...midi-dress and the maxicoat, harem pants and bolero jackets-all are credited to Adolfo. His lace and or gandy blouses, gingham dirndl skirts and big-brimmed straw hats have turned teeny-boppers into minor Elvira Madigans. This spring it was the patchwork look-on full-length skirts and matching shawls-that put new life into quilting bees and earned for Adolfo a Coty Award. Last week he presented his fall collection: jeweled vests with fringe to the floor, blown-up fur berets and scarves, including everyday kerchiefs, monogrammed boas and a nine-foot muffler of patchwork mink...

GREEN IS HONEST. It paints the student in the patchwork mix we all live. We hope we are against the war for better reasons than that we are scared, and we hope that we want sex for other reason than fucking itself. But there is a dualism of high values and a debased reality in a lot of what we do. Our response to this dual nature may take the radical form of blaming corporate power for the evil we live, but this is often self-deluding and hopelessly illogical. In one scene of Greetings, a man is selling...
