...some, there were happy reunions with relatives and friends, for others tears and the bitter sense of loss for those who will never return. But there were new homes to be raised, new shrines to be built, and a new nation to be formed. The land was there too, lush and green...
...creations of other American China watchers are not quite so authentic. Designer Donald Brooks takes elements of classic Chinese styles, such as mandarin collars, flowing sleeves, frog closings and lush prints, and incorporates them into his high-fashion line. Characteristic is a simple dress in red with a white swirl print, banded and sashed in black with a mandarin collar and frog details, which sells for $315. Mrs. Richard Nixon has been observed trying on a few Chinese-styled Brooks dresses, leading to the presumption that she will wear them if she goes to Peking with the President. Brooks says...
...authors, Pepper Schwartz and Janet Lever, were graduate students in sociology when the coeducational transformation began. Both knew Yale before 1969's Coed Week and had experienced Yale--"lush, expensive, and cloistered"--as an eminently male institution.

Indeed, the data accumulated so rapidly that Schwartz...

They are innocent individually, but meaningful en masse. Heard over a genial rock beat, the song God Is Love scores through understatement...
...import surcharge presents a difficult problem of timing. Getting rid of it is a high-priority item for the Europeans and Japanese, whose sales in the lush U.S. market will soon be hurt by the tax. But the Nixon Administration is reluctant to give up the bargaining lever that the surcharge provides, and the President last week hinted that the tax will be around for quite a while. Still, the Europeans' main demand at the moment is reasonable: that the U.S. spell out clearly its conditions for dropping the surcharge. The toughest issue is the size and speed...
