...Dodgson drawings, though worlds away from the expert expressiveness of the famous illustrations by Tenniel, have a charm all their own. They summon an image of dear Dodgson as he sat back, pen in hand and collar askew, to beam at this lucky squiggle or that eager splodge and imagine how Alice would soon stare at it with huge believing eyes. The later Alice is a work of literature; the earlier a work of love...
...more serene times, the campus chaplain had little more to do than pre pare sermons for compulsory chapel and ladle out doses of manly Christian advice to the spiritually downhearted. Today, he is likely to wear wrinkled chinos instead of a turned-around collar, read Playboy as well as Plato and center his operations in a coffeehouse rather than in a Gothic church.

...Thunderation!" he muttered indignantly, as the Illinois Central's crack Panama Limited slowed for a laggard signal. From his starched collar to his shiny black shoes, the stocky, craggy-faced passenger was obviously a farmer returning from the city, impatient to see how many inches the corn had grown in his absence, begrudging every precious second of daylight lost in transit.

Certain Invasion. After pulling up his stocking sales, bull-necked (collar size: 18 plus) Schulte built a shirt factory in Italy, where labor costs are lower, supplied it with nylon material from his German mills. Last year he began sending tens of thousands of men's dress shirts to West German shops at prices ranging from $1.50 to $2, less than half the price that other shirtmakers asked. In the resulting price war, retail shirt prices fell as low as $1 and dozens of smaller competitors went out of business. Schulte has collared a quarter of West Germany...
