Sears had been stepping up its efforts to lure younger, wealthier shoppers, offering them higher-priced, more stylish merchandise, from clothing to sporting goods. But it did so under the Sears brand name, which was doubly deadly. The label turned off buyers who could afford higher-priced items but did not want the middle-class image of a Sears product.

...best suppliers received awards at the company's annual "Partners in Progress" dinner, presided over by Merchandising Boss Brennan. The winners of trophies and crystal prisms are not just big companies. This year Gear, Inc., of New York City, with Sears just since 1983, was praised for the stylish looks of its country-furniture designs, now on display in half of Sears stores.

Gorski took the gold, taking both heats, Vails the silver, and Japan's Tsutomu Sakamoto the bronze. As they racked up the wins with their funny bikes and star-spangled skinsuits...
Buoyed by some stylish exoticism, by Krabbé's ferocious performance as its bedeviled protagonist (a less-gay gay the movies have never offered) and by the mysteriously growing repute of Director Paul Verhoeven (he was responsible for the stodgy Soldier of Orange and the ugly Spelters), The 4th Man is bobbing prosperously along the art circuit, a midsummer night's titillation for the would-be with-its. But the movie's ultimate fate, surely, is to be celebrated, along with Pink Flamingos and its ilk, at the midnight masses of the lavender thrill...
