Horrors! Is TIME trying to start a new look in fashion by leaving the last button on its double-breasted blazer unbuttoned? I heartily applaud the resurgence of the Double-B style, but I feel obliged to point out that no Double-B man who is worth his brass would leave a button unbuttoned...
Reporter Wolfe, in fact, rather fancies himself a sociological trail blazer who is hacking his way through the subculture pop worlds that he feels are molding the U.S. scene.

...School Tie, it is often hard to tell whether he is spoofing the upper-crust Briton or simply being one. On his travels, like any Blimp setting off on safari, he packs his portmanteaus with sartorial accouterments for every conceivable occasion: white flannels for tennis, plus fours for golf, blazer for cricket, bowler, boater and deerstalker, tweeds, pinstripes, tails.

Maybe, for Venturi, it was the last day of the 1960 Masters, when he was half-carried away from the 18th hole, measured for a green winner's blazer, and plunked down in front of a TV set-to watch Palmer birdie the last two holes and win. Things certainly went from bad to worse after that. He was plagued by a series of bizarre physical ailments: a pinched nerve that paralyzed half his chest, a stubborn virus infection, a hand injury, an automobile...
