Ramrod-stiff but with the old war rior's slow, halting gait, General of the Army Omar Bradley, 76, walked across the Normandy field, gazing somberly upon the long, orderly rows of white crosses that mark the American cemetery near Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer. From Cherbourg to Le Havre, thousands of survivors of the Allied forces returned to the Continent last week to recall their roles on Dday, a quarter of a century ago. Lord Lovat, the commando leader, and General Sir Richard Gale, the British airborne commander, were back in uniform to commemorate the day. U.S. General James...
...Kremlin and the Vatican denounced it; most American women were completely unprepared (or unequipped) to wear it. In defense, Gernreich explained his purpose: "By exaggerating a new freedom of the body now, I hope to make the moderate, right degree of freedom more acceptable in the future." Yves St. Laurent seconded the motion two years later with his show-and-tell dresses. With body stockings available to control the unruly flesh and provide a modicum of modesty, women who had snickered at Gernreich thought again, and looked to the future. It came sooner than even Gernreich had expected, though...
...then her own never got her so much as an honorable mention on the best-dressed list, whereas a simple YSL (for Yves Saint Laurent) or a pair of Bs, back to back (for Bill Blass) spell instant class.

No longer the need to base chic upon a series of subtle clues-the interlocking bridle bit that makes the shoe...
...about who is going to wear them." In Norell's trousers, which are cut straight from the hip, any woman who is not reed-thin is apt to look like a walking example of cluster zoning. A well-curved curple is absolutely essential, too, for the Yves St. Laurent pants suits that are the cat's pajamas at the moment. Although some of St. Laurent's designs are splendidly elegant, they are certainly not meant to be worn by size 14 women. Yet St. Laurent makes and sells them in size...
...fact, the story of La Prisonnière is downright repugnant. The mistress (Elisabeth Wiener) of a with-it artist (Bernard Fresson) falls for the owner of her lover's gallery. The owner (Laurent Terzieff) looks like the sort of tubercular pervert who might peddle pornographic pictures to schoolchildren, but he gets his kicks from having fun with adults. He ties his girls in chains, photographs them in submissive attitudes, fondles and then bullies them into abject sexual surrender. The whole thing is pretty disgusting, what with the heroine being degraded, her lover becoming murderously outraged, and the dirty...
