...first 100 days: Honey, you ain't in Austin, Teaxs, anymore. So last month the First Lady hired designer Arnold Scaasi to spruce up her look. The choice is not exactly fashion-forward: Scaasi also dresses mother-in-law Barbara. But he vows to make Laura look "snappier," in vivid colors like turquoise ("tur-kwaz") and "a bright bottle green." (The red that Oscar de la Renta put her in, right, may be a foretaste.)

...billboard, and it doesn't say EAT JELL-O; it says TRY COCAINE. And your papers and your magazines ((would be)) full of attractive ads saying OH, HAVE A BALL, GET STONED ON COCAINE, YOU'LL NEVER TRY ANYTHING ELSE." Senator D'Amato earlier sardonically suggested some snappier slogans: "The weekend belongs to heroin," for example, or "This crack...
