...sorts of social commentary about '70s paranoia. The cast is competent and the direction by Philip Kaufman is skillful if opportunistic, but this is routine horror, not science-fiction or social statement. Donald Sutherland is bloodless as the health inspector who catches on to the massive eggplants which are infesting California, and it's a relief when he finally gets and eggplant of his own and becomes one of them. It's obvious that Leonard Nimoy is one of them from the start, although he plays the automaton well enough. Jeff Goldblum turns in the only creative performance...
...Annie Hallmark is tailored blazers, skirts and wrinkly fabrics, as exemplified in Calvin Klein's spring/summer collection. The paradox is that classic clothes end up looking like thrift shop purchases within a few steamy hours. One of the hottest-or coolest -fabrics around is Indian gauze, dyed with eggplant, saffron, cucumber and other natural substances, maybe even curry powder. Indian fabrics were among the highlights of a huge sales promotion of Indian merchandise mounted by Manhattan's Bloomingdale's last April. The material is so popular in New England that the Rhode Island-based, 80-store Touraine...
...giant pumpkin with the eggplant nose and toupee top came from Leon Pappas, a Connecticut Avenue fruit and vegetable vendor.

And answers that would make both Sir Walter Scott (Personalities on Parade) and Ann Landers quite proud, answers like "Yes," "Yes," "Yes," "No, not our lunchmeat," and "Eggplant." Rumors abounded that the Food Services considered the publication so successful (it seems that overzealous freshmen, mistaking them for Freshman Seminar applications, pirated scores of them from the Union at each meal) that they were thinking of renaming it "Cholesterol Quarterly" and buying out Harvard Magazine...
...lark" by Marsten, her Caveat Emptor partner Richard Neibaur and Illustrator John Johnson. They call their creations throwaway chic, but at $2.50 each, the necklaces are no giveaway. Still, Bonwit Teller, Jordan Marsh and Filene's of Boston, among other stores, have placed orders, suggesting that the eggplant-size paper rocks will be at least as much of a hit on the party circuit this fall as, say, pet rocks were last year. In fact, orders are pouring in so fast that the ersatz emeralds, diamonds and rubies are now in their second printing...
