Several attentive readers have written to point out that our Clinton fashion pin the April 13 issue could have used a bit of fine-tuning. A spelling gaffe was noticed primarily by our Texas subscribers: It's Neiman-Marcus, not Nieman-Marcus. If this were a Clintonian magazine, we would launch into elaborate explanations. Instead, we are forced to admit we were flat-out wrong.

One of our more upmarket subscribers -- whose husband owns 14 pairs of alligator boots -- thought our $ 650 price tag on President Clinton's alligator boots a sin against verisimilitude: "$ 650," she wrote, "is cheap, cheap, cheap!"

Not for this president. For that kind of money, you could probably talk to Robert Bennett for a whole 68 or 69 minutes.
