[ih] vint's 3 piece suits

[vinton cerf]

Actually, if anything, it was a protest against excessive uniformity. I did
not want to look like everyone else and just be one in a crowd. So I
decided to dress differently. And the choice of tie, sports coat and slacks
could not possibly have produced much objection from the faculty. Van Nuys
High was not a "uniformed" school. And can you imagine the consequences if
they tried to "retaliate" against my dressing more formally than my
classmates? :-)))
