CLOTHES. I like to combine things but in a humorous way, like a uniform skirt and fishnets. Sometimes I like really expensive things. I like Vivienne & Westwood, Commes des Garcons and Jean Paul Gaultier. But I get a lot of stuff in thrift shops too. I really love dresses like Marilyn Monroe wore, those '50s dresses that were really tailored to fit a voluptuous body. A lot of stuff made now is for an androgynous figure, and it doesn't look good on me. I have always sort of elaborated with my dance clothes. I used to live...
...what we jointly planned, we will deeply offend the feelings of our people. There are letters on my desk that are heartrending outcries. A woman wrote how her 17-year-old brother was picked up and taken away with his classmates by military authorities and put into an SS uniform in which he was later killed. The Germans consist of more than minds. They also have hearts and souls...
...Bulow, who maintained an imperious aloofness during the first trial, seems to have undergone image surgery.

A Commission on Training Camp Activities was created with the objective of not only cleaning up the extra-curricular activities of the soldiers but using the American military...
...campaign appealed to patriotism and manhood when hygiene warnings did not succeed. Brandt finds a contemporary speech spouting. "Any man with enough nerve and backbone to wear the uniform of the United States soldier is perfectly able to live a normal healthy life without intercourse throughout the war and afterwards." Accounts of almost 30 percent of military men with venereal disease convinced the Navy to remove all warship doorknobs as a preventive measure one war-time year...
