...Haute couture is opera. It is dreams and phantoms and magic," says Yves Saint Laurent, the Sun King of fashion. So it was last week at the showings of the French couture collections for autumn: high fashion had indeed become pure theater. Vanished was the sleek, pantsuited look that Saint Laurent himself once institutionalized, and his revolutionary peasant look of last year was transmuted into costumes more sumptuous, more fantastical, more opulent -and more expensive (typically $3,000 to $10,000 per outfit)-than ever before. Romanticism-from Saint Laurent's Oriental visions to Marc Bohan...
With so many changes in the works, the last thing the automakers need is an abortive start to the autumn selling season. Yet that is exactly what may happen if Congress does not amend the Clean Air Act before adjourning later this month. The car makers want a grace period before having to meet the strict auto pollution standards for 1978, claiming that present technology will not permit them to meet the goals without driving up gas consumption beyond the limits set by other federal laws.

I explain to her that Daddy doesn't strike out very often. But how can you get mad at fans when your own kids knock you? I leave my game at the park. When I go home to play with my kids, they don't care...
...date for Armageddon: "Today we have the evidence required, all of it. And it is overwhelming! All the many, many parts of the great sign of the 'last days' are here, together with verifying Bible chronology." That complex chronology ran like this: Adam was created in the autumn of 4026 B.C., which meant that 6,000 years of human existence would end in late 1975. The 6,000 years would be followed by the Millennium, 1,000 years of "Sabbathlike rest," just as God rested after six days of Creation and established the Sabbath...
