Your recent article on the British schoolgirl's uniform annoyed me intensely. There is nothing smarter than a box-pleated gym slip, fresh white blouse and colored tie.

...live wire who works in his father's office and is obviously going to make out. The middle one is a girl (Shirley MacLaine) and pretty enough to keep the porch glider occupied almost every night of the week.

This policy may constitute a step toward racial suicide, however noble it may appear in the light of our religious convictions and present-day ethics...
