Only a shade subtler is the Scope campaign, which opens with a man in a T shirt emoting into his mirror: "Boss, you could fire me for this, but you have bad breath. BAD BREATH!" Then, anguished minutes later, the employee is in the office and begins, shakily, "Boss," only to be interrupted, mercifully, by the boss's fragrant announcement: "Johnson, I have discovered a new mouthwash...
Scandalized, the London Daily Mirror was spluttering: "Tight satin corselettes, bunny scuts and furry ears, bulging breasts and thighs-the ultimate in American vulgarity." Summing up, the Mirror snipped: "Princesses and bunnies don't mix." Well, they really didn't have to mix much at the Dockland Settlements Society's charity ball in London's Savoy Hotel.

Snagged & Blinded. CaterineMilinaire wears a mirror-top dress; Charlotte Ford was last seen wearing silver-embroidered ivory lace with matching boots.

When an iron cash register stood proof against her hatchet, she lifted it overhead, carried it outside and smashed it on the street...
...Flexibility. Volkswagen is also puzzled over how to design an impact-absorbing steering column for its boxy Microbus, since the column is nearly vertical. One especially irksome item is a rear-window defroster. France's Renault complains that such a device would be "superfluous," since an outside mirror does the job adequately. An impossibility in many very small cars, such as Britain's Mini-Minor, is a requirement to have the front seat set back far enough so that in a collision passengers' heads will not snap down to the dashboard. One solution: shoulder as well...
