...beasts with such hair beautifiers as Helene Curtis Spray Net and Adorn. One high priestess to an Airedale basted her dog with beer and brilliantine to stiffen and shine its coat. Terrier handlers carefully plucked hair from their dogs' legs and chests, leaving a pile of red fuzz on the floor. Rumors flew that some of the competitors even had eye drops to enhance their pupils. And to keep up morale, Abercrombie & Fitch was on hand with gifts not only for the dog, e.g., rubber fire hydrants, $1, but also for the owner (imported silk ties emblazoned with...
...Steve Allen, Actor Nugent still exuded a trim, boyish charm, whether he was twitting himself, his wife ("You're not aware, not tuned to me; you don't handle me carefully") or his new dentist ("All he says is 'Hello, sit down, RINSE.'

In cooperation with the Asociación Canofila Mexicana (Mexican Kennel Club), he set up standards for the breed. A genuine Xolo should have no hair except a slight fuzz on the top of the head and the tip of the tail. The naked skin can be any color (dark brown or grey is commonest), but large blotches of pink are undesirable. The ears should stand up straight...
...mushroom growth has exposed the management consultant business to the withering charge that it is a fad, a fraud-and worse. In fact, says one consultant: "This isn't a profession; it's a racket." Many old corporate hands hoot at the whole business and its many fuzz-cheeked practitioners, recall that the affairs of one consult ant got so snarled up that the firm hired another to come in and tell it what...
