...style or fashion. The clothes appeared to be a hodge-podge of no-name designers from a variety of seasons. The Fashion Association of Boston had to rely on alternate events such as a body image discussion panel and art and photography exhibits to stretch out the week's meager fashion offerings.

In a joint project, the two media giants (and veteran reporter Peter Arnett in particular) alleged that American troops used nerve gas in Laos in 1970 despite the report's meager sourcing and despite the strong objections of many who knew what actually happened...
