...creating the clothes that she wears so well. Last week Brinkley was in Manhattan at the gala "label cutting" for her own Russ Togs line of swim and sport clothes due in department stores this fall. Wearing a man's pajama shirt and secondhand tuxedo jacket plus knit cotton pants she designed herself, Brinkley wants "to design clothes that are comfortable. These are not going to be skimpy bathing suits cut up to here. These are suits my mom can wear too." Considerate dads might want to go out and buy their wives a copy of Brinkley...
Neither Warner nor Rauch would suggest that they always agree on theater issues, or even that they agree most of the time. Even when they do agree, or seem to, their work turns out vastly different. Within the close-knit HRDC community, observers and friends agree emphatically on the main difference between the "Paul aesthetic" and the "Bill aesthetic," though they have different ways of putting it into words. Inevitably, there are partisans, as well as a fair number of people who are quite sure they could distinguish a Rauch or a Warner production if they were put down...
Baldly summarized, Wilson's work can sound arbitrary and pretentious. But far from being a melange of odds and sods, the CIVIL warS is a tightly knit, carefully planned work that uses visual, verbal and musical images the way Wagner used leitmotivs: to unify and clarify complex relationships among ideas and to weave of his various strands a single tapestry.

...charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of their 16-year-old foster son. The boy died of a ruptured appendix after days of agony; during that period the parents, both members of the Union Assembly, had not sought medical help. But neighbors of the Longs in the close-knit northwestern Georgia community were reluctant to testify, and in February a state judge dismissed the case. The dead boy's aunt, Glenda Eden, who complained about his suffering to the authorities, cannot understand the claims of religious liberty in such cases. Says she: "When it comes to letting little...
...society at large, some of the cruder forms of sexism can be sidestepped. Approaching a group of men gathered outside a strip joint or porno movie theater, a woman can simply cross the street. Vulgar sexism becomes far more threatening, however, within a close-knit campus, such as Harvard's, precisely because men and women are so closely intermingled--usually in an impressive display of peaceful coexistence. To realize that the same men who "joke" about pig feast may be the guys through the fire door, is to feel suddenly ill at case among what was thought...
