Puerto Rico would resemble Quebec in other ways. There would always be a separatist party. There was one before the current fashion of civil war and balkanization, and there will be one afterwards. Its members are the unreconstructed heirs of the tradition of nationalist politics, the victims of American racism, all those who reject the American way of life.

She has put together the Inaugural costumes for Joan Mondale, wife of the Vice President-elect. Like Rompollo, Seventh Avenue's Brenner has a knack for simplicity, practicality and thrift.
