...initials that work their way onto the backs of his jeans, the loops of his leather pants and entirely too many other places-it is the tailoring. This means not only the standard of craftsmanship but, more generally, the look, shape and fall of a garment. English Designer Bruce Oldfield maintains, "Men's wear hasn't looked back since Armani dropped the lapels and made the softer tailored look." Says another English designer, David Emanuel, who with his wife Elizabeth whipped up the Princess of Wales' wedding dress: "I feel good when I put on an Armani...
...other mounted officers, will lead Lady Diana in her Glass Coach from Clarence House to St. Paul's, and who admits that the whole thing "is a fairly daunting prospect. It would be wrong to say we're not feeling the old butterflies." Or about Designer Bruce Oldfield, turning out dresses for several prominent guests, who dithers: "It's a nightmare. It's great. It's fantastic." Or Kiri Te Kanawa, who says simply that she is "terrified." The frantic pace, the giddy nerves, the spiraling expectation that threatens to run away and never quite...
DIED. Maurice Oldfield, 65, amiable bachelor who, after serving in World War II intelligence, rose through the ranks of the British Secret Service to head it between 1973 and 1978, and who was believed to be the inspiration for both "M," the intelligence chief in Ian Fleming's James Bond novels, and George Smiley, the deceptively bland hero of John le Carré thrillers like Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy; of cancer; in London.

Last week, five years after the first gruesome killing, and despite the biggest man hunt in the country's history, Britain's modern-day reincarnation of Jack the Ripper struck again-for the 13th time and the first time in over 14 months. His victim was Jacqueline Hill, 20, a literature student, Sunday-school teacher and would-be probation officer, who was attacked and killed sometime...
Poor Walter Carlos, who produced Switched on Bach, for example, can't be held responsible for the creations of Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Yes, Tomita, Vangelis, or Mike Oldfield, but his quasiorchestral synthesizer products directly influenced fatuous schools of rock and roll. For a long time, no one seemed to know what else to do with the synthesizer. More recently, Georgio Moroder and Donna Summer realized in "I Feel Love" a sound which no one will ever duplicate for sheer originality or sensuality. Nevertheless, millions of depraved Moog owners, sitting in their velour studios, will continue vainly to plagarize that...
