves Saint Laurent himself. When Gucci chief Domenico De Sole bought YSL, haute couture wasn't part of the deal. After all, De Sole answers to shareholders and selling a couple of $10,000 dresses a year at a loss doesn't do much for the bottom line.
