...originals and restoring them. And the spare, functional furniture from the '50s has been getting so popular that upscale stores featuring it have sprung up in Manhattan's trendy meat-packing district and on the equally fashion-forward La Brea Avenue in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Ikea and Crate & Barrel have begun producing knockoffs for the mass market. The taste for things '50s-ish has also seeped into fashion (haven't you noticed all those sweater sets and pleated skirts?) and industrial design (wait till you get a look at the finlike taillights planned for future Cadillacs...

...week before the election, ol' Fritz is in a tussle with bounding Bob, who wants to close up that pork barrel so tight that he votes against projects that benefit his own district. "He resents the government," says Hollings. "Ask him what has he done in Washington in the past six years but whine and complain and holler pork...
