...SEASONS 5 & 6 By Fall 1993, this sitcom was reaching the apex of its catchphrase-minting cultural power--so much so that mayoral candidate Rudolph Giuliani made a cameo in an episode about bogus nonfat frozen yogurt.

Sana'a, one of the world's oldest conurbations, lies in the embrace of the Jabal Nugum and Aiban mountain...
...botched shipments, lawsuits, and other setbacks. The one constant was Chouinard, who has reviled the idea of being an ordinary businessman throughout the years. “I continued to practice my MBA theory of management, management by absence,” he writes, “while I wear-tested our clothing and equipment in the most extreme conditions of the Himalayas and South America.”Chouinard’s other business philosophies are listed out in the second chunk of the book. There are several for every major aspect of the company, from production design...
