...former Tokyo bar hostess, it was indeed an impressive homecoming reception-an official welcoming delegation at the airport, scores of jostling newsmen, photographers, television crews-the works. But after all, beautiful, 25-year-old Ratna Sari Dewi has come up in the world since that day in 1959 when Indonesia's fun-loving President Sukarno decided to make her his third wife...
...Sari to Go. Most of the exhibitors would like to sell just about everything, intend to offer their goods either at auction or for a fixed or negotiated price. There are so many possibilities for the general public that a New York City adman, George E. Porcell, 25, has put together an 80-page catalogue of merchandise, already has orders for 8,000 copies at $2 each.

Vogue calls it "the Asymmetric Look," but Seventh Avenue has a better name: the cold shoulder...
Madame Bandaranaike whizzed through her constituency in a black Mercedes, always accompanied by a cheerleader who helped with the applause. She was usually clad in a blue sari (her party color), and spoke from platforms adorned with a picture of her husband, the late Prime Minister Solomon West Ridgeway Dias Bandaranaike, who was assassinated by a Buddhist monk in 1959. Though she no longer wept in public when recalling her husband, Madame was still campaigning in his memory, promising to follow his policies, which "stood for the middle path in politics."
