...Pompidou stands 5 ft. 9 in. and is a designer's dream. Though in her 50s, she is trim, athletic, looks attractive in bathing suits and superb in high fashion outfits. Normally devoted to pantsuits from Courreges, she switches to Chanel for day clothes and to Dior, Saint Laurent, Cardin and Laroche for ball gowns...
...Blues were hurting; starting center, Paul Laurent, was sidelined as was regular defenseman Bill L' Heureux, goaltender Rick Johston and five others. But Toronto had plenty of size and skating ability, and impressive depth. It was quite possibly the most talented squad the Crimson has faced this season, and playing by Canadian rules, one of the most brutal...
Asylum Attendants. These days the shrine should be easily accessible. Actually, it is harder to reach than heaven.

A caped gentleman from another century lectures them on piety, gives them money, then disappears down the road-with a dwarf that suddenly appears at his side.

Seeking shelter from a storm, the beggars are transported to the 14th...

Saint Laurent goes way back: "It's 1890," he says of his patchwork evening dress with leg-of-mutton sleeves. He does not say which year inspired his black otter coat, appliqued on the back with a Somalia panther skin; whenever it was, the panther apparently had a bad time of it; he looks properly appalled at his fate...
