...clothes is scarcely indigenous to Texas, but there are, as so often happens in the state, regional exaggerations. One of the supreme moments of a rich young girl's life is her debut-year tour of the festivals: the Battle of the Flowers Parade in San Antonio, the Texas Rose Festival in Tyler, the Buccaneer Days in Corpus Christi, where the girls are wheeled around on carts while hoi polloi pay to watch the spectacle. These dresses, talismans of youth and beauty, are preserved forever, or until they take up too much house room. Museums cannot take them...
...Oaks Garden Club's annual pink-elephant sale probably seems like a suitably high-class recipient. A new-money customer, ordering three pairs of $1,530 slacks, giggled as she described taking one of her old Galanos dresses off to the sale. "One of the girls sent in her Rose Festival dress.

Escapist the experience undeniably is, but Aren't We All? could not bear the weight of added incident...
...outcry, Reagan admitted, has been the sharpest personal criticism he has received since the 1966 election in California when there was an attempt to portray him as anti-Semitic. "And I must say, the Jewish community of California rose to my support because they knew very much different and they knew of many things that I had done that revealed the lie of that. But this, yes, has been very painful, because no one has said oftener than I have that we must never forget and that the Holocaust must always be remembered with the knowledge that it must never...
