...invented navy blue," said Giorgio Armani. The T.V. cameras were rolling in his attic office on the via Borgonuovo as the designer was carefully describing his power position in the fashion world to Estelle Colin, a French television journalist preparing an hour-long documentary on Armani. OK, so navy blue (and also beige) do essentially belong to Armani in fashion terms, especially during his heyday in the '70s and '80s when, as he puts it, he "gave something to women who work."

From his unique perch at TIME's Saigon bureau, the popular, plugged-in An was able to achieve feats for both sides, alerting the Viet Cong to the impending buildup of U.S. troops...
...armored humvee. I gazed down and spotted an object on the wooden bench 2 ft. away. The dark oval was as shiny and smooth as a tortoiseshell, roughly 6 in. long and 4 in. wide. None of my fellow passengers seemed to notice. I confronted the intruder alone, a journalist caught in a military moment. Something told me there was no time to consult the soldiers...
