...entered into a deal with Wearwolf Group to produce Harvard Yard menswear, a line of preppy, plaid-heavy shirts, pants, shorts and jackets that wouldn't look out of place in a Rhode Island Ralph Lauren outlet but might look a bit much on campus in 2009. Field & Stream magazine, meanwhile, has partnered with the Otto Group, an enormous German mail-order and e-commerce company, to create Field & Stream-brand clothes. "Wear Your Passion," Field & Stream's website commands. It contends you can wear its khakis, jackets and shirts everywhere - field, stream or office. (See the Fashion Week blog...

In recent weeks, there has been a steady stream of Indian-generated reports bolstering India's assertions that it is unilaterally greening its act. A report released last week says India has consistently greened its GDP since the 1980s, with the energy intensity of India's GDP falling from 0.3 kgoe (kilogram-of-oil equivalent) per dollar of GDP in 1980 to 0.16 kgoe...
