...Fanning out through the islands on Friday, Dec. 2, 1983, the cameramen, including Eddie Adams, Gordon Parks and Douglas Kirkland, visited such disparate sites as a de livery room of a hospital on Oahu, the ranch country of the Big Island, a Japanese cemetery near Honolulu and the crest of dormant Haleakala volcano on Maui. The resulting kaleidoscope of scenery and characters, natives and haoles, shows an undiscovered country that, paradoxically, seems to grow more appealing as it becomes more familiar...
Minnetonka, the Minnesota firm that developed Softsoap, last May introduced the first pump toothpaste, Check-Up. Now Colgate-Palmolive is following with Colgate in a pump, and Lever Bros, has put out a pump version of Aim. Procter & Gamble started test-marketing a Crest pump in August.

Each episode of Cover Up spotlights the fashions of a name designer (including Perry Ellis and Christian Dior) in exchange...
...early 20s, Truffaut the critic was trumpeting the cause of auteurs, directors whose point of view and command of visual style entitled them to the respect given novelists and painters. In 1958, at 26, he directed The 400 Blows, brought the new wave of film makers to its crest and became a budding auteur. With fellow New Wavers Jean-Luc Godard and Alain Resnais, Truffaut yanked film into the modernist age. No longer would the screen serve merely as a window through which the spectator sees "real people." Now it could show anything, in any and all fashions. Time could...
