Repellent & Alluring. At 1 p.m. Zurich time, Modestini, Feidler and their 490-year-old companion boarded Swissair Flight 100. Ginevra occupied a $417 window seat. Beneath the suitcase tab was a dial, similar to those used on meat thermometers, indicating the temperature deep within the Styrofoam. "We checked her temperature every hour," says Feidler, who found it rising slowly but no faster than anticipated. "I would be less than truthful if I didn't say that I had apprehensions."

And St. Louis merchants, keeping tab on the exchanges, have concluded that most husbands think their wives are slenderer than they really are while mothers assume their daughters are too fat. Teenagers, of course, decide that the clothes their parents picked for them are fresh from the Dark Ages. Mod shops like "Man at Ease" in Chicago report a lively post-holiday business in gear bought with cash derived in part from the returns at Marshall Field...
