...departure from the traditional white or silver commercial airlines, Braniff has been painting its jets any of seven assorted colors: lemon, beige, ocher, turquoise, orange, light and dark blue. Aircraft interiors are a kaleidoscope of orange, yellow, blue, brown, grey, red and green. Braniff hostesses wear uniforms that include lime topcoats, pink and yellow or pink and blue shift dresses and hyacinth culottes, all styled by Italian Couturier Emilio Pucci...
...palaces with their gardens and lagoons in Hué (pronounced whey). Today their palaces are crumbling, and Hué is a subdued and ceremonial city of 105,000 without a newspaper, scarcely a telephone, and little traffic beyond bicycles and canvas-topped cyclo taxis. The only industry is a lime plant employing 50 people. Lunch is a leisurely three-hour affair. A woman dropping her cooking pans can shatter the tree-shaded silence at midday for blocks around. The facade is deceiving. The site of Viet Nam's first university in 1918, Hué is the intellectual-and Buddhist...
...Soviet Union. Kitchen Gardeners. Primed by a high postwar birth rate and changes in the Soviet economy, unemployment has become particularly bothersome in Lithuania, Moldavia, Byelorussia, Siberia and in the Central Asiatic Republics.

Then Mrs. John Hayes, wife of a Washington Post Co. vice president, also showed up awearing of the green (chiffon, one shoulder). As guest after guest floated in with the same model, smiles stiffened, eyes glazed. Fascinated, society editors began to keep score. They counted 15 to 20 women wearing identical or indistinguishable gowns (at $160 for the Starr silk-chiffon...
...alikes seemed not too displeased to be counted among the Starrs. "I sat next to someone who looked like Joan Kennedy for five minutes before we both realized we were wearing the same dress," Cheray Duchin reported. "We laughed about it." Some of the laughter also came out slightly lime green. One woman reporter claimed that several guests repaired to the powder room to weep on one another's bared shoulder. Happiest among women were those who had bought the selfsame dress and decided to wear something else that evening. Then even they started worrying. This side of Kuala...
