Like Colorado this state has become a model for a liberal take-over. In February, 1968 a struggling band of peaceniks started a McCarthy organization. It dug in at the grassroots and came up with this traditional Republican state's first viable Democratic political organization by July. It is liberal, extremely dynamic, and lead by popular Gov. Harold Hughes who nominated McCarthy in Chicago...
Manhattan ladies have been all atwitter about the Yves St. Laurent peekaboo dress that was such a stopper in the Paris fall fashion shows. Last week they saw it in the flesh at Alexander's couture-copy show. Out came the model, preening prettily in a floor-length drift of sheer black chiffon, with only a ruff of ostrich feathers around the hip to save it from moving out of the controversial category into the condemned. For customers who want the concoction, Alexander's was ready to supply a cop-out-a body stocking that would make...
...sufficiently inane, the network now exploits its advantage with television's first series about a transvestite, The Ugliest Girl in Town. The story deals with a young Hollywood talent agent (Peter Kastner) who is mad for an English starlet. He works his way to London as a bewigged model and becomes the hottest mannequin since Twiggy. Kastner admits that at first he feared the show "might be offensive and in bad taste." After screening the pilot, he became convinced that it is merely "silly...
Despite their basic similarity, Boeing's new SST design differs in some ways from the one advanced by Lockheed. Boeing's delta wing will not be swept back quite so dramatically as that of the Lockheed model, a fact that should make the B-2707 slightly more efficient at subsonic speeds, slightly less so at its maximum cruise speed of 1,800 m.p.h. And while Lockheed planned to build its plane without a horizontal tail, the Boeing version will have a relatively conventional tail configuration...
Even with its new model, Boeing will have to pare down the plane's passenger capacity to 250. That will still be a sufficient payload to make the plane profitable, however, and will enable the craft to achieve the designed range. The new version, employing the familiar fixed-wing concept, should also take less time to build. That is particularly important, since the slower (1,550 m.p.h.), delta-wing Anglo-French Concorde, a rival SST entry, is scheduled to make its first test flight this fall and start commercial service in mid-1971, five years earlier than...
