Editor's Protest. For the moment, the King and his subjects were stuck with the junta. When an earthquake leveled villages in the Pindus Mountains, some 150 miles north of Athens, King Constantine flew there to comfort the 16,000 homeless people-accompanied by General Pattakos. The trip buttressed the impression the junta wishes to convey: that the King is on their side.

"It is very possible that skirts will drop during the next few seasons," says Dior's Marc Bohan, but adds: "The change will...
Father Joseph Damien de Veuster has been a storm center of controversy in Hawaii for the better part of a century. A Belgian-born Roman Catholic priest seeking converts, he was greeted with hostility by Hawaii's ruling Protestant-missionary families from the moment he arrived in Honolulu in 1864. He eventually volunteered to serve the leper colony on Molokai, became a beloved, if eccentric figure there; he wore a flowered native dress under his cape, tied up the brim of his battered clerical hat with string. At the age of 49, he died of leprosy, or Hansen...
