If it was news, it was probably a T-shirt. From Operation Desert Storm to Magic Johnson's sad announcement to the William Kennedy Smith rape case, scores of headlines found their way onto people's chests last year. "T-shirts give people the opportunity to comment on an issue that everyone knows something about," said Richard Martin, curator of an exhibit tracking the year's headlines via the lowly T.

The "T-Line" exhibit, opening Tuesday at Manhattan's Fashion Institute of Technology, highlights about 40 of the year's trendiest T-shirts. Patriotism seems to have been the most fashionable issue. Martin and co-curator Harold Koda collected a dozen or so different Desert Storm shirts, dripping with American flags, yellow ribbons and patriotic slogans. They were serious and supportive, but humor biting, satirical and at times obscene is a more common message. "Save Pee-wee" shirts bearing a cartoon likeness of Pee-wee Herman cropped up immediately after actor Paul Reubens' arrest on indecent exposure charges last July.

Some versions featured double entendres. Scandal was a hot T-topic in '91. The Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill hearings sparked a risque shirt. Reports of a Nancy Reagan-Frank Sinatra dalliance inspired a sexy likeness of the former first lady in a skintight dress and white boots. The William Kennedy Smith rape case prompted a "Will and Ted's Excellent Adventure" shirt, referring to Sen.

Edward M. Kennedy. That shirt called itself "the official Kennedy sex scandal T-shirt." One of the most touching T-shirts pictured Magic Johnson and said, "We still love you." "That one showed up on the streets in Los Angeles the day after he made his announcement" that he was HIV-positive, Koda said. i. in ytfi S' fij 3 4 Mark HertzbergMournal Times A tentative skater.
