Mais non, said Bohan. In an interview with Figaro, he claimed that the changeover had come as a terrible blow. French couturiers were irked that Dior had not chosen a replacement from the ranks of Gallic designers. In fact, Dior is getting ready for the hot competition that will result from European unification in 1992. In the past decade Ferre has won numerous prizes for sophisticated ready-to-wear clothing that might sell better in the broader market than Bohan's classical creations...

In fact, they wore T shirts advertising themselves as members of Batallon Dignidad, or the Dignity Battalion. It is one of at least 20 paramilitary squads, with a total membership estimated at 7,000 to 10,000, that were founded last year ostensibly to help block a Yanqui invasion that Manuel Antonio Noriega insisted was imminent. According to Bush Administration officials, the squads were created with help from a small group of Cuban advisers in Panama...
