Myron S. Augsburger, 40, wears the "plain coat" of the Mennonite brotherhood as president of Eastern Mennonite College and Seminary in Virginia. But Augsburger is anything but oldfashioned.

A wide-traveling and well-known evangelist, Augsburger is also an intense intellectual who believes that "evangelicalism is both creative and contemporary. It is not tied to any given culture, economic structure or political philosophy...

Its basement held a large room with eighteen billiard tables where a member could obtain free instruction from "a well-known professional." A kitchen, a printing office, and some rooms of the CRIMSON completed this floor. Above in the hall now used as freshman dining rooms, was a living room.

Says an official of the Bonapartist political party that has ruled Ajaccio for over a century: "When we Corsicans put our right hand inside our coat like the Emperor, it's on our heart. Others are feeling for their wallet...
There are hints of the '30s, as in Chanel's navy wool smoking suit (complete with white starched shirt front and miniature black bow tie), and of the '40s, with Givenchy's languorous silver-fox coat. Saint Laurent goes way back: "It's 1890," he says of his patchwork evening dress with leg-of-mutton sleeves. He does not say which year inspired his black otter coat, appliqued on the back with a Somalia panther skin; whenever it was, the panther apparently had a bad time of it; he looks properly appalled at his fate...
