...seem much better inside: thermostats must by law not be set above a chilly 65° F in offices. The best defense against 9-to-5 frostbite is clearly the layered look.

Women are snapping up fuzzy tights, pants rather than skirts, blazers and all kinds of sweaters, from shetlands and turtlenecks to cashmeres and one-of-a-kind bulky knits. Impulse buying is on the wane. "Shoppers are more money conscious this year," says a Chicago retailer. "They...

Each day at noon, he has faced an obstreperous crowd of 100 or so reporters in Room 2118 of the department's headquarters, fully aware that a slip on his part could provoke tragedy in Tehran. Nearly every night a portion of his performance is replayed on the network news programs. Precise, articulate and diplomatic for the most part, Carter has nevertheless managed to convey official outrage at the seizure of the U.S. embassy. His undiplomatic term...
...with Mark Cooley and Jim Phills crushing the competition at 190-lbs. and heavyweight once again. Cooley slapped Yates Exeley with a cross-face cradle to earn his second win of the year.
