...choice. That seems to be the presidential strategy of Senator Lloyd M. Bentsen, 54, who has plans of emerging as the compromise nominee after the front runners falter and the Democratic Convention is deadlocked.

A wobble either to the left or the right makes him distinctly uneasy. "Others are trying to move toward the middle of the party," he says. "But I don't have to move. I'm already there...

Back in Washington, Betty Ford got the news of the assassination attempt while sitting at the desk in her study, a small, cozy room with a sweeping view of the monuments to Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln.

Givenchy's basic sweater dresses hug the body to the hipline, then end in a shirred skirt; many have turtlenecks, which he finds "much more today" than decolletés. Among the last to design trousers, Givenchy showed pants superbly tailored in fine wools, gabardine and jerseys. To accentuate his sporty look, always popular with Americans...
...paper event" itself is what Mallardi refers to as a "structured improvisation." As choreographer she provided the structure long strips of kraft paper which the dancers contemplate, hug, tear into balls, build with, and eventually, abandon.
