Yves Saint Laurent, couture's most influential designer, has also rediscovered the slim look, with cool, understated dresses and near severe tailored pants and jackets.

Violence flared anew last week on the Pine Ridge reservation of the Oglala Sioux in South Dakota. It was there in 1973 that militant Indians occupied the town of Wounded Knee for two months and two Indians were killed.
