...Calvin Klein is the icon of minimalism, Ralph Lauren the elegant esquire and Donna Karan the workingwoman's tailor, Jacobs is the eclectic sampler who has ushered in an era of sophisticated charm in fashion.

She is afraid her family will find out she is a prostitute, so we will call her Thandiwe. She looked quite prim and proper in her green calf-length dress as she waited for johns outside 109 Tongogaro Street in the center of downtown. So, for that matter, do the dozens of other women cruising the city's dim street corners: not a mini or bustier or bared navel in sight. Zimbabwe...
With all the barriers the workingwoman faces, with all the hurdles that have been in her way, we at Catalyst are betting on her, and so should the nation. The men who head America's greatest companies have a stake in the success of this talented, skilled, hard-driving, confident workingwoman. These men know competence comes in all shapes and sizes, and they don't want to lose out on half the nation's talent pool. They won't have the smartest employees, managers or executives. She'll go to the competition or to small business and, as has happened...
