Kenzo Takada also scored a major breakthrough with his new collection. One of the originators of the Mao-now, peasant-chic look several years back, Japanese-born Kenzo, 38, has moved out of the Orient with clothes that suggest rollicking pirates (some of his models even wore black eyepatch-es), swashbuckling naval officers, and the Indians of the Raj, decked out in white duck and Nehru caps.

Oddly enough, the U.S. did have that capability in a limited form until 1975. The Pentagon had been developing a satellite inspector system (SAINT), but junked it before its first flight...
