...means and worrying about her philandering husband and her drop-out kid. Steve, an incipient delinquent, steals his father's pocket change to gamble with the boys, plays hookey and perhaps commits arson. Steve will end up like his father, on the edge of the rackets, looking over his shoulder for the cops and the robbers. His brother Paul is harder to place; neither we nor anyone else knows where he is going. Though most of the plot concerns him and his failures, it flip-flops pointlessly, meandering as unsympathetically as the character himself "Don't downgrade yourself," his mother...

...swatch on her own hand loom, whipping up wild combos of silk, cotton and wool. "I found that I could sell the wildest fabrics for men if the style wasn't outrageous," she says. Barnes has a flexible definition of outrageous: in her first collections, she used curved shoulder pads while removing the conventional shoulder seam so that a jacket seemed to melt along the arm. For her line this fall, the intrepid Barnes is featuring overcoats of exotic tweeds. She is also reworking men's and women's jackets with knitted collars of complementary colors...
