Capes still enchant most Cambridgiennes, and fortunately an attractive variety has appeared on the market in recent months. ADELE BRAGAR has a narrow, waterproof cape with detachable epaulettes and big brass buttons in khaki poplin ($20) and in lovely blue corduroy. ($24). Most stores carry several good styles, but GERTRUDE SINGER'S cape collection remains unsurpassed in Cambridge. In Boston, FILENE'S is showing some striking models in pastel wools with shoulder button closings...
Perhaps it is not so far-fetched after all. McNamara, 47, is not likely to get the votes of the Pentagon brass, but he has built up a substantial reputation for himself in the past three years.

We're all for keeping the girls safe over term-break. But why uproot them so? And why that...
...reform, a basic concern of any African revolutionary leader. Last week, Karume announced that the huge, Arab-owned clove and coconut plantations on the main island would be "reallocated." Also nationalized were the shops and houses of Stone Town, from the tops of their Moorish-styled roofs to their brass-studded mahogany doors. All of this could only please the black majority on whom Karume bases his popularity. Equally pleasing was his crackdown on those bastions of squash and snobbery, the clubs. Visiting British Commonwealth Relations Secretary Duncan Sandys was sipping tea in the English Club at the very moment...
