Pink Hats for Wooing. Among the busiest hustlers were the twelve Burmese delegates, all in their native garb of longyi (skirt) and gaung baung (pink gauze cap).

He pointed out that Burma's government-sponsored Foreign Investment Act, which is expected to be passed early next year, will open up the country's nationalized lead, coal, zinc, tungsten and tin mines to private operation on a lease from...

Inside are glass bookcases in which the books seem to float on air, tables whose color varies with the angle of view, an austere double bed. Asked to explain some of the items, blocky, bristly Ponti bubblingly obliged...
...Harbor are the.same ones who whip out the frothy fox trots at the coming-out balls in the fall, at the canopied weddings in June; two generations of debutantes have been presented, courted and married under the batons of such bandleaders as Meyer Davis and Emil Coleman. Perhaps the busiest of the musical blue bloods is a springy, raw-nerved little man named Lester Lanin, who believes that nothing in life is more important than serving good music to "society...
