About 11,000 companies make products for Sears. Some of the firms are well known. France's Michelin makes Sears RoadHandler steel-belted radial tires; Hamilton Beach supplies many of its tabletop kitchen appliances; Sunbeam provides irons; Singer makes Craftsman electric drills; Sanyo, Hitachi and Toshiba produce Sears television sets, stereos and videocassette recorders. Most of the suppliers, though, are unknown outside their industries, firms like Irwin B. Schwabe of Great Neck, N.Y., a shirt supplier and the largest maker of flannel shirts...
...night, Reve finds himself tormented with particularly nasty castration dreams that feature Christine wielding a pair of scissors in her blue-painted claws. Lest we dismiss the scene as a chuckle at Reve's castration complex and gender anxiety, within the next few shots we're shown Christine, applying steel-blue nail polish and' gleefully waving a very real pair of scissors. When Reve looks at the beach, he sees a bloody, mutilated man emerging from the waves, taking a quiet walk, he is hit over the head by a dying seagull...
Next month engineers will ram the first of three corrective steel barriers, or weirs, into the channel bed to readjust the river's flow. In the project's second phase, they will begin dumping dirt into six miles of the channel once so carefully scooped out. If all goes well over the next 15 years, the river will gradually rise and engulf the artificially dry plains that surround it, transforming them back to the lush, mosquito-ridden swamps they were for hundreds of thousands of years...
Instead of monumental stone and steel, the design features banners, bunting and balloons fluttering in the wind, lightweight fantasy structures jutting into the sky, odd-shaped cardboard-and-fabric tents sheltering the crowds.

They are Mediterranean colors but also suggest Mexican...
...mark entrances, for example, or to form information booths and food stands. Among the most striking are striped cardboard columns known as Sonotubes and normally used in making concrete forms, which give stature to rented tents, support cloth pyramids, and generally lend settings color, shape and order. Rented steel scaffolding has been bolted into lighthearted, ephemeral structures from which fabric waves. Thin, tubular balloons, some hundreds of feet long, sway in the air like giant streamers. Chain-link fences, essential for security, wear miles of fabric blazoned with Sussman's colors in stars and bars, as well...
