...shoe price is about $100. The brand's Oxford Circus flagship store in London - which, at 90,000 sq. ft., is one of the biggest fashion retail spaces in the world, is a favorite pit stop for celebs like Chloë Sevigny, Keira Knightley and Kirsten Dunst. In New York City, Green and his team of 17 designers plan to stock the 25,000-sq.-ft. retail space with 200 to 300 new styles every two weeks. That's a superspeedy rotation given the fact that most U.S. fast-fashion companies restock on a six- to 10-week schedule, while...

The incoming Archbishop of New York has criticized the invitation, the local prelate conspicuously has refused to attend the ceremony, and most Catholic intellectuals—at least those not in open doctrinal rebellion—have written unfavorably of the fiasco. Unsurprisingly, conservatives still miffed about November’s results, which include perhaps a majority of the practicing and churchgoing...

Such a defense, mounted by every progressive Catholic politician since, clearly indicates that “truth” imposes no obligation if public opinion and the machinations of well-funded lobbyists are not fortuitously aligned.
