...rash of reversibles. Because bonding makes two-faced suits and coats possible, designers may soon be turning themselves inside out to give customers two costumes in one. Instead of going home to change, the day may come when a businessman can arrive at work in a grey worsted, leave in a black dinner jacket. All that stands in the way is the trivial matter of how to make it fit both ways-and what to do about the pockets...
...Rena Frye, 49, did interfere when California highway patrolmen stopped Marquette, 21, on suspicion of drunken driving last Aug. 11. His brother Ronald, 22, was a passenger in the battered grey and white Buick. Hearing that her sons were in trouble, diminutive (5 ft.)

Forgotten was the fact that for most of the 19th century Alsace had been one of the world's most industrialized areas...
...Fellini parades a gallery of grotesques both sacred and profane: whores, prophets, shrouded nuns, epicene cultists, damned maidens ablaze, sundry vile bodies and Freudian symbols on horseback. All are flamboyantly colorful creations. And a few of the film's conceits are breathtaking to behold, from the gauzy blue-grey magic of a sequence in which Giulietta's grandfather succumbs to a lady bareback rider to her neighbor's improbable Eden - an art-nouveau fleshpot in rainbow hues where sinners can slide a chute from bed to swimming pool or repair to a tree house devised for impromptu...
