Violated Constitution. It was a classic case of overreaction. Mexico's students are neither hard-core revolution aries of the Paris model nor U.S.-style dropouts from society.

Saint Laurent's newest companion and inspiration, former Chanel Model Betty Catroux, a tall, lithe specter of a woman, arrived in a black satin, sequined jump suit, open to below the rib cage. And when Yves himself shyly walked in, sporting an outsize tie, paisley shirt and multiple chains worn hip-hugger style, the scene was pandemonium...

The first to present its new cars, Chrysler Corp., last week was also the first to present the bill that goes with them.
