...more than the usual hubbub. The President, with a bravely smiling Betty Ford at his side, was all tricked out like a cocktail cowboy in a snazzy Western-style shirt suit of blue-gray flannel decorated with white saddle stitching. For some guests, Jerry Ford's new garb, a gift from friends, brought to mind his past uncertain flights of fashion. Greeting Japan's Emperor Hirohito last year on a grand tour of Asia, for example, the President was dressed in a cutaway-with his striped pants hiked several inches above his shoes and his socks showing...
Patty had little else to report as the days dragged on. Like the other inmates, she was awakened at 6 a.m., dressed in drab prison garb and then had breakfast, which usually consisted of juice, eggs, sausage and coffee. Patty's 9-ft. by 7-ft. cell adjoined a similar one occupied by Emily Harris; the two women talked and watched a black-and-white TV set in the hallway.

When Claudio's novitiate sister Isabella (Martha Henry) comes to plead for her brother's life in the white flowing garb of a nun, Angelo proves not to be what he seems...
Somehow the attempt to wrap the leaders of the Revolutionary War in radical garb seemed a bit forced. Post-World War II history has conditioned Americans to think of men like John Adams and Patrick Henry as politically stodgy as they appear in pictures in American history books, with their long powdered wigs and tight-fitting puritanical breeches. Our image of Thomas Jefferson, with his dreams of a nation of enlightened yeomen, is sullied by the picture of Lyndon Johnson sending B-52s to bomb the peasants of North Vietnam. The thought of Samuel Adams, fervently orating on the imperative...
