...leather is New Yorker Carol Horn, whose comfortable, stylish clothes are priced on the low end of the scale. Her suede T shirts sell for $210; her most expensive entry is a ruffled suede dress for $322.

...Andre's sheer determination to spread his gospel of the surreal eggs Wally on to respond. It's hard to know exactly what sets him off.

Mr. Cohen reveals his bias immediately when he says, "the book's dust jacket...features two Catholic clergymen praising the book's analysis," and implies 'we should therefore conclude the book to be full of lies. Apparently Mr. Cohen still views the Church as a bunch of sinister wizards plotting to take over the world from the Vatican, a view which even most Protestant fundamentalists no longer hold...
