She and her neighbors are charging Fairchild with negligent contamination of a public well serving 700 residents.

It was a beautifully tailored suit, a muted plaid." John Fairchild, Women 's Wear Daily publisher, seconded the thought: "Good for him. The President didn't look like a stuffy old goat.
