Hard-Riding Polo. Over the next three years, Chairman Wishart will gradually step aside for lean, taciturn James Binger, a onetime lawyer who went into manufacturing because "I wanted to develop my own set of problems to solve." A Yaleman ('38) who plays hard-riding polo on weekends to shuck off the burden of bringing home a full briefcase every night, Binger has already revamped Honeywell's sales approach, placing emphasis on profits rather than on volume.

Into a Sherwood Forest setting enhanced by a pair of real copper beech trees trooped the svelte St. Laurent mannequins-all bundled up in shirts, jerkins, tunics, dark knitted hose and seven-league boots. A big hit of the collection was a costume consisting of tight pants, mid-thigh-length boots and a hair seal pullover, with a Robin Hood hat and chained pendant. Pageboy hairdos were common...
