Added Dimension. Yves' leaves are not newly fallen. The shape of Y.S.L. to come was foreshadowed last spring, when he displayed a ready-to-wear collection that embodied in less expensive form the essence of the couture show. Thus reversing the traditional cycle of a high-fashion collection followed by a mass-manufactured version of the same clothes, Saint Laurent's top-line show echoed-and amplified-his earlier collection. This strategy, rather than the designs themselves, was the real revolution. The very same week that fashion writers were trumpeting the glories of Saint Laurent's haute...
...quickest and most dramatic tests of all is for certain classes of virus that can be identified by their size and shape. It may take no more than three hours to prepare a specimen for Electron Microscopist Frederick Murphy to magnify up to 200,000 times. If he has caught his prey, its picture can be thrown onto a screen for a roomful of epidemiologists to see. Last week Dr. Murphy prepared such a specimen, and CDC Director David Sencer asked him: "Where is your picture?" A frustrated Murphy replied, "The picture is blank." Dr. Sencer then admitted...

This in turn formed what weather experts called the "omega block," a high-pressure barricade that prevented the normal clockwise movement of damp air from the Atlantic to Europe, a flow that usually assumes a vast omega (Ω) shape. Australian meteorologists have attributed the drought to the unexplained absence of the rain-bearing westerly winds that usually sweep across the lower part of the continent at this time of year. The dry spells suffered by the U.S. plains states are blamed on blocking by a high pressure center over...
Carter is in better shape with other Democratic voting blocs. During the convention, he defused potential problems with feminists by assuring them that women would play a prominent role in his campaign and, if elected, in his Administration. Two aides, Harriet Zimmerman of Atlanta and David Berg of Houston, met with Jewish delegates to try to ease any remaining doubts. Carter disarmed Hispanic delegates by greeting them in slightly halting Spanish and telling them: "When I get into the White House, I can assure you that you will have a friend there...
