...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." For eating hors d'oeuvres, "the right glove, at least, is removed or rolled back"; for dinner, "both gloves are removed completely." Particularly if there are chicken bones to pick...
Entering the first rotary intersection in the bazaar district, however, we saw a frightening sight. Looting had broken out during the mid-morning and the soldiers, aided by normal police forces, were firing at and beating looters in the street. On the opposite side of the intersection a hatless soldier was casually aiming his rifle, not at a looter, but at a family of Indians watching the scene from a fourth-story apartment nearby.

...latest Cuban crisis (see THE HEMISPHERE), but amid countless phone calls to advisers in Washington, Johnson met with top New York Democrats to talk about the coming campaign, lunched with the New York Times editorial board, and when he emerged, gave his Secret Service escort fits by bustling hatless and coatless in the wind and rain across 43rd Street to shake hands with well-wishers behind police barricades.

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. Cape Cod duckling...
There was also a touch of sentiment in Macmillan's journey to Stockton: it was there that young Captain Macmillan won his first seat in the House of Commons in 1924. Hatless in the chilly rain, Macmillan now roamed Stockton's streets, delightedly shaking hands and exchanging banter with tradespeople and old acquaintances. In his wake was the personable local Tory candidate, Barrister Gerald Coles, 28; he did not hope to win, for Stockton had been a safe Labor seat since 1945. What Coles, and Macmillan, hoped to achieve was at least a decisive second place over...
