Burger was particularly upset by an incident in October. A woman lawyer about to argue a case told Court Clerk Michael Kodak, "All I own are pantsuits. Should I go out and buy a dress?"

Stewart, the rooster of vaudeville rock, prances about the stage in pomp and plumage.

...blue jeans with a LOVE patch sewn on his backside, a KEEP ON TRUCKIN' T shirt stretched across his chest, and a fuzzy tam-o'-shanter perched on his head. He is squeezing the hand of his girl friend, a teased blonde in a Day-Glo orange pantsuit and sequined glasses, carrying a suitcase-size black patent leather handbag and a bag of candy. They crunch along through the litter of wrappers and handbills toward the star attraction, the dazzling Muzi-Kart, a customized 1933 Willys...
