...boys, and then, without transition, starts idly toeing a soccer ball toward them, again in that curious slow-motion way he has, his body doing not the act itself but the slo-mo replay. The photographers click away. Dukakis, one thinks, may have made a mistake -- in his outfit, with his large head, he looks like Charlie Brown, and something in his almost rueful body English suggests that Lucy is about to snatch the ball away again just as he kicks. Unfair: a reporter remarks, "This is part of Dukakis' relentless search for a constituency shorter than himself...
Blazakis has identified more than 300 photographs taken since 1982 showing Mrs. Reagan wearing outfits by such couturiers as Galanos, Hayes, Bill Blass and Adolfo. He has estimated prices for each outfit. A buyer for a leading department store independently verified the Blazakis estimates on a representative sample of 80 of these photographs.

"They are gut-wrenchingly honest," says apology-line operator M.J. Denton. But that's just for starters. On another number, callers pay $2 for the first minute and 45 cents a minute after that...
...like a big fashion show," says Dana Irvin, a senior at the Springboro, Ohio, High School. "You have to dress nice to fit in, and I guess there's a lot of pressure to remember when you last wore an outfit. If you can, it's best to wait three weeks before you wear an outfit to school again." This creates double trouble for Gina and Jeanine Vermillion, twin sisters who are starting their freshman year at suburban St. Louis' Selvidge Junior High School. "Each one coordinates her own outfit because everything's got to match," reports their mother...
