When David Wolfe of Neiman's went to Rome to buy the extravagant furs that Karl Lagerfeld turns out for Fendi, he and his assistants practiced a serviceable combination of hard business, constructive gossip and applied technology. Wolfe nixed a deluxe fur that was cut like a pullover sweater because "we have to consider those big bouffant Texas hairdos. You can't expect clients to have to drag their furs over them." A dyed gray beaver jacket, with collar, pockets and cuffs furrowed like a plowed field, is "ideal for Mrs. Bowing." (All names have been changed...
...three-pin juggler, a jogger and, in the view of one federal judge, something of a legal genius. Both on tennis courts and in courts of law, his dress is often unusual: 1930s-style white flannels and sweater at play; bow ties and double-breasted suits at work. He relaxes by reading 19th century literary criticism and listening to pop singers from the 1920s. Long considered one of Washington's best trial Lawyers, Jacob Stein, 59, last week agreed to serve in one of the capital's current hot spots as the special prosecutor selected by a three...
...Fish and Wildlife and Parks shy about his enthusiasm for life in the outdoors. As he showed a visitor around his office, he sported a tie decorated with kangaroos and held in place by an elephant clasp.

...looks like an undernourished grad student as he waits for a plane at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. His gray sweater has patches on the elbows; his shoes are scuffed; his ginger hair flops over a pair of steel-framed glasses. He fidgets with a thick pile of papers that contain preliminary sketches for a new portable computer and technical details for silicon chips that will be used in machines of the late 1980s. The tag on his battered black suitcase reads "William H. Gates, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, Microsoft...
...awkward but also contrived. When Andrew takes a silent walk away from his home, he comes upon a Muslim funeral. He weeps for the unknown person who is being buried, and is noticed by one of the mourners (who wouldn't, it's hard not to in his preppiered sweater), who invites Andrew back to his village for a feast. But Schatzberg doesn't develop a relationship between the two, so the man merely serves as a token. This is the funeral that Andrew never attended for his mother, and the tears shed for the old man are those...
