...Laurent likes to look back to the 1920s and 1930s. Last year it was Marlene Dietrich suits and the gangster look; this year, in what was billed as homage to 84-year-old Coco Chanel, he turned out a whole series of lowwaisted, high-collared, frilly-skirted dresses that brought cheers and bravos from the spectators...
...Ambush. Led by Guide and Roberto ("Coco") Peredo, two Bolivian brothers who joined the country's Communist Party and visited Cuba in 1965-66, the guerrillas are armed with automatic weapons, grenades and modern communication equipment.

The guerrillas first surfaced in March, when they ambushed and killed seven men on an army patrol. Since then, they...
Miniskirts may be popular with the women who wear them, but in the past few months they have been denounced by ex-President Eisenhower, condemned by Designer Coco Chanel, blasted by King Hassan II of Morocco, banned in Tunisia, prohibited in Rumania, and ridiculed at Ascot.

In the U.S., three fast-rising young ready-to-wear designers-Coty Award Winner Dominic of Matty Talmack, plus Chester Weinberg...
Local color-real and synthetic-is everywhere on Kauai. At the Coco Palms, surrounded by Hawaii's largest coconut orchard, conch shells are sounded each evening, while runners race through the darkened groves, whirling their flaming torches and lighting up flares, just as they did in the courts of the alii (chieftains). The Hanalei Plantation (opposite), which includes a 20th Century Fox set designer's re-creation of a Hawaiian monarch's palace, overlooks the beach where Mitzi Gaynor washed that man right outa her hair in South Pacific. Owner Lyle Guslander, who has built hotels...
