Peace on earth. World peace. Those phrases have been used so often they’ve become part of the popular lexicon.

I’m not a wearer of fur myself, but that’s not because of any great cause; it’s just not my style. (I don’t hunger after diamonds either—to me they are only white rocks—give me rubies, sapphires, and emeralds. They have color and character.) However, I do believe that if you want real fur and […]
