THE BODY POLITIC
I must respond with bewilderment to Susanna Moore's essay 'The Body Politic' (Style, Oct. 6). What is she saying? That we cannot be interested in the accomplishments of the First Lady but instead look to her to fulfill the 1950's sex-limited role as national paper doll?
In answer to the question Moore raises of trust in fashion, I think that Mrs. Clinton presents the image (hang on to your trust-o-meters) of the vibrant, beautiful and unabashedly intelligent woman she obviously is.
