asked Men's Wear. Decrying Nelson Rockefeller's wardrobe as a "sartorial mess" suffering from a case of "terminal boredom," the editors sought suggestions on Rocky's behalf from four fashion designers. Bill Blass complained that "it's difficult to dress politicians because there's an aspect of insincerity about them." But Blass, along with two of the other designers, prescribed pin stripes for Rocky. "He would have new confidence in himself if he were to care how he looked and maybe people would start noticing him instead of his money," said Piero Dimitri helpfully...

He has this sense of uncanny timing, this air of naivete that works particularly well when he tells the strange lady to take off her dress so he can see if she really isn't that boy in disguise or when he casually draws a scenario for Napoleon showing how his horse had actually won the battle of Lodi...

Anton reassures him about his clothes, "but they suit you." He bundles the count into the back of a touring car, lashes his wheelchair and coffin to the roof, and drives...

Both wore formal dress, though the President's striped trousers were cut so short that they showed an unseemly inch of black silk stocking. Almost 30 years ago, Ford was an officer aboard a U.S. aircraft carrier in the mid-Pacific when Hirohito ordered Japan's surrender. A military band played the two countries' national anthems, then, in a touch of unintentional irony, serenaded Ford with the University of Michigan fight song, The Victors. Hirohito took Ford to the moated Imperial Palace to meet Empress...
