...would be incredibly naive to claim that America is the ideal, that we are a United Nations graphic design of different colored children dancing hand-in-hand. Nobody needs to be told that many of our problems as a nation stem from our differences, or that deep-seated racism dominates many political issues. Nevertheless, I have grown up taking diversity for granted. But such a diversity is virtually unique to the U.S. Being accustomed to it incalculably changes the way one views the world...
...organization that used to occasionally publish a so-called humor magazine. The Institute of Politics' room for undergraduate officers reveals a lived-in disorder; at Hillel's student lounge, final clubs and the Advocate, undergraduates while away the hours.

In 1970 he created evening wear out of materials like sweatshirt fabric and denim, an aesthetic later executed far less tastefully, albeit to greater splash, by Gianni Versace. Today Beene often buys shoes for his fashion shows along one of Manhattan's seedier discount shopping blocks. "There are jewels," he enthuses, "everywhere...
