  „There was this, and much, much more; but yes, he did eventually perish, which was unfortunate. A single polished stainless steel urn, said to contain the posthumous ashes of this Coffee Man - was later stolen, from its permanent resting grounds on the second floor of the Moma where it was part of a much larger installation entitled: Deadly Serious Art, The Fashion of Fanaticism; and, in a related development, later turned up on the person of an art student from The Parsons School of Design who attempted to melt these said remains down in a spoon and inject them into her veins in a bizarre and dangerous graduation day stunt, one that rocked the community at large, even threatening to tarnish the good name of that institution of higher learning: "This, and seventy-five cents gets you a cup of coffee!" she was rumored to have screamed, brandishing her diploma, before being tackled by a bystander.“

  „"I've never heard of Starbucks, but I wouldn't go to a coffee house where you can't smoke," said cosmetics worker Ulli Schiller, 38.

'David and Goliath' The Seattle-based company, which operates nearly 5,000 franchises in almost 30 countries, is planning up to 14 more shops in Austria over the next 18 months.

One such is the Coffeeshop Company, located around the corner from the new branch of Starbucks.“
