A suit may now be a jacket with a pair of subtly contrasting sports trousers worn with a printed shirt and a zip-front vest. There should be no dictates, no rules...
South Carolina's Democratic Senator Ernest Hollings outlined his comprehensive alternative proposals in a letter to the President last week. Hollings later told a news conference: "He ought to understand that this is not a poker game with cards played close to the vest."
