...doctoring its products for taste, color and texture at the expense of purity and quality. Claiming that the industry adds unnecessary and possibly dangerous ingredients to foods, he charged it with endangering the health of the American public. Said Nader: "The silent violence of harmful food products ranges from minor discomforts to erosion of bodily processes, shortening of life or sudden death...
Nineteenth century French painting has never fitted neatly into art historians' annals. It was a century of variety and contradictions, blessed with an embarrassment of riches.

His lace and or gandy blouses, gingham dirndl skirts and big-brimmed straw hats have turned teeny-boppers into minor Elvira Madigans. This spring it was the patchwork look-on full-length skirts and matching shawls-that put new life into quilting bees and earned for Adolfo a Coty Award. Last week he presented his fall collection: jeweled vests with fringe to the floor, blown-up fur berets and scarves, including everyday kerchiefs, monogrammed boas and a nine-foot muffler of patchwork mink...
