...They're one of the strongest teams in New England," Gurdal said. "We're more talented, but if we're spastic and inconsistent we won't stand a chance...
...President on October 21, when the subject turns to foreign policy. He will have a tough time keeping his smile when he has to rely on the Grenada invasion for 90 minutes as his sole foreign policy success. He could do little to defend his economic program-considered his strongest point.

The book also includes chapters of careful observation on history and tradition, fabric design, graphic display and body structure (illustrated with vintage photos of women who dive for fish outside a village east of Tokyo). "I make style out of life," Miyake says, "not style out of style." The roots of that life are beautifully revealed in a series of candid photos...
