Magazines, Galanos feels, are running wild with accessories. "When Vogue shows chandelier earrings with a sports coat, which is what they are doing most of the time, rules are being broken-without a sense of beauty-all for the sake of the picture. But a reaction is beginning to set in. Magazines are getting letters from people saying they are tired of seeing models undressed and sitting on Johns...
...consequence in the U.S. that makes an effective judgment of what is morally in or out of bounds. Legion officials note that many Protestants follow its ratings, which are carried by some secular newspapers, and that Hollywood producers will grudgingly excise scenes or dialogue in films for the sake of a better rating.

("Wind doesn't ride, for god's sake," says the spoilsport, "it BLOWS.") But Wolfe's dedication to the minute is real enough, and extremely articulate. He is fascinated by California where the Free-way has broken up the quantitative thought patterns of Western Civilization by forcing men to measure distance by time rather than miles. He chronicles...
