Patty had changed during her hegira. Not only had her long dark blonde hair been cut shorter and dyed red but she had lost her healthy, cover-girl looks. Her face was noticeably drawn. But she did not look or act like a victim who had been forced by her abductors to rob a bank and denounce her grieving parents and her fiance as "pigs" and "clowns." She was as casual as if she had dropped by to answer a traffic summons. She was wearing stained rubber clogs and dark brown cotton pants, and beneath her striped, long-sleeved jersey...
...willowy rancher meets rugged mountain man outfit: a traditional wife-beater and stripped oxford (open, of course—wouldn’t want Dusty to overheat in the prairie sun), macho-man Texas-sized belt buckle and jeans. His seemingly unwashed, stringy, chin-length, dirty brown hair is either tucked innocently behind one ear or wisping across his rugged, bearded chin. Dusty is sensitive. He probably plays the banjo and knows how to speak Cherokee. He’s the kind of wilderness man who will throw an old quilt his grandmother stuffed with genuine animal hair...
...Jane. Dear, sweet Jane. She’s a tawny, high cheek-boned, all-American kind of girl. She’s got chocolate brown eyes and windblown, I-combed-this-with-my-fingers and washed-with-tree-bark-herbs hair that really looks good wrapped in a simple leather string.

ALLOWED: Braids and cornrows, baldness (natural or chosen), dyed hair if it looks "natural" (no blue, pink or fire-engine red) and one cell phone, pager or digital organizer per person (but not all three). BANNED: Dreadlocks, colored contact lenses and, on men, visible body piercings or nail polish. Polish is O.K. for women, so long as it's not blue, black, khaki or--things really are changing...
...them are unhappy to see journalists; their colleagues are obviously chagrined that the local guard at the perimeter of the airport had cheerfully beckoned us in. The troops are holding a secret training session. The sas commander, a young man from the north of England with shaggy red hair, suggests that the airstrip is too dangerous for us, and offers, insincerely, to drop by for a chat later. His American counterparts make a brief appearance later in the day, side arms strapped to their thighs gunslinger style, and drive up to the headquarters of the local military commander...
