David Trask, whose opulent The Leather Club boutique in Beverly Hills sells nothing but skins, points out that a well-chosen leather piece can be a pivotal garment. He explains: "Women can work with their old wardrobe by buying one pair of leather pants or a suede T shirt, and update their look for the next year...
Finally, Ashton claims that "Aeschylus and Sheridan, Feydeau and Joe Orton are ill-assorted companions"; this is nonsense, as anyone familiar with theatrical repertory knows. The ART season will include Shakespeare and Feiffer, Beckett and Beaumarchais; the Blaridge productions are, I think, similarly well-chosen.

Still, until recently, there was always an element of "fun" in the game--every time Dick popped out from under his California rock, you could, hoe him right back under again with a few well-chosen comments about the world's most powerful un-indicated co-conspirator, and all that. It was all good clean fun, with a generously self-righteous flair. Richard Nixon, whipping boy for the soul of America, actually did some good those four years. The man was a sparring partner...
