Coaches may shudder at some of the lifestyles, but most take it in stride -though Cornerback Earsell Mackbee claims that he was cut from the Minnesota Vikings this season for showing up one day in a red lace jumpsuit, a fake fur maxi vest and a slouch hat. "Freedom to express your own personality makes for a winning team," says the 49ers' Ken Willard. "It's the swinging feeling around the clubhouse. A feeling that they're them and I'm me." His teammate Gene Washington, who grooves on $350 Oscar de la Renta suits, deplores...
Once there was a Vietnamese pilot-politician who wore a violet scarf with his jumpsuit, tossed off remarks about Hitler's good points, and generally seemed to make himself the personification of a great deal that is wrong in Saigon. Vice President Nguyen Cao Ky is no longer so psychedelic in speech and dress.

Soft hair and rimless glasses. In a knit jumpsuit that might have come from Bobbi Baker's she moves with her words...
...such company, of course, is conducting any such campaign. If it were, the campaign would obviously fail. In the two weeks since Manhattan's B. Altman & Co. first advertised its version of the peekaboo "linear jumpsuit," the store has been selling them so fast that it already has ordered 1,200 more. Other retailers report similarly spectacular sales. Customer comments range from the predictable ("It's divine" "It's the uniform for the '70s") to the profane (the garments fit so tightly that getting into one is a chore). Women who feel that the sheer suit...
