...smile is as warm as the sunshine that engulfs the room. In a beige tweed skirt and tasteful silk blouse, with every dark blond hair in place and her huge hazel eyes clear, Nancy Reagan looks as much like spring as the tulips and hyacinths that festoon the room. And when she starts talking, the control is there. No, she had not worried much about physical assault, not any more. Reagan had been threatened frequently while Governor in Sacramento; in 1968 a security man shot at someone trying to fire-bomb the Governor's residence...
What to wear to the investiture? Maria Lea Pedini, 26, first woman Captain-Regent of tiny San Marino (a country 24 miles square perched on a mountainside in Italy), shunned the flat hat and knickers demanded by tradition last week. The pretty wife and mother chose a skirt and more feminine chapeau from a Milan designer. La Capitana wants reform in the world's oldest republic, where women were barred from voting until 1960, and where even today women lose citizenship if they marry foreigners. One obstacle to change: her term lasts only six months...
With his new collection, Armani introduces fancy-free outfits for work and play. There is hardly a skirt in the show. The emphasis is on pants: quilted, pleated, tucked and cuffed bermudas, knee-length culottes with upward-curving hems, knickers and quilted pantskirts. They are worn in daytime with silk or satin blouses, strictly tailored jackets, capes and large T-shaped wool ponchos. Many of Armani's favorite colors-shades of beige, brown, rust, taupe, gray, black, traces of cobalt blue-are subtly combined in a single ensemble. Favorite materials for pants and jackets are houndstooth checks, herringbone tweeds...
Then came the final scene: Jean Harris, primly clad in a suede jacket and brown skirt, her hair held back by a tortoise shell band, was led in, staring straight ahead. Each day of the ordeal seemed to have shriveled her a bit more. The jurors, stone faced and grim, did not look at her, seated at the defense table, as they filed in. "I understand the jurors have arrived at a verdict," said Judge Leggett. Von Glahn rose and nodded yes. The clerk asked: "How do you find the defendant, Jean Harris, on the first count of second-degree...
...bonnie Prince. She was surrounded at the London flat that she shared with three other young women. To her horror, she was snapped holding one of her charges at the nursery school where she taught, the sun at her back clearly outlining her legs and thighs through a diaphanous skirt. That caused a sensation, but it was only the beginning. Fleet Street's overheated tabloids, used to concocting royal "romances" on the scantiest of evidence-a day at the races with Lady Camilla Fane, a chat at the polo grounds with Secretary Jane Ward-regularly made up quotes...
