...special friend of pretension," Walter Scheel once said. Indeed he is not. He arrived in Moscow three weeks ago wearing a rumpled sports coat, striped shirt and red tie. He puffed on his Montecristo No. 1 cigars steadily throughout the twelve days of negotiations. One night he went on a tour of Moscow nightspots, ending up at the Slavyansky Bazar, a haunt of young Russians, where he danced exuberantly with bemused Russian girls.

He does admit that "hidden political comment" may be found...
Long and Longer. But, as so often in the past, it was Yves St. Laurent whose literally dreamy collection drew the week's top applause. Soft voiles, crepes and chiffons fitted tightly over the bosom, fluttered into pleats at the hips; gently fitted shirt-coats unbuttoned to reveal sinewy sheaths; appliques, borrowed from Matisse collages, formed butterflies on blousy knickers, birds in flight on a blue suede coat. The St. Laurent way for evening: sheer silk chemises, re-embroidered with tiny seed beads or baby sequins, delicate as veils and every bit as enticing...
