After he became Premier, Pompidou and his bubbly wife, Claude, increasingly gave up fancy-dress parties at the Rothschild chateau southeast of Paris and summers with the literati in Saint-Tropez. Instead, for the past two years, the Pompidous have rented a chateau in Brittany, where the water is more bracing. They still spend weekends, however, at their country home at Orvilliers outside Paris or their farm at Cajarc in the south of France. Pompidou reads and tends his rosebushes, his wife practices her horsemanship. In the city, they occasionally go to first nights at the theater and constantly browse...
...Nova took the problem to the French for frank answers. "Pluck the eyebrows," ordered Carita of Paris. "Mold the cheekbones . . . The eyes must be emphasized ... A little light in the hair . . . Mouth toned down . . . Transparent makeup." While Courrèges decked the Queen out in a modestly mod dress and jacket, Alexandre cropped her royal mane and Roger Vivier prescribed a pair of shoes that made up in sex appeal what they lost in good sense.

...most auspicious. At that precise moment, trumpets blared and a gold curtain in Thailand's National Assembly chamber parted to reveal King Bhumibol Adulyadej seated on a special gold en throne beneath the traditional nine-tiered umbrella.

He bought a new book called Or I'll Dress You in Mourning, a biography of El Cordobés, by Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre, who also wrote Is Paris Burning? (a proposition on which Willie would lay even money at the moment). At night, while Myra was washing her hair, Willie read about how El Cordobes, born Manuel Benitez, now 32, got to be champ-fighting 133 bulls in a single summer, a lot of them bums that...
...allowed to kick her religious habit and appear publicly in skirt and blouse? Yes, decided Los Angeles' progressive-minded Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, who last fall made a number of reforms in their way of life, including the right to wear civilian dress. Although other Roman Catholic orders have modified or dropped their habits without any trouble, none of the changes seemed to please Los Angeles' James Francis Cardinal Mclntyre. He threatened to dismiss the sisters from their teaching posts in parochial schools of his archdiocese. The nuns promptly appealed to the Vatican, which appointed...
