Fortunately, vigorous objectors abound in Manhattan. Last month the brand-new International Council of Legmen issued its first public manifesto. Major aim of "this dedicated group of gam aficionados: to establish a unified voice on fashion decisions relating to female leg exposure." Says Council Chairman Thomas Redington: "Designers are paying too little attention to legmen. We're going to change all that, even if it takes some high-pressure lobbying." Already, letters have gone out to all members of Congress; Legmen predict large-scale support...
April. The company's electronics division has not lived up to its billion-dollar promise. Two weeks ago, North American Rockwell put the division's brand-new, $23 million plant at Laguna Niguel, Calif., up for sale. Next day, J.

The result of their talks created the first great occasion at the Met since it opened its season after a disastrous delay-a brand-new production of Cav and Pag (Cavalleria Rusticana and Pagliacci), opera's beloved twin chestnuts, flossily refurbished. Though Bernstein's demanding schedule only permitted him to conduct Cav (Met Conductor Fausto Cleva did Pag), the night promised to be one to remember. Bernstein and Zeffirelli, after all, in 1964 had helped turn the Met's Falstaff into the recent decade...
