...hilltop estate in Managua's El Retiro section. Nicaraguan generals, journalists and crew-cut American hucksters panting to sell prefab housing units milled about one day last week waiting for an audience with the general. Somoza's American wife Hope, a striking woman dressed in a red bandanna, print blouse and tight black slacks, directed Red Cross activities from beneath a shade tree. The mood was relaxed and restrained-even though 3,000 Managuans are known to be dead, another 4,000 were buried alive when the earthquake struck, and hundreds lie wounded. More than 120,000 still...
...quite. Poulin's Troop 416 is agonizingly unique, its membership drawn exclusively from the Hilltop School for retarded and deformed children. Each Friday morning the redoubtable patrolman dons his red bandanna and scoutmaster's cap and takes charge of 15 of the most heartbreaking youngsters in all of New England. One lad has only half a face, another is strapped into a wheelchair, several others are schizophrenic; most have an unfavorable prognosis. During one meeting, a boy who could not talk until Poulin formed the troop reads haltingly through the Scout oath, then breaks into happy shouts...
...sentiments as "It's forbidden to forbid" and "Humanity will not be happy until the last capitalist is hanged with the entrails of the last bureaucrat." The stone bust of Auguste Comte, the 19th century French philosopher-reformer who coined the term sociology, was draped with a red bandanna; a red flag adorned the statue of Louis Pasteur. Inside, in jampacked auditoriums, thousands applauded allright debates that ranged over every conceivable topic, from the "anesthesia of affluence" to the elimination of "bourgeois spectacles" and how to share their "revolution" with the mass of French workers. Speaker after speaker demanded...
...designers were not to be outdone at the Esquire-sponsored show. Bill Blass demonstrated his fondness for the military look with a heavy, maxi-length overcoat. For evening, John Weitz, a onetime race-car driver, showed a Levi-styled dinner jacket worn over a collarless shirt with a red bandanna knotted around the throat. Francis Toscani, who designs Botany-brand suits for a Philadelphia clothing manufacturer, aimed for versatility: the pocket panels of his fitted lounging coat were attached by Velcro strips and could be removed to convert the coat into a short Eisenhower jacket, presumably enabling the wearer...
...gardens overlooking the Pasig River, Johnson sat with a bright pink bandanna around his neck and a wreath of white sampaguitas-the Philippines' national flower-on his head, sampling suckling pig, barbecued crab claws, pickled papaya and coconut punch laced with rum. When the band struck up Hello, Dolly!, the President loped out onto the marble floor with Imelda while guests scrambled atop chairs and tables for a better view. Alone, the couple danced through one chorus, Lyndon lumbering around in his Texas two-step, Imelda crooning the words to him. Still alone, they danced to a second chorus...
