...couldn't afford them. I started suffering." About his chimerical designer, De Mouy is philosophical: "I still wish him well. I felt he was much more made for costumes and couture than ready-to-wear. I wanted to consolidate Patou's position in the field in which he was strongest before tackling ready-to- wear...
...wasn't always that way. In fact, going into the 1980s, B.U. was one of the strongest teams in the East. Now, Northeastern is perhaps the top team in the nation, while B.U. has tumbled from grace...
...black or because his field was "too esoteric" or "too flaky" but rather reflected concern about the electability among the general, non-activist, in many cases conservative, alumni/ae population of someone who had sued Harvard University.

But never before have the party's two strongest candidates in the polls, as well as its two most adept performers on television, been protest candidates of a sort. Hart represents an entirely new species: for all the merit of many of his stands on issues, his candidacy can only be understood as a passionate protest against his self-inflicted political fate. In a sense, Hart is questing after a national pardon, but he is too proud...
