...night he sips at a glass of Mateus rosé, a Portuguese substitute for red Dubonnet, which is suspected of a higher calorie count. But beyond that, he looks and in some ways acts as well as ever, maybe a little better. His hair is bleached, his skin tanned from weekend sun on his Pocantico Hills golf course with his two sons and Club Pro Chi Chi Rodriguez. A medical lab, after studying his charts and X rays, reported: "This man is 40 years...
...designs, last year's loose look yielded to slim, trim, body-conscious clothes. Hubert de Givenchy came out with a shape that Women's Wear Daily was quick to label "the TT-or Tight Torso." Pierre Cardin's bottom-cupping skirts cling as tightly as the skin on a peach. Yves Saint Laurent, couture's most influential designer, has also rediscovered the slim look, with cool, understated dresses and near severe tailored pants and jackets. At Dior, Marc Bohan showed below-the-knee skirts topped by waist-length confections he calls "waiter's jackets...
Givenchy's look is sporty but soft, straight but supple. "I think we must all simplify," he says. "There is a minimum of construction, and the tops and sleeves fit like skin." Indeed, a few of his slinky evening clothes mold the body almost as closely as Cardin's, but with greater subtlety.

"It gives you a dewy look," says Ellen Bennett, who runs a custom wig salon. But Daniel Eastman, a leading Beverly Hills skin-care specialist, protests that it is an "outrageous" fad, and a number of dermatologists back him up. Some doctors explain that Preparation H works on the face by slightly irritating the skin, thus causing enough swelling to minimize small wrinkles; continued use, they warn, may accelerate skin aging by causing...
...Skin of Our Teeth. This play is thought of quite highly in some circles--for instance, it won a Pulitzer Prize. I always thought it was a little trite, what with Thornton Wilder celebrating the Ability of Man to Endure Through the Ages (with his long-suffering wife in tow). Wilder follows one family, the Antrobuses (like the Greek work, anthropos, which means man--get it?), from the Stone Age to the present, as they weather a variety of trials and they weather a variety of trials and tribulations-marital infidelity, juvenile delinquency, the ice Age. Still, it's good...
