...trends, however, the hoopla over Hawaiians has been around for some time. Designer fashion has been turning away from somber print hues and subdued patterns over the past few seasons, and the shirts, whether worn by men or women, have an insouciance that works as a parody of conventional cool. "They're great fun to wear," says Tom Selleck, television's most agreeable private eye, who often sports custom-made Hawaiian shirts while crime busting in the islands. "And they're murder under a navy linen sports coat." Says Harriet Love, who carries a good supply of prime old Hawaiians...

An adviser tells the President: "It's a hot potato, none hotter. We may be biting off more than we can chew." The "cool lustrous brain" of Judith Carriol manifests itself dimly: "The less people involved, the better," or, "If there is any reason in the world why you are where you are and who you are on this day, the reason...

Many of them would undoubtedly make less money in a share economy than they do now. For that reason, labor unions are decidedly cool toward the proposal. Says Murray Seeger, director of information for the AFL-CIO: "This scheme would continue the suppression of workers' earnings." Weitzman says the Government would have to lead the way in overcoming worker opposition. He suggests that employees who accept a share plan be given income tax breaks...
