...Britannia was Phillida Stone, an 18-year-old art student at Oxford whose father, Artist Reynolds Stone, was commissioned to design the new mauve, brown and blue fiver (worth $14).

Coterie to Custom. Every generation is convinced that manners are not what they once were and still should be; complaints about today's young people-who adamantly stick to their seats on buses and trains while sick old ladies lurch about on their feet-make up a good part of almost any dinner conversation.

Manners, says Amy, are largely a matter of custom: "In generations past, a small coterie of so-called society people set our manners. Most of today's fashion...
