...weekends in the country, Donald Brooks will turn her into a swaggering Robin Hood with leather leggings and jaunty plumed hats by Milliner Archie Eason, worn perhaps with a short, checked polo coat and matching shorts, or with a pony-skin raincoat. If she would rather be Tom Sawyer, Chester Weinberg has just the thing: avocado green velvet overalls that come to midcalf, and are topped by a lace-trimmed blouse. With George Stavropoulos, she can play the Greek goddess in classical floor-length gowns trailing yards of filmy chiffon...
Touchdowns & Astronauts. Oscar de la Renta believes in girl Cossacks - a long beige coat bordered with fur and tied with a belt, to be worn over a minidress and shorts with thigh-high leather boots. Pauline Trigère offers the medieval look with hooded neckpieces that come off to reveal deep V necklines in close-fitting, floor-length gowns with long sleeves. For lady football fans, there are Geoffrey Beene"touchdown" dresses - long, sequined sacks in purple with yellow shoulder patches or arm stripes and big numerals on the front, just like overextended football jerseys. Rudi Gernreich is pushing...
...rival merchant sought the patronage of that autocrat's famous breakfast table, "and I don't dare change." A bulwark of proper Bostonian life for most of its 136 years, the haute cuisine grocery chain has long filled an epicurean niche in U.S. gastronomy.

It may have given a vegetating U.N. a new opportunity to act bravely instead of to browbeat. If the U.N. wants to be a peace-insuring body, it must have the means to commandeer a police force that could on short notice be stationed in any unstable region. This force would have to have the power to act forcibly to quell aggression and provocative actions early...
Back-seat Psychiatry. New Yorkers, however, are born survivors. The immediate challenge was to operate the elevators-if possible. Steve Frenkel, a 19-year-old Hunter College engineering student living in a West Side building, pried open a stricken lift with a bent coat hanger, taught himself how to operate the machine, then enlisted other tenants on a rotation watch schedule. In many another highrise, kids gleefully took over the elevator controls. One East Side boy, pressed into service to spare his parents' dinner guests the rigors of the stairway, demanded-and got - $1 for his stint behind...
