Clothes play a critical part in the conclusions we reach by providing clues to who people are, who they are not, and who they would like to be. They tell us a good deal about the wearer"s background, personality, status, mood, and social outlook. Since clothes are such an important source of social information, we can use them to manipulate people" s impression of us. Our appearance assumes particular significance in the initial phases of interaction that is likely to occur. An elderly middle-class man or woman may be alienated by a young adult who is dressed in an unconventional manner, regardless of the person" s education, background, or interests. People ten to agree on what certain types of clothes mean. Adolescent girls can easily agree on the lifestyles of girls who wear certain outfits, including the number of boyfriends they likely have had and whether they smoke or drink. Newscasters, or the announcers who read the news on TV, are considered to be more convincing, honest, and competent when they are dressed conservatively. And college students who view themselves as taking an active role in their interpersonal relationships say they are concerned about the costumes they must wear to play these roles successfully. Moreover, many of us can relate instances in which the clothing we wore changed the way we felt about ourselves and how we acted. Perhaps you have used clothing to gain confidence when you anticipated a stressful situation, such as a job interview or a court appearance. In the workplace, men have long had well-defined precedents and role models for achieving success. It has been otherwise for women. A good many women in the business world are uncertain about the appropriate mixture of "masculine" and "feminine" attributes they should convey by their professional clothing. The variety of clothing alternatives to women has also been greater than that a-vailable for men. Male administrators tend to judge women more favorably for managerial positions when the women display less "feminine" grooming-short hair, moderate use of make-up, and plain tailored clothing. As one male administrator confessed, "An attractive woman is definitely going to get a longer interview, but she won" t get the job. "

Washington/New York U. S. President Bush said on Monday that he wanted Osama Bin Laden "dead or alive" for last week's attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, but many of Washington's allies are cool on strikes against Afghanistan. Bush has named Laden as a prime suspect, though he has provided no evidence for his claim. Still, he had been building public support for military action and has warned Afghanistan's Taliban to give up Bin Laden. But the Taliban, which has warned of " holy war" in response to any U. S. attack, by Tuesday afternoon had given no indication of whether the man they call their "guest" would be handed over. On an unprecedented " Day of terror" , two planes smashed into New York's World Trade Center twin towers on September 11, putting them into ruins while explosions rocked the Pentagon in Washington, and the White House and State Department were evacuated. The attacks have left more than 5 ,000 people dead or missing. China has said it is ready to join international efforts in fighting "terrorism" but insisted that peace, not war, is the best option. In London, Blair declared it a "war between the civilized world and fanaticism" and determined to stand by an ally which aided Britain in two world wars . France, Germany and other, including Bussia, are also supportive. "The evil must be punished," Russian President Vladimire Putin said. "But we should not liken ourselves to bandit. " His defense chiefs have ruled out hosting NATO forces in former Soviet Central Asia or joining U. S. military action, although Moscow says it will help with intelligence.
