...JOURNAL. "Plumes for My Rich Aunt." British Journalist Alan Whicker describes the world of Paris haute couture as glamorized by models "who can wear furs in August, swimsuits in December . . . and look snooty and deadpan even with sand in their shoes" in this bizarre peek at the citadel of high fashion. Interviews with Designers Gerard Picard and Pierre Balmain...

...Regarding "The Rich-Back to the Ould Sod" [June 28] perhaps the most conspicuous Mellon by his absence from the family's rendezvous was Larimer W. Mellon Jr., who, as a physician, dedicated, built and for the past twelve years has run the Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Deschapelles, Haiti along with his wife Gwen.

Zambia's President Kenneth Kaunda struck the keynote -"the end of an era of optimism," and the "disappointment and disillusionment" of the newly independent nations. In underdeveloped countries, he charged, the West "seeks only maximum profit and makes development a mere windfall gain -mere crumbs falling from the rich man's table."

Egocentric, arrogant and glamorously rich, he purrs out to his country estate in a brown Bentley convertible for impeccably served alfresco lunches between rehearsals. Sprightly, blonde Barbara Ferris is the lissome young newspaper reporter sent to interview the great conductor.

When John Hersey, determined to do a book on the Detroit riots, chose to concentrate on the events at the Algiers Motel, he had settled on an incident rich in tragedy and drama, one that is a good basis for a novel. He chose, however, to explore the situation in a work of reportage, foregoing his opportunity, as perhaps the best-informed observer of the affair, to propose answers to moot questions and to make judgements on the players and the action of the drama.
