A single passage by Evelyn Waugh in Labels is more than enough to justify all that roaming around that so many did: "I do not think I shall ever forget the sight of Etna at sunset; the mountain almost invisible in a blur of pastel grey, glowing on the top and then repeating its shape, as though reflected, in a wisp of grey smoke with the whole horizon behind radiant with pink light, fading gently into a grey pastel sky.

The city's raffish main street, Tu Do (Freedom) has been renamed Dong Khoi (General Uprising), commemorating the Communist takeover...
...imagination and some bullion, does anything but turn a woman into an honorable schoolboy. The clothes are neat, crisp, classic; with various permutations, they can be romantic and understatedly sexy. The time-honored Fair Isle sweater, for example, now comes in bright, balletic colors as well as the traditional pastel yellows and blues. Madras jackets and Bermuda shorts now sport divers hues unknown in Madras. The shirtwaist dress has gone from demure to dashing. Add such touches as paisley bow ties, rainbow-hued knee socks, grosgrain headbands and Liberty scarves, and the viewer begins to wonder what kind of school...
