...Feet. The meeting of delegates from 67 countries had hardly been called to order in the Hotel Gellert's ornate dining room when Mikhail Suslov, head of the Russian delegation and the Kremlin's chief ideologue, broke the first promise by launching a bitter attack on Mao Tse-tung's "slander campaign" against the conference. It also became quickly apparent that Moscow had already decided on the time and the place-November or December in Moscow-for a full-dress Communist summit meeting, and expected only a dutiful seconding from the Budapest assembly.

While it is true that Mao Tse-tung and his companions made super-human exertions, the Chinese Revolution might never have succeeded if the Japanese had not invaded China in the Second World War. The Chinese leaders today overlook the significance of the extraordinary post-war conditions, attributing their success instead almost entirely to their own revolutionary activities.

In Los Angeles last week, TV's Tonight Show Host Johnny Carson marched on-camera sporting American Designer Oleg Cassini's version of the Mao in dark blue whipcord. At a recent party given for Manhattan Pop Artist James Rosenquist, Metropolitan Museum Director Thomas Hoving arrived wearing one by Cardin in black velvet-and looked positively clerical alongside Hostess Ethel Scull's daisy-topped maxiskirt. Still, when Bonwit's advertised Cardin...
