...civil defense officials : Virgil Couch, 54, industrial specialist of the Office of Civil Defense in Battle Creek, Mich. Says Couch: "Civil defense must be part of the normal way of life. Like smallpox vaccination, we've got to get used to it and build it into the normal fabric of our lives. In the old days, for instance, outhouses sat in the backyard; now the bathroom has moved inside. Garages used to sit on the edge of the lot; now many garages have been built into the home.

Some of them add the drip-dry feature to crushability. Among them: Haymaker's flowery separates in a drip-dry warp knit, $29.95 each; and countless, nameless nylon shifts, $10 and up. The knits follow closely on Pucci's stretchy heels: Kimberly's wool dresses with jackets ($59.95), three-piece suits ($59.95 and $69.95) and plain dresses ($49.95 and $59.95), all in solid, placid colors with...
