...morning of Nov. 30, 22 years ago, a Soviet land-sea-air offensive against Finland ended prolonged negotiations over Soviet demands for Finnish territory. Numerically overpowering Russian troops expected to overrun Finland in days, but heroic resistance by skillful, ski-equipped troops fought the enemy to a virtual standstill until the final collapse of the Finns 16 weeks later...
Returning to Newport last week, the Kennedys went all out in their vacationing. There were daily luncheon cruises aboard the presidential yacht Honey Fitz. The Honey Fitz anchored in quiet coves while a Secret Service powerboat hove alongside to speed Jackie through aquatic variations on a single water ski. Once ex-Navy Lieutenant John Kennedy spied the Navy frigate, Willis A. Lee, steaming past, signaled it to stop so the Honey Fitz could come up for a close presidential look...
...Paul's Church was built in Aspen, 60 miles across the mountains, when Aspen was a booming mine town instead of the ski-and-culture resort it is today. In 1908, after the boom's collapse had emptied it, the church was moved to Marble, which was having a boom of its own.

Now rich and seeking relaxation, Rolley has turned over the presidency to his assistant, Bill Randall...
Italian sportswear, always ingenious, this year includes trimmings ranging from boa-like looped-wool fringe on suits (by Pierluigi Trico) and enormous pompons on after-ski capes (by Lily Liuba) to colored felt "scoubidou"-like tassels* on ski sweaters (by Lida di Trepuzzi). Centinaro, who calls her line "Penguin" (the pouch-backed shape), shows shiny black spaghetti-fringe collars and olive-green fur linings. Albertina's boutique features knit suits and coats made without cutting or seaming and guaranteed to be sagproof, and Roland-who must have seen The Wild One-spotlights a skintight, all-black leather ensemble...
