Holograms, those silvery 3-D images that adorn 500 million credit cards, will - soon make an appearance on another product: designer clothing. Garments made by Italy's Gruppo GFT for European designers Valentino, Emanuel Ungaro and Claude Montana will arrive in stores next spring bearing wafer-thin holograms that are glued to labels inside the clothing. The images, virtually impossible to copy, will certify to shoppers and retailers that the designer pieces are authentic. Anyone who tries to rip out the label and transfer it to a counterfeit designer garment will ruin the hologram. Clothing manufacturers hope the holograms will...

Both Avanzare and Spiaggia are seeing heavy action in Chicago, and Restaurant Associates is planning to expand its Vivande format from Baltimore to Washington, D.C., and Livingston...
Behind, a distinct, thin voice said, "Mommy is it over already?" But the scene was already shifting--snow returned, but this time it was graceful and slight. The Snow Queen and King entered the set, drawn by a sleigh with 12 reindeer. Some leaps and jumps later, Clara and the Nutcracker/Prince arrived. They were no longer the focus, however. They were the dream...
