That darn Edith Pritchett




What's haute, what's naute [ Edith Pritchet letter

A gut punch. That's what I felt when I came upon Edith Pritchett's Feb. 3 cartoon, "The fashion philistine's guide to identifying haute couture." Many of the articles that led up to it were alarming, even frightening. I thank The Post for giving us the truth about the chaos unfolding in this country, but where was the courage in this cartoon choice?
