	Why Tom Ford's departure is good for fashion. By Josh Patner
		In a world obsessed with celebrity and status, the essential message of Ford's work was "Wear Gucci and Be a Star." This was made plain in his preference for attention-grabbing, slashed necklines, outrageous furs, and glamorous sunglasses and handbags decorated with the Gucci logo.
		Ford's brilliant re-vamping of Gucci—where, with business partner Domenico De Sole, he catapulted the foundering leather goods house with only $200 million in revenue into a $3 billion global fashion empire—set the standard for successful brand-building.
		Ford's absence may not be the only cause of these changes, but it does signal the dropping of the first domino.

	The Billions of Dollars That Made Things Worse by Heather Mac Donald, City Journal Autumn 1996
		Henry Ford and his son Edsel had originally created the foundation in 1936 not out of any grand philanthropic vision but instead to shelter their company’s stock from taxes and to ensure continued family control of the business.
		Ford was the first—but far from the last—foundation to conceive of itself explicitly as a laboratory for the federal welfare state.
		Ford’s experimental school districts soon exploded with anti-Semitic fl rage, as militants argued that fl and Puerto Rican children failed because Jewish teachers were waging “mental genocide” on them.

		The bidders were Joseph M. Jacobs, a prominent labor lawyer in Chicago who had the largest collection of Franklin D. Roosevelt items ever assembled, and publishing magnate Malcolm Forbes Jr., also known as Steve, this year's flat-tax presidential candidate (and now a face on his own collectible campaign buttons).
		The object of their quest was a 1 1/4-inch button bearing the portraits of the 1920 Democratic presidential candidate, Ohio Gov. James M. Cox, and his young vice presidential running mate, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, whose electoral record at the time was scant but whose name and smile were already magnetic.
		Jacobs liked to say that his victory represented a triumph of labor over capital, but it also heralded a heightened respectability for political item collecting, putting it on a par with the collecting of coins and stamps.

		Indeed, immediately after the US military defeat in Vietnam, Gerald Ford (the only non-elected U.S. president) attacked a Cambodian island --an act trumpeted in last night's paean to imperialism as a great victory, by the way.
