A blaring rendition of Porgy and Bess paced his models at the Inter-Continental Hotel, and he described the Gershwin classic, now onstage in Paris, as the source of his inspiration and "the epitome of the American spirit ... modern, sexy, amusing and full of gaiety." Saint Laurent's focus on the American spirit may have been good business as well as good showmanship.

Freshmen now enjoy (or don't enjoy) their own seminars, their own living area, their own dining hall, their own parties, their own intramurals, their own squads in inter-collegate sports--including their own crew shells--and their own literary magazine. Ever since Henry C.
