GERTRUDE SINGER'S upstairs shop on Church Street has the highest prices in the Square, but go and you'll see why. She carefully selects the best of the au courant; such as the silk coat and dress ensemble ($240). She believes in capes and capelets for everything, and only a few of these are under $100; one silk raincape is only $70. Her jumpers and jerkins, summer dresses (including Ann Fogarty) and suits are ust barely accessible. It must be emphasized that no other store in the area carries such consistently fashionable, unHarvard Square-like clothing...
...boots, just the getup for a tropical beach scene. And the result was practically chichi. Her two-month seclusion with Playboy-friend Bob Zagury seems to have agreed with her. She's put on a little weight, is golden brown, and looks relaxed and natural even when not au naturel. "I'm much better this way," coos BB. Si, si, agree 77 million Brazilians...
Thomas Webb, a Washington representative for the Murchison family of Texas, told the committee that in 1961 Baker was responsible for finding a buyer for meat for the Murchison-bankrolled Haitian-American Meat & Provisions Co.

Geneva's headwaiters beamed indefatigably last week as pealing nightclub and restaurant cash registers heralded the return of the 17-nation disarmament conference after a five-month recess. Their euphoria even infected the café au lait-colored Palais des Nations, where some 200 reassembled officials settled back into their bronze and green leather chairs-as usual, leaving three seats vacant for nonattending France-and prepared for the sixth antiwar jaw session since the disarmament conference got under way in 1962. Buoyed by last August's partial test ban treaty, most Western and neutral negotiators expected action this...
...Public Eye has the edge in freshness and invention. Mr. Cristoforou (Barry Foster) materializes in an austerely elegant London office lined with muted leather bindings. Against this background, Cristoforou is a sartorial explosion of black and brown stripes, flaming yellow tie, a café-au-lait shirt, off-beige shoes, and foreign correspondent's raincoat. He is also a walking menu of odd goodies. Out of his pockets and briefcase, he dredges and devours bananas, Brazil nuts, cartons of yoghurt and handfuls of macaroons, while flourishing an empty sugarcellar. A Greek by descent, and a private detective by happenstance...
