...Scholl's exercise sandal, a wooden-soled scuff with the added attraction of a raised ridge at toe level, which is designed to slim ankles and strengthen leg muscles. The Scholl sandals tend to pitch the wearer forward, but Cecil Beaton does not care. Neither do Scholl-shod Jackie Onassis, Jean Shrimpton and all of England's Royal Ballet Company. Greta Garbo clomps around sidewalks in Swedish clogs; so do Dustin Hoffman and the trapeze troupe from Ringling Bros, circus...
...beards, jeans, sandals and other casual clothes supported the relatively moderate program of the S.D.S. regulars to extend their efforts to high schools as well as to organize community-action projects in poor neighborhoods. Their Marxist challengers, the highly disciplined Progressive Labor Party radicals, were generally neatly barbered and shod, some even wearing suits and ties.

Because of his short stature (5 ft.), he likes to stand on boxes to deliver his speeches. On visits to his troops, he is liable to shuck his uniform, four-starred helmet and all, and show up dressed conspicuously in civilian clothes. He is a ruthless taskmaster, utterly contemptuous of the value of human life-even that of his own troops. "Every minute, thousands...
