BILL BUCKLEY stood up before the applauding crowd. He looked a little nervous and a little rumpled in his blue blazer, striped tie, and chinos. Since Wednesday, when the tenth anniversary celebration for Young Americans for Freedom began, almost all of the speakers at the convention had commented on the amazing growth and unexpected success of this conservative youth group. YAF had started out ten years before with a weekend meeting of 90 young conservatives at Buckley's "family home" in Sharon, Connecticut; now 460 of the 55,000 national members stood on the lawn of that same Buckley estate...
There was even a sharp visual contrast between the two. Tuppeny in his blue blazer with the "U of P" in red on the pocket, stopwatch in hand. The technician. Authoritarian, McCurdy stood next to him in his grey sweatsuit, sweating. He had a beard on his face. For a Harvard fan, the contrast was easily categorized. They were crew coaches Joe Burk and Harry Parker, or even the scheming Lex Luther and Superman, who stood for truth, justice, and maybe even the American...
Chanel modified the shape of her suits with a bolero or cutoff blazer jacket, cropped and V-necked. Nina Ricci's Gerard Pipart kept his daytime clothes straight and simple, took a giant steppe to Russia with evening wear that featured fur Cossack hats, officers' coats, boyar pants (Russian-style knickers) and gypsy dresses.

Later, when it was over, I watched Bud as he filed his story over the telephone, clad in his winter uniform-double-breasted navy blazer, party-dude striped pants, de Bergerat shoes. He seemed calm and in control. But it would have killed him to hear what Stolle and Newcombe were saying just a few feet away...
...today has nothing to do with nostalgia. The Jeep was first in the field of four-wheel drive, go-anywhere sports vehicles, and it now holds 35% of that rapidly growing market. Last year 60,000 Jeeps were sold, despite competition from Ford's Bronco, General Motors' Blazer and International Harvester's Scout. Jeep owners have their own clubs, and they hold an annual 1,000-mile crosscountry race in Mexico. The race is going to get a new sponsor. Last week Kaiser Industries Corp. announced its intent to sell its Jeep division to American Motors...
