Anna and Bonnie. Style, it developed, did not have to filter down to the streets: it might just as easily, and did, start there. The hue and cry for custom clothes, at full pitch only five years ago, has become a whisper in the stores. Says Bonwit Teller President William Fine: "The line-for-line derby is not consistent with the changing times and mood of the consumer."

Looking more objectively at the red planet through powerful telescopes, modern astronomers have attributed its odd color to deposits of iron-rich minerals like limonite. Now two former University of Massachusetts researchers have proposed a new explanation of the puzzling Martian hue. During a recent meeting at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, Physicists William T. Plummer and Robert K. Carson reported that parts of Mars may be covered by a strange kind of tinted "snow...
