So far as I recall, it didn't upset other members of my middle-class Catholic family, since the only record player was in the dining room, where anyone could hear or overhear the LPs, and nobody gave me an angry shout to turn that junk off. So, by applying contemporary community standards (our house), I'd rule that Lenny Bruce was not obscene...
Just when you thought shoulder pads and leggings had gone the way of those old Madonna LPs, the decade of greed roars back into fashion. For fall, designers are layering on leggings, wide belts and baggy sweaters. "Leggings give everything a sleek, modern look," says Ken Downing, fashion director of Neiman Marcus.

EMI Music vice chairman David Munns says that's O.K., and likens the change to the situation in days of yore when 45 r.p.m. records and LPs thrived simultaneously. "People go in and buy the single and a couple of other tracks, then they come back and buy the whole album. We're not frightened of any of that.
