Having toured the U.S. women's club lecture loop, British-born Ginette Spanier, directrice of Paris' Balmain fashion house, had a few words about American women yearning to be chic. "American women are so frightened about doing the wrong thing," she said, "and sometimes you can't blame them. There are so many fashion writers in America now that the poor dears are absolutely battered by waves of instructions. That's why when I speak to them, they seem to feel they're getting the God's honest truth. And they ask the most...
...Housing. Nearing completion in Chicago is a double-barreled monument to circularity. Marina City, poking its twin towers 65 stories above the Chicago River north of the Loop, is the tallest apartment house ever built...
...apartments trumpet "Rent Concessions-Of Course" and "Move in November, 1962-Rent Starts February, 1963."

"We're convinced that if they had the proper equipment they could have touched," says the station...

But last year Soviet scientists toughened the cosmonauts' training program to help them combat space sickness. New whirling and loop-the-loop exercises were prescribed; after rigorous physical exertion, a cosmonaut was required to stand on his head for long periods. The change in the training regime apparently worked; exultant Soviet scientists reported that neither Nikolayev nor Popovich suffered nausea aloft...
