...Little Scary." To the job of Ambassador to Academe, McGeorge Bundy brings solid-gold credentials. A summa cum laude Yale graduate in mathematics, at 34 he became the first Yale-educated dean of Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences. A compactly built man (5 ft. 10 in., 165 Ibs.) with greying brown hair, his pink cheeks, furrowed brow and plastic-rimmed glasses give him the air of a slightly perplexed professor.

...Sarmi produced 50 evening ensembles-every one of them made for a grand entrance. Typically, he committed himself to no single shape, cavalierly offering up silhouettes ranging from tentlike A-lines to baggy harem skirts. What interests Sarmi is fabric. There were amethyst, ruby and emerald velvets, cloth-of-gold studded with glass "jewels," acres of feathery chiffon, columns of ostrich plumes, bands of chinchilla, and bodices of shimmering bugles and bangles...

Tulips on Cedar. Parker knows what's going on. He starred on Pennsylvania's varsity from 1955 to '57, then shifted to single sculls and in 1959 won the National championship and the Pan American Games gold medal, went all the way to the finals of Britain's Henley regatta before losing. A few months later, Harvard offered him a job coaching its frosh, moved him up to the varsity in 1963 when Head Coach Harvey Love died. "This sport tends to be conservative," says Parker. "I'm inclined to try things...
