...mini will fare in the office, among yuppies not known for frivolity, is a legitimate question. "A woman in the record industry wearing a miniskirt is one thing, but a woman district attorney pleading her case in the courtroom is another," says Sylvia Percelay, a designer at Bullock's in California. A bit defensively, designers insist that strong-shouldered jackets will instill the image of serious intelligence, despite the drafty little skirts. Few women buy that. "Power shoulders, power lunches maybe, but not power flesh," says Linda Aronson, 28, a marketing executive on Wall Street who will save her skimpy...
...kitchen baking brownies or chocolate-chip cookies. Or she could be in the fiber-glass hothouse picking peas, pulling chard. She might be off on her bicycle feeding cows. She may have gone to town to fetch dry goods. She is a firecracker in a pair of bluchers, a woman the shape of a cigarette, with energy to burn. Winifred runs to get a drink of water.

Much of the public seemed to agree. The Miami Herald's own opinion survey showed that 63% of its readers felt...
...Franklin D. Roosevelt through John F. Kennedy, were widely known to be conducting extramarital affairs, or suspected of it. Yet reporters for the most part avoided the subject in print. The belated disclosure of these affairs -- especially the reports of Kennedy's many sexual flings, including one with a woman linked to Mafia figures -- helped bring about the new climate. "The rules have certainly changed," says Washington Post Executive Editor Ben Bradlee, who covered Kennedy as a reporter and editor for Newsweek and became a good friend.
