A Plain White Wrapper

<p> McArthur Towels in Baraboo, Wis., thinks it has an answer to
the controversy over female reporters in pro-football locker
rooms. The company's recommendation: a cover-up. McArthur, which
supplies terry-cloth products to the National Football League,
has begun donating some 2,000 wraps and robes for all the
players on the league's 28 teams. The robes and the kilt-like
wraps, which are held around the waist with a Velcro closure,
come in white or the team color. "They are handy, I suppose.
They look nice," said Cincinnati Bengals head coach Sam Wyche,
who was fined by the N.F.L. last month after he denied a female
reporter access to the team's locker room. A problem has
emerged, however: the one-size-fits-all wrap isn't big enough
for five members of the Green Bay Packers in the 300-lb. range.
McArthur plans to custom-make some wraps for them with a bit
more room.
