...special favorite is the high-heeled, calf-topping black leather model with the rakish, lady-lion-tamer look. Its teetering heels may make it as impractical as a boot can get-certainly not the thing for fording slushy gutters or negotiating icy pavements. A lack of ice and slush makes the high-fashion boot seem even more impractical in Florida and California. But sexiness triumphs over practicality and weather...

Given these, he insisted, the U.S. could show a budget surplus in 1965 instead of the $12 billion deficit that Rocky...
Crimson fans who trudged through ice and slush to witness the opening round of the E.C.A.C. tournament in Watson think last night were treated to some of the most horrendous hockey seen at Harvard in some time. The varsity skaters did manage to stop Colgate 5-3, but a more dismal winning performance would be hard to imagine...
