...nice-looking group. The men wore quiet ties and dark, well-fitting suits; the women, mostly hatless and coifed for the occasion, were in simple knits or tweeds, just the thing for the suburbs-even an appearance in court. These were the parents whose arrest for violation of a Connecticut statute against serving liquor to minors has sent a shock wave of there-but-for-the-grace-of-God-go-I across the country (TIME...
...because of etiquette. Even as "bold" and "modern" a social arbiter as Amy Vanderbilt, who last year went so far as to sometimes permit picking up chicken bones by hand (a custom she personally practices only at picnics), warns that "it is still not true that if one goes hatless, one also goes gloveless" and insists "they should be worn to complete a street or evening costume."

"What are you trying to do," demanded one concerned woman as Johnson approached, "scare everybody?" Johnson responded with a hearty "Hi, honey," and grasped her arm. Later he met with...
...worked hard for him nevertheless. A woman of enormous energy ("I can't bottle it up"), she bustled everywhere, pushed doorbells, inaugurated "Coffee with the Peabodys" in Boston parking lots, added "Lick the Opposition" Popsicles for the kids. When a milliner asked her why she went around hatless, Toni hurried away and bought 15 hats-just to prove that she was an ardent supporter of Massachusetts' millinery industry. She is an unabashed Massachusetts booster. At the inaugural dinner, for example, her menu consisted entirely of Massachusetts-produced foods: baked Essex clams, Suffolk celery hearts, roast.
