...visit to Rubaga Cathedral was the purest Latin he had ever heard.) Until recently, older converts and African priests had resisted such innovations as Mass in the vernacular, native songs, instruments and dances, looking on them as part of their rejected past. Experimental native works like the famous Missa Luba were first encouraged by white missionaries. Now, however, the black clergy has taken the lead in Africanizing Catholic ritual. Masses all across the continent are beginning to employ old dance forms and chants. In Zambia, even the tribal lamentations at the bedside of the dying are being reintroduced. Vernacular masses...
Relative newcomers are providing the best basics these days and usually at medium prices ranging from $75 to $300. Luba Marks, 45, a former dancer (first with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo in Paris, later in Broadway musicals, including Annie Get Your Gun), went into the fashion business with her husband nine years ago. In 1965, she showed a collection of pants, and they have been her hallmark ever since. Though Luba, who won a Coty Award for her designs last month, does not pretend that she invented pants, no designer has worked with them more skillfully...
...midcalf. Hechter and Delahaye, who sell to leading department stores the world over, including Bonwit Teller and Neiman Marcus, are receiving orders for them by the thousands.

He has permitted himself to range from Bach to Mozart to Prokoviev to Odetta to the Missa Luba to Leadbelly. Running head-on against our various stock responses, he inevitably creates image-sound discords. For me such discords arose between the healing of a leper and a cotton-field blues moan, between the infant Jesus and Odetta's annoyingly mannered "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child...
...nightlong transfusion of comic relief. He can fire a salvo of laughter with the whites of his eyes, and step on a dud line so that it explodes, but he has to work so hard to be playful that it kills the fun. Apart from Hackett, only Luba Lisa comes out of this Coney Island carnage with talent and personality arrestingly intact. Moving like a sexy-hexy wind-up doll, with the voice of a Jewish Chatty Cathy and the body of Salome, she gives the impression of being cheerfully in debt to the whole male race as she waits...
