Socialites who feel insecure shopping anywhere but at the most exclusive salons may want to consult the opinion of an unexpected new arbiter: U.S. District Judge Robert Sweet. Last week the Manhattan-based judge named the 55 classiest retail stores in the U.S. He compiled the list as a way of enforcing a November trademark-infringement ruling in which he prohibited the toniest U.S. stores from selling Elizabeth Taylor's new fragrance, called Passion (price: $165 per oz. of perfume). Sweet had ruled that the upper-crust marketplace already belonged to an older Passion ($270), which the French firm Annick...
...that a Soviet pullout is imminent, Najibullah was hard at work last week trying to legitimize his regime in the eyes of his overwhelmingly Islamic countrymen. He billed the National Assembly meeting as a loya jirgah, an Afghan Muslim tradition in which village elders and religious leaders gather to consult in times of national crisis.

Wright has legitimately been provoked by White House confusion and reluctance to consult with Congress. But the Speaker's reclusive nature and / mercurial personality have alarmed even some in his own party. There is coolness between him and the powerful Ways and Means chairman, Danny Rostenkowski. Wright's pressure on younger Democrats to change votes on partisan maneuvers has left them muttering. It may be that Reagan's Nicaraguan policy is all wrong, but Wright should not be dealing with foreign powers or giving the perception that he is. His job is to run the House, which is not going...
...housed in a stucco mansion on the Pace University campus and runs on an annual budget of $1.6 million, met largely through foundation grants and contributions from its 11,000 members. In addition to publishing regularly, the Hastings ethicists develop model legislation, draw up guidelines for public policy, consult in such tortured cases as Karen Anne Quinlan's fate and assist universities in setting up ethics departments. "People used to think of medical ethics as between doctor and patient at the bedside," says Callahan. "We consider wider public policy, how Government spends its money, issues that affect millions of lives...
