Other top Paris couturiers went for sizzle last week too, especially Emanuel Ungaro, whose bright follies exposed virtually the whole thigh. Yves Saint Laurent presented his customary, imperturbable show of regal but wearable clothes. His only jape was the bridal dress that traditionally ends couture shows. His bride wafted out in a white shirred micro-mini-bustier with an applique dove on her head...
Holograms, those silvery 3-D images that adorn 500 million credit cards, will - soon make an appearance on another product: designer clothing. Garments made by Italy's Gruppo GFT for European designers Valentino, Emanuel Ungaro and Claude Montana will arrive in stores next spring bearing wafer-thin holograms that are glued to labels inside the clothing. The images, virtually impossible to copy, will certify to shoppers and retailers that the designer pieces are authentic. Anyone who tries to rip out the label and transfer it to a counterfeit designer garment will ruin the hologram. Clothing manufacturers hope the holograms will...
Some Administration officials, following the Reagan ethos of privatizing the public sector, treated their Government jobs as private fiefs.

Some officials, having made financial sacrifices to go into Government, evidently felt entitled to recoup as much as possible. C. McClain Haddow, former chief of staff at the Department of Health and Human Services, was indicted last month for fraudulently obtaining...
...dire consequences of the greenhouse effect. A general warming of the earth because of increasing amounts of carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere might not only melt the polar ice caps and drastically alter weather patterns but cause more ferocious storms. Writing in Nature, M.I.T. Meteorologist Kerry Emanuel warned that a warmer climate could result in hurricanes packing up to 50% more destructive power. This could happen, he suggests, within 40 to 80 years, when some scientists think CO2 levels will have doubled and ocean temperatures will have increased by 2 degrees C to 3 degrees C. Because...
...What is very speculative at this point," Emanuel says, "is how the earth's climate will respond." One variable that could offset the rise in CO2 levels, for example, would be a change in cloud cover, which would cut down on the sunlight reaching the surface of the earth. Although it is too early to sound alarms, says Emanuel, his purpose is to make it clear "the consequences of the changes that are occurring are quite severe...
