...enterprising firms have picked up where the publishers fall short. In January, a San Francisco outfit called the Computer Hand-Holding Co. began offering a $100-per-month service that guarantees personal assistance with 40 popular programs. Micro Support Resource Corp. in Atlanta goes one step further. Its $100 yearly fee entitles subscribers to have their problems solved by an IBM System/36 minicomputer...
...number with a peekaboo keyhole shape cut from below breast to just below the navel. For her own daughter's wedding last January, Yolanda ran up a gown of white leather, python skin, fox, mink, Swakara and gold cloth with a complementing jacket of Russian golden sable. Such an outfit might seem a little . . . well, declamatory, but it was certainly of a piece with the proceedings, whose wintry "theme" was Doctor Zhivago. The bride and bridegroom greeted reception guests from a bejeweled white velvet sleigh custom-made by the bride's father. Cost of the festivities, including...
...equally fervid. Swimmers boasted of laps completed, cyclists of long-distance touring, and weight lifters of pounds pressed. Today Americans live in a land where fit is proper. Strut your sweat.

The prototype runners below offer a look at the characteristics and habits of that new U.S. animal, Homo exercens americanus...
...influenced by Louis Dell'Olio, but it would be equally impossible to find an Italian leather blouson that is not derived in some way from the rumble-ready splendor of an American black leather motorcycle jacket. Paris' Claude Montana appears almost invariably in some combination of the same basic outfit: jeans, T shirt, a hooded sweatshirt and a nylon military jacket lined in phosphorescent orange. Montana may make some of the hottest duds on the runways, but he looks strictly made in the U.S.A...
After the winter, the circus bestirred itself like an animal and hit the road. There were kinks to be worked out, sore joints and what have you, but nothing that could not be attended to on the circuit. The outfit made a pretty sight crossing the Red River on the highway from Hugo, Okla., where it holes up between November and March, to Paris, Texas, where the show would open the 1986 season. They numbered among them 80 brightly painted vehicles, 250 colorful people, a hippo, a rhino, a giraffe, assorted lions, tigers, llamas, horses, donkeys, zebras, elephants and goats...
