...fair to say that four of them--Alfred Vellucci and David Clem excluded--are cut from roughly the same cloth. Daniel J. Clinton, Thomas W. Danehy, Leonard J. Russell and Walter J. Sullivan have all been on the Council for a number of years. They oppose controls on vacant housing and bans on condominium conversion. They believe Cambridge Convention has blown these issues out of proportion in order to liven up an otherwise dull campaign. They clearly represent a constituency other than the students and professionals of the Harvard Square area...
...aroma of heavily spiced cooking wafts through the air. Mustached men in dark suits and cloth caps, answering to such names as Ali, Niyazi and Suleyman, hang about the local taverns. Their women, heads modestly covered with kerchiefs, are dressed in billowing pantaloons and long topcoats, even on hot summer days. Streets have informally been given Turkish names, and the shops purvey flat pita bread, mutton, sheep cheese and garlic instead of the Wurst, Bauernbrot (dark bread), veal and pigs' knuckles familiar in stores that serve a German clientele...
Largely because of the cup rules about the procurement of cloth, design and sail-cutting talent, this year's series, like so many in the past, was anything but the dramatic duel of titans, the mystic mano a mano on the deep that sailors dream of and the New York Yacht Club ritually invokes.

Hale, 58, decided to try to find out why so many people prefer to be unchurched. Doing so he logged 30,000 miles by air, auto, foot and boat, even visiting almost inaccessible "hollers" in West Virginia and a topless bar near Sarasota, Fla. He lived for a month in each of six counties ranked by Glenmary as among the country's most irreligious.* Though social conformity makes church shunners tend to keep their views...
...sense, Saint Laurent has designed the emperor's new clothes. His soft, flowing dresses, characterized by full sleeves and a loose obi caressing the hips, are adaptations of angular Chinese designs. Over these dresses or over satin pants are worn gargantuan wraps-a peplum coat sewn with real gold thread cloth, costing over $200 a meter, or a massive Genghis Khan jacket made of iridescent brocades and lined with fur. Saint Laurent set off his ensembles with high-heeled boots and a variety of hats, including pillbox and coolie styles...
