...want something to show for it, even if we're not Internet billionaires. So where design used to be considered vaguely precious, the province of the Sub-Zero-refrigerator-owning elite, it's now available to all--from the crowd that shops at Target to those aesthetes who can pick out an Enzo Mari from 20 paces. If we learned anything from the barbaric old '80s, we learned that more is not enough. We want better--or at least better looking...

Pick the candidates, flood 'em with squashing amounts of money and send 'em forth. Round up the cadre to provide a flying wedge. Anyone not on board had better consider himself dead meat as far as the party is concerned. George W.
