Hasan, a small man who on this day is wearing a cotton sarong, tracksuit top and traditional pillbox hat, is proud of his service as an informer. He seems puzzled as to why others might not be. In fact, he says, it was through the military that he first set out on the path to conversion. One day when he was about nine, he recalls, some soldiers visited...

They--we--have done enough. Time now to rest, regroup...
Hang on to your pillbox: Halston may be back. Under the guidance of designer Randolph Duke and managing director Carmine Porcelli, the Halston label is getting hotter than a mink stole in August. Geena Davis and Minnie Driver triggered a volley of flashbulbs when they wore Halston to the Oscars in March. Exclusive department stores are stocking Halston again. After three well-received fashion shows, naysayers who clucked that the label was best consigned to history are beginning to hold their tongue. Just as folks are fondly looking back on the old Halston haunt Studio 54, with two movies...
