...second week of spring and summer showings, Parisian haute couture managed to sashay back to the hip-flask era, blast off into far-outer space, and keep fashion pundits' necks swiveling as if they were covering an inter-aeon Davis Cup match...

But at Manhattan's Hospital for Special Surgery, X rays taken after air and dye had been injected into the joint showed that the main trouble was on the inside.

In the old days, when bitter pans were more the mode, the cast waited anxiously in the outer hall as the reviewer typed out his vitriol behind closed doors, handed his copy to the night editor, and left through the window. Now the cast simply moves its party into the newsroom at about 3 a.m., and many drop into the downstairs office to ask the reviewer how he enjoyed...
