...third level, jeans are reasonably priced-if not downright cheap. Lees, for example, makes a velvet-corduroy version for $11 that comes in a dozen colors, is available either straight-legged or bell-bottomed, and is slow to sit out or bag at the knees. There is another advantage. Jeans were originally cut only for men and, inexplicably-despite mass sales to women-still are. Thus there is a choice in length of leg along with waist size, making alterations virtually unnecessary...
Meanwhile, Sumner Redstone. loyal alumnus that he is, was getting ready to do his little bit as he once more rehearsed his speech, while his wife struggled into the purple velvet knickers in which she would greet all those personal friends, friends from Newton and Brookline and Needham Heights that had been thoughtfully given a chance to see Mr. Redstone at his absolutely finest hour...
There is a creche in the East Room, and the White House halls are decked with boughs of holly-not to mention thousands of massed poinsettias, hundreds of velvet bows, swags of greenery, four 50-inch wreaths and doubtless, somewhere in all the profusion, a pear tree complete with partridge (stuffed).

What made him decide to have the show? "You can give just so many away. Friends really don't want any more...
...vainest and most powerful woman in France to create an appropriate tribute to herself. The result -more than a score of enormous panels-now fills a whole room of the Louvre. There visitors are free to ramble past acres of pearly, naked flesh and hectares of jewels and velvet, observing Marie, attended by nymphs, monsters, peacocks, courtiers, gods, satyrs and angels, as she makes a near mythological progress from a shaky Italian girlhood to the role of Queen Regent for Louis XIII. This huge book-the year's most fabulous-acquaints the reader with the history and shows...
