...plain, almond-shaped sack, designers are moving the hemline up, the neckline down, taking in waists, adding pleats, ruffles, tapered skirts, brighter colors all around. And for each new style, there is a new name: side-draped "toga coats" by Jacques Griffe; the slope-shouldered "Sling Drape" by Castillo of Lanvin; the gently indented Egg-Cup Silhouette" by Jacques Heim.

...Ydigoras-Cruz truce, possibly to give the general the presidency but modify his wilder tendencies and guarantee continued U.S. assistance. The best hope for the future is the precedent of a notably free and orderly election. In mulling over the recent past, Guatemalan moderates could only mourn that Castillo Armas was cut down before he succeeded in easing political restrictions, building up a strong successor and demonstrating the ultimate benefits of his economic alliance with...
