...University of Rochester, a small and expensive (tuition, room and board: $7,000 a year) private college in upstate New York, is one of a handful of schools that have taken to holding freshman orientation early and???rarer still?inviting parents along too. While the incoming students spend the 2½-day period registering for courses and meeting their new classmates, they are firmly segregated (to their relief) from their elders.

One YSL eyecatcher: a tricolored cotton shirt worn with sailcloth pants. His ready-to-wear clothes were modern, young and???with one or two see-through and derriere-baring exceptions?eminently wearable on Manhattan's avenues. That?if not his prices ($500 or more) ?will doubtless bring Yves new acceptance as a guru turned pragmatist...
...Raiders sailed through the remainder of the season on a tide of law-suits,? late hits and???in a play-off game against the New England Patriots?disputed calls by officials. They left in their wake, in addition to Swann's concussion, Patriots Tight End Russ Francis' broken nose and a host of battered, angry opponents. The Raiders' explanation: football is a game of aggression. Playing hard is not necessarily illegal...
