• I was all-state in four sports in New Jersey, but sometimes I couldn't get served at a restaurant two blocks from my high school.

There was a time when all we had was black baseball.

• When a new writer defends his "style," the teacher smiles (or cringes) because real style isn't an artifice. Real style - voice - arrives on its own, as an extension of a writer's character. When style is done self-consciously and purposefully it becomes affectation, and as transparent as any affectation - an English accent on an old college chum from New Jersey, for example.

• I've used a lot of jersey, but I've also done a lot of complex pattern weaves in these fabrics in solid colors, and there are lots of little dresses for cocktail and evening.

Today's woman can wear an important evening dress or a simple pant and top. It's all in the personality of the woman.
