...face-size visors reminiscent of the welder's mask or bookkeeper's eye-shield. They were launched 18 months ago by Coty Award-winning Milliner Halston, who was inspired by the green eyeshield worn by his elderly seamstress. Soon they were shown by other designers (Rudi Gernreich, André Courréges, Paco Rabanne), but they did not catch on until this year. Suddenly they are everywhere: at the five and ten for $1, at Manhattan's Bergdorf Goodman (home of Halston...
...Paris last week, while a dozen ill-dressed followers waited anxiously in the hall outside his chamber, Judge André Laly tried to conduct a pretrial interrogation of the princess. What documents did she have to prove the existence of the inheritance? "I don't have any official documents," she explained. "That's why I founded the union-to find the documents." The weary judge concluded that the next step in the case would be a psychiatric examination. But this was not likely to discourage all the other Mallets. One scholar has concluded that the real Jean-Pierre...
...André Gide pointed out long ago from personal experience, there are several varieties of homosexuals that the heterosexual world lumps together but that "feel an irrepressible loathing for one another." Today in the U.S., there are "mixed" bars where all homosexuals, male and female, are persona grata; "cuff-linky" bars that cater to the college and junior-executive type; "swish" bars for the effeminates and "hair fairies" with their careful coiffures; "TV" bars, which cater not to television fans but to transvestites; "leather" bars for the tough-guy types with their fondness for chains and belts; San Francisco...

Now, long after the crusades in which he enlisted Albert Camus and André Gide into Les Compagnons de Garry Davis, issued Jawaharlal Nehru one of his "world passports" and transformed himself temporarily from a freak into something of a world figure, Davis is living in Strasbourg, France. The son of U.S. Society Bandleader Meyer Davis, he is still nobody's citizen...
...some there are who wander the world looking for what is like unto themselves," old André Gide once mused. "But there are others, and I am one of these, who seek above all strangeness in things." Poet Elizabeth Bishop is another one of these. For more than 30 years, she has wandered the five continents in search of the intractable, in search of a beauty unbefriending and the poetry of the passing strange. Travel is her profession, and her art is the art of snapshot. Her poems are bright slides that commemorate in gloating color and big-pored detail...
