Palace Plot? In any showdown with the fedayeen, Hussein can count on the loyalty of Jordan's 20,000 Bedouins, whom he has recently been placing in army units, but not on his politicians. Last week angry fedayeen leaders called on Hussein's Prime Minister, Bahjat Talhouni, to claim that they had discovered a palace plot to arrest some commandos and pressure politicians to cease supporting them. As Palestinian refugees braced for battle, the Cabinet sided with the fedayeen, conceding them full freedom of movement and promising to resign en masse should the plan go through...
Another case in point is Count Giorgio di Sant'Angelo, 29, the costume-jewelry designer noted for his gold-chain bikini. He thinks of himself as a Renaissance man, and not without some reason. He studied architecture in Florence, industrial design in Barcelona, ceramies in Paris. He also studied with Picasso, drew cartoons for Walt Disney, designed hotel interiors in the Caribbean. Now he has produced his first collection of clothes, including Levi-inspired pants suits in broadtail and patchwork explosions of pure color, designed so that individual pieces can be combined in any number of ways.

Or so it seems to millions of people the world over, who have made "powerlessness" one of the chief complaints-and clich...
With four games of the 1968 World Series out of the way, the Las Vegas bookmakers were beginning to count their winnings. They had been quoting 17-to-10 odds on the St. Louis Cardinals, and the world champions were winning in a walk. They had Detroit's Tigers down, three games to one, and St. Louis' peerless pitcher Bob Gibson had humiliated Detroit's 31-game winner, Denny McLain, not once, but twice. Relaxed and confident, Gibson was ready to pitch again, if necessary, in the best-of-seven Series...
