...paid no attention, and in an unprecedented maneuver hailed by budget-minded women the world over, wore the dress at least twice more in public, instead of handing it over straightaway to the Smithsonian Institution. Miss Treyz explained mildly: "The Nixons are middle-American people who don't want to be flash-in-the-pan. They don't want to be jet-setty or way out. Mrs. Nixon must be ladylike." To this end, Clara Treyz advises, with Pat's consent, clothes that tend toward the bland and predictable, styles that hover on that precarious border between...
...color, pinks and pale greens are favored, and fans of those shades call them soft and feminine. Women's Wear Daily calls them "icky-poo pastels." Miss Treyz also confirms Mrs. Nixon's inbred frugality: "I want her to get her money's worth," she says.

Now it appears Freud may have known all along, not as the pioneer of a revolutionary new approach to the human psyche...
...music and life is to try to keep things simple and natural. Personally, this means as much freedom and informality as possible within a framework of intense professional discipline. The group could use a leader and front man but does not have one because, as they explain, "nobody wants the job." Musically, the new style means little or no showmanship and as little jiggering around with electronics as possible. "When people make records now," points out Robbie, "they make things very bright. If you want to hear everything, turn up the treble. We decided not to do that. Whatever sound...
