Glazed Eyes. Cheray's Malcolm Starr gown-a flowing chiffon in lime green with one shoulder bared-was a stunner. So was the dress worn by young Washington Socialite Mrs. Eric Wentworth: flowing green chiffon, one shoulder bare. Then Mrs. John Hayes, wife of a Washington Post Co. vice president, also showed up awearing of the green (chiffon, one shoulder). As guest after guest floated in with the same model, smiles stiffened, eyes glazed. Fascinated, society editors began to keep score. They counted 15 to 20 women wearing identical or indistinguishable gowns (at $160 for the Starr silk-chiffon...
...seemed not too displeased to be counted among the Starrs. "I sat next to someone who looked like Joan Kennedy for five minutes before we both realized we were wearing the same dress," Cheray Duchin reported. "We laughed about it." Some of the laughter also came out slightly lime green. One woman reporter claimed that several guests repaired to the powder room to weep on one another's bared shoulder.

George Tolson of San Quentin wears an old green eyeshade when he interviews inmates ("It reminds them of the man behind the tables at Reno") and tells them: "I'm not here with answers. I'm just here to share with you what you've been going through." Colorado's Graham, like other chaplains...
Most motel chains depend on an easily recognizable similarity to attract customers: Holiday Inns, for example, all have bright green neon signs, and Howard Johnson motor lodges feature the familiar orange roof. One chain has made a virtue of being different, though, and hardly has two establishments that are alike. It is Treadway Inns Corp., whose 28 hostels include such disparate stopovers as Nantucket's 120-year-old Jared Coffin House, once a whaler's mansion, a modern downtown motel in the Treadway headquarters town of Rochester, N.Y., and an Alpine chalet in Franconia, N.H., known...
