...whether its employees may receive free clothes. Conda Nast, which publishes Vogue, Mademoiselle, GQ and other glossy mags, prohibits its employees from accepting "expensive" gifts, but no dollar amount is specified. Such vague guidelines are easily gotten around by junior staff members with no clothing allowance. "You can always borrow as much as you want," explains a magazine insider.

...MUCH OF LAST WEDNESDAY, TERRY LYNN Nichols busied himself with a few simple chores around his newly purchased two-bedroom house. He asked to borrow Etta Mae Hartke's ladder so that he could fix a loose metal vent on the roof. "I said it was O.K., if he put the ladder back," Hartke, 76, recalls.
