...class revolutionaries, they tend to define success in terms of making a contribution to society rather than making money. "I think the most important thing I can do with my life is to use my education to help chicano communities," says John Gonzales. He hopes to work for a big-city newspaper covering Mexican-American communities. "I know both sides, so I can write as a liaison between the chicano and the white neighborhoods," he says. Education is "the key" to improving society, says Olga Mike, who dreams of becoming an opera singer, but will work first as a teacher...
...rooms, 30 private studios, two recital halls (including Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center's acoustically superb home for chamber music) and limitless vistas of plush, carpeted corridors and lobbies. There is also the thousand-seat Juilliard Theater. Its pop-up ceiling can be raised or lowered (up for big orchestras, down for small ensembles). Its pit stage is bigger than the New York State Theater's across the street...
MINK and sable, the Big Two of the fur world, can still be seen on the salon racks, regal as ever in traditional brown or black. But their luster is somewhat diminished this season by bright new competitors designed to make the fur-and the fur sales-fly.

Without examining the label, however, even a zoologist would have trouble identifying the newcomers. For the furs have become checked, striped, flowered and wholly...
Kaplan's colleagues are hard on his heels. Emeric Partos will not tamper in any major way with the Big Two: "A mink is a mink," he says with reverence, "and a sable is a sable, and I will not tear them, trim them or tuck them." Nonetheless, Partos has rimmed a black Alaskan seal cape with flowers made of 40 different ersatz shades of mink. Revillon Furs' designer Fernando Sanchez likes a long-haired mink, worn with the fur inside, that presents a hairless-though embossed-exterior...
Homosexuals with growing frequency have sought the anonymity and comparative permissiveness of big cities. It is this concentration of homosexuals in urban neighborhoods rather than any real growth in their relative numbers that has increased their visibility and made possible their assertiveness. According to the Kinsey reports, still the basic source for statistics on the subject, 10% of American men have long periods of more or less exclusive homosexuality; only 4% (2% of women) are exclusively homosexual all their lives. These may be inflated figures, but most experts think that the proportion of homosexuals in the U.S. adult population...
