...Kendall's colleague Nicole Seligman and Mickey Kantor. Each morning the inner circle met by conference call, with out-of-body participation by Kantor, calling in from Hong Kong. The instincts of Kendall had always been for Clinton to say as little as possible for as long as possible. None of the more political-minded advisers, such as Kantor and Bennett, could overcome Kendall's doctrine that no news was good news.

...campaign, he was asked how he had managed to avoid the draft. "I was just lucky, I guess," he replied (twinkle, twinkle). Only later, of course, did we discover that luck, as Mae West might have said, had nothing to do with it.

But although none of the attendees of the fall couture shows were prepared to say the outfits were ridiculous--as usual--some were prepared to say the women were nearly naked. Nipples were one of the biggest accessories, and definitely the least expensive. The mad lads from Britain--Alexander McQueen for Givenchy, far left, and John Galliano for Christian Dior, middle left--were up to their usual high jinks, but they were usurped in wackiness by even newer kids with scissors--Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren, middle right...
