...paper, written mostly in the first person, entirely without pretension and utterly without objectivity, by Windsor, who is something of a card. Windsor wears red Camel overalls and chain-chews Tums in between smoking Pall Malls, and the effect of his great heft is stunning: he looks like a denim- wrapped redwood that somebody potted in brogans. What is more, he has a tongue that could not be stilled if you placed it under a brick. "I always wanted me a paper," he was saying the other day, discarding a half-formed opinion that contemporary chickens have no personalities...
...hangar to welcome the Queen on another red carpet, and back up Refugio Road, past somebody's hand-lettered WELCOME LIZ AND PHIL sign, to the Ranch in the Sky. En route Her Majesty put on rubber boots and a Burberry mackintosh; the President changed into cowboy boots, denim jacket and Western string tie. The hours of tough (and maybe gratuitously risky) travel were all for the sake of a Tex-Mex feast: tacos, enchiladas, stuffed chilies, guacamole, refried beans.

Blue-Jeans Giant Levi Strauss & Co. hoped to cap a decade of surging profits in 1980 by clothing the U.S. Olympic team for the Moscow Games. Not only did the American team pull out of the competition but the denim fad deflated at about the same time. The company's profits fell 43% in two years, to $126.6 million in 1982.

The company will also provide uniforms for the staff and employees. All told, Levi...
Bellbottoms, peasant blouses, and velvetine baby doll dresses were the things to bring home in the '60s. Since few could pass up the price of $4.95 to $8.00 a pair, you could never have too many pairs of denim or hopsack Levis. But what students didn't spend on clothes they made up to, in audio equipment. Hot sellers in 1968 were Landberg of America tape decks and the K United Audio dual turntable...
...amazing variety of goods goes to market these days identified either directly or by insinuation as natural, or as nature's, or as conducive to naturalness. Bloomingdale's, that barometer of with-itness, features jeans made of "natural stonewashed denim." Golden Key Creations of Fort Worth urges customers: "Be pure, natural, beautiful with Vitamin E cream!" Breeder's Choice Pet Foods has launched a new line of "all natural" dog food, which is the regular line bereft of additives, and Weleda, Inc., of Spring Valley, N.Y., sells "an all-natural, non-aerosol spray deodorant."
