...Beguiled, a witches' brew of Ambrose Bierce and Carson McCullers, is set in a rundown Louisiana finishing school toward the end of the Civil War.

Quite possibly the broader political irritations will subside, as they traditionally do after a campaign. But for the present, the 1970 electoral battling left the land still more riven than it was before the skirmishing...

...scared not to read Women's Wear. We are influenced by it?everybody in fashion is." So are some 10,000 other readers outside the industry, who are fascinated by WWD's piquant brew of gossip, profiles, trendy tips and incisive reviews. Eleanor Lambert, fashion's foremost publicist, is no particular fan of Women's Wear, and vice versa. Still, she feels that the paper "has the same impact as Walter Winchell once did.
