...world, once it gets a good look at Bikkembergs' footwear, may go easy around his extremities. One of his more conservative shoe collections was a madcap combination of combat boots and vintage Olympic running shoes, a sort of rough-trade revision of Chariots of Fire.

He was having breakfast next door at Karens Restaurant when Bush arrived to rent a couple of videos, leading a 15-car motorcade of security and media people. "For a moment I thought my place was on fire," Ward recalls. "It reminded me of the Monty Python movie where the kid opens the bedroom window and sees a lawn full . of people. It's ridiculous for the press to follow Bush around to see what he buys. Renting Broadcast News is not a national policy decision...
