...hard for writers to bring to life, and reporter-researchers, who take responsibility for the accuracy of facts and figures, sometimes find the data numbingly complex and even contradictory. Fortunately, they enjoy expert support from the section's head researcher, Dorothy Haystead, who, in her twelve years in "biz," has counseled, comforted and cajoled a generation of TIME writers and researchers.

...Passing Fad. Why the vogue for underwear turned outer? For one thing, Ts are relatively cheap (ranging from $3.25 to a top of $14.95); they also eliminate ties and the button crunching of laundries. And as Eloise Laws, 28, a black show-biz beauty shopping on Long Island, put it, "I chose the design, the color, the style. I feel like I created this one myself...
