...margin against withdrawal was roughly the same as the one piled up by San Francisco voters last month. In ivied wards around Harvard and M.I.T., one of the nation's strongest dovecotes, the vote was surprisingly close-4,108 to 3,134 for withdrawal; beyond Harvard Square, blue-collar areas were heavily against a pullout...

Pacific Airlines not long ago put its stewardesses in "hot pink" uniforms and advertised them delectably as "cupcakes." Staid Northwest Airlines added a mink collar to its stewardess attire last month-and lifted hemlines just above the knee. To whip up interest in its South American routes, Braniff has just introduced such gourmet dishes as Cebiche Peruano de Pescado (raw fish steeped in lemon juice) and Arroz con Pato Chifa (marinated duckling in soy sauce with date, rice...
