The NYT reports that a "don't ask; don't tell" policy has descended upon Manhattan dinner parties with regard to talking about the war in Iraq. Safe subjects: Tony Blair's hair (going grey), Christine Amanpour's fashion sense ("How does she manage to look so good in a war zone?"), the French wine selection at the Kuwait City Marriott (could be better), and chem suits in fresh spring colors (orange is all the rage!).
Thank you for not talking about the war [NYT]
