Outcasts. The mercenaries' salaries run from $1,700 a month upward. But payday is at best a sporadic affair in besieged Biafra. In any case, money is probably not the major reason for their presence. It is not the land, either, for they seem to have no eyes for the green rolling infinity of the African bush, the visionary sunsets, the humming, warm, smoky nights. They are lobos, outcasts from society who fight every day in order to taste the excitement that comes in living close to violent death. If they survive Biafra, they will doubtless drift...
...they have been her hallmark ever since. Though Luba, who won a Coty Award for her designs last month, does not pretend that she invented pants, no designer has worked with them more skillfully. As an ex-dancer, she likes their freedom. But she also likes variety: "No reason not to wear pants one day, a short skirt the next, a long one the following day." In her fall collection, Luba has pants with a tunic top. "If you get too hot," she explains to customers, "go to the ladies' room, remove the pants, and you emerge in tunic...
Another case in point is Count Giorgio di Sant'Angelo, 29, the costume-jewelry designer noted for his gold-chain bikini. He thinks of himself as a Renaissance man, and not without some reason. He studied architecture in Florence, industrial design in Barcelona, ceramies in Paris. He also studied with Picasso, drew cartoons for Walt Disney, designed hotel interiors in the Caribbean.

Hannell had earlier pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. Dr. Allen A. Bartholomew, Psychiatric Superintendent of Melbourne's Pentridge Prison, testified that he had examined Hannell, found him to be an XYY. The imbalance, coupled with mental retardation, an aberrant brainwave pattern and evidence of neurological disorder, led Bartholomew to conclude that when Hannell killed the widow, "he did not know that what he was doing was wrong." After deliberating...
...cities, eager tenants fully lease new apartment projects before they are completed. The latest Census Bureau tabulation shows that rental vacancies in metropolitan areas fell to 4.9% during the first quarter of this year, the lowest level of the decade. The figure runs far lower in many places. One reason is the remarkable proliferation of huge apartment communities loaded with amenities for a leisure age. A swimming pool is no longer enough. In Houston, Developer Jenard Gross' latest 1,250-unit project will also have a shopping center, tennis courts, a gym and sauna baths, along with air-conditioned...
