Unlike her husband, Dottie Blackmun proudly claims to be a "strict constructionist"-in the clothes designing she does as a creative hobby.

Mrs. Blackmun is excited about the probable move to Washington. "I'm going to have lots of fun because everywhere we go in Washington, I'll have to create a new outfit," she says.
