Elsewhere in The Netherlands, Architect Breuer was finding tougher going. His design for a modern U.S. embassy on the linden-tree-shaded Lange Voorhout in The Hague had the conservative Hagenaars up in arms. The building's slab fagade, with its overall pattern and trapezoid-shaped windows topped with matching panels of polished grey granite, looked to one of them like "a sponge cake," and, worst of all, had a suspicious resemblance to Rotterdam's new Bijenkorf...

No retailer in Father Varga's parish has so far turned the tagging committee away, though many have managed to keep their enthusiasm within bounds. "Of course we let them tag the dresses," said one Linden shopkeeper. "What are we going to do - commit business suicide? This is a 65% Catholic community." But one buyer in a large Manhattan department store declared that "some of [the Marilyke dresses] are so cute we've put them...
