>Last month, when winter sales were at their most inviting, Elaine Broadhead,
>the heir to a Chicago mail-order fortune, was exactly where she was brought
>up to be: at Neiman Marcus. But Broadhead, whose brassy auburn hair and
>black jeans make her appear much younger than her sixty-odd years, was not
>at Neiman's - the one on Washington's Wisconsin Avenue - to shop. She
>marched in a circle on the sidewalk and carried a picket sign. Along with a
>tiny band of animal-rights activists who were protesting the store's
>decision to stock fur coats, she could be heard shouting, "Compassion - not
>fashion!"

Peter, I'd have to say I'm not in favor of the idea of "animal rights."
