Her love of texture, flair for structure and ease with knitting needles has gained a following that has included Julia Roberts, Paulina Porizkova, Sarah Jones, Rosie Perez, Lauryn Hill, Benjamin Bratt and Tricky, to name a few trend-spotters. The "knittress" prides herself on giving customers the personal touch. "Because knitwear follows the line of the body, and every body is different, getting a knit garment in proportion to your size and shape is a must.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt '40 died of a cerebral hemorrhage toward the end of World War II. And, most recently, President John F. Kennedy '40 was assassinated while in office. Of course, Reagan disrupted the trend by surviving his 1981 assassination attempt, only 69 days into office. The bullet lodged itself within a centimeter of his aorta, and only modern medicine saved him. (Instead, his theatrical grace and wit during the assassination incident caused his popularity to soar...
