Short (5 ft. 7 in.) and powerfully built, with a bowlegged, gangling walk, the blue-eyed, crew-cut McAllister looked like the all-American Butch -and had an all-American record. A careerman like most of his U.S. comrades in Viet Nam, he had been a hot jet pilot in Korea, had flown more than 100 missions and won the Distinguished Flying Cross. But his assignment in Viet Nam to the low-level chore of winkling out Viet Cong did not dim his enthusiasm. On the contrary, Mac made himself the most celebrated "Fac" in South Viet...
...began some eight years ago, when young Mary Quant, now, at 30, the doyenne of the, group, grew weary of wearing her cousin's castoffs, set up shop, sewing and selling her own designs. Instantly British teenagers, themselves weary of the butch look, flocked to the tiny Chelsea workroom, emerged looking more like Cossacks and guardsmen, sailors and hockey players. Audacious in concept, vivid in execution and realistically priced ($20 and up), Mary Quant's offbeat styles (a typical dress trimmed red flannel with black lace, included a striped bodice and a quilted hem) caused such a local...

Rouse is a hard-sound player who knows that his instrument suggests a human cry more than a bird song, and he plays as if he is speaking the truth. Warren's rich, loping bass is well suited to Monk's rhythms if not his harmonic ideals; he is like a pony in pasture who traces his mother's footsteps without stealing her grace. Riley has just joined the band, but he could be the man Monk...
...battle-fatigued Snow White who flees from the hurly-burly of life as a movie star to her place in Connecticut, and discovers six dwarfs and a dog living in a greenhouse at the bottom of the garden. Their names are Leo, Sherman, Dulcie, Amy, Brenda, Sonny and Butch. Leo is the grumpy one, and Sonny won't talk. In scenes brimming with heigh-ho, Debbie and the tots, who are really the abandoned children of a migrant tobacco picker, go about housekeeping chores with more madness than method. Then Prince Charming, in the guise of a freewheeling young...
