Dashing as diplomats and espionage agents, grand as poets, even grander as kings, the British are notorious duds when it comes to fashion. Though endowed with better-than-average raw material, Englishwomen intent on clothes that set them off had to cross at least a channel, sometimes a sea, to find them...
...artist in his tuxedo has shrunken, a near-cadaver fills his loosely-fitting clothes. He is propped and cramped by the chair at his side.

Seeing no other choice, the prosecution finally allowed Weissman to plead guilty to second-degree manslaughter on the theory that he would still get a rap of up to 15 years. But the D.A. guessed wrong. Accepting Weissman's plea, State Supreme Court Justice Frederick Backer mulled over a psychiatric report and gave Mike Schaffer's killer 3½ to seven years...
