...labels. One Vanguard trio, the Greenbriar Boys, expressed resentment when PP&M used their arrangement of the English ballad "Stewball" for yet another hit single. But Seeger said he was pleased by PP&M's version of "Where Have All the Flowers Gone," which he had adapted from a Cossack lyric (and to which folk singer Joe Hickerson added the final verses). Voilà! One more antiwar ballad to insinuate its thesis into the minds of the vast AM-radio audience...
...will mount next year. The San Francisco show, which was organized by Mark Rosenthal, a curator at the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, Fla., climaxes with a multiscreen gallery of films connected to that production.

In their stead, undergrads will get long nights of nursing Natty Ice and making awkward small talk with creepy graduate students—euphemistically styled “Beverage Authorization Teams”—who will soon be a mandatory part of every tea social on campus...
...Gabbana's rock 'n' roll-inspired show or the exotic, Tibetan-inspired poncho shearling and paisley embroidered coats at Alexander McQueen's Mongolian-meets-Mayan show. Meanwhile, Frida Gianinni took the Gucci man on an exotic trip to post-revolutionary Russia, returning with some pretty extravagant greatcoats festooned with Cossack-inspired embroideries and fur-and-velvet trim. Even the traditional pea coat and overcoat were revamped in supersized proportions at houses like Bottega Veneta and Ferragamo. Bottega Veneta designer Tomas Maier said he had been inspired by functional work wear from the 19th century. At Ferragamo the theme was discreet...
