...current surge of voyaging voyeurs, Trips is trying a different style and message. Call it discomfort chic. Published by the khaki-clothing chain Banana Republic, Trips is for the wanderlusty adventurer accustomed to sharing hotel space with all manner of wildlife. Editor in Chief and Banana Republic Founder Mel Ziegler, a former newspaper reporter, dismisses most travel writing as "dull and antiseptic" and describes his entry as the equivalent of a "bunch of friends at a dinner table swapping really good travel tales." The inaugural issue has more ads for Jeeps than jewels, and few ads of any kind that...
...also some troubles in paradise. Lawyers for Conde Nast's Traveler will be appearing in Manhattan federal court this week to respond to a lawsuit by National Geographic's quarterly Traveler charging that the overall appearance of Evans' magazine is strikingly similar to National Geographic's publication. At Trips, Ziegler denies that hard times in the parent clothing chain will trim the magazine's sails.

Both have spoken in the most vicious derogatory terms of RN in the place where you really find out what the people think -- the Georgetown cocktail parties . . . From now through the election, neither Sidey nor Osborne is to be included in the news summary regardless of what they write, positive or negative . . . I am now ordering . . . that Osborne and Sidey...
...President probably meant the old Federal City Club, rendezvous of White House correspondents for hilarity and bad food. After another of those miserable Ziegler briefings, the gang would trudge across Lafayette Square giving the anatomy of Andrew Jackson's rampant bronze horse an insult or two, then pull up in the club dining room and on evil days have a martini, maybe two. About then our natural leader, Peter Lisagor of the Chicago Daily News, would shout, "Okay, boys, let's cut 'em up." There followed golden hours of bombast, insult, vituperation and disparagement aimed at Presidents, editors, academics, clergymen...
