...This time Mamie did agree to accept the makings of a coat, paid out $385 to have the 17 prime pelts, donated by two trappers' associations, fashioned into a finished garment (worth, said Haynes, some $1,800). Last week Mamie obliged by smilingly modeling the three-quarter-length, sleek, dark coat for White House photographers while Trapper Haynes and Archie Clark chattered happily to reporters...
Among other peril-frought trends in the U.S., Italy's sleek, slick Couturiere Simonetta observed a "dangerous" tendency among U.S. women to ignore fashion trends and wear what they look best in. Here on her first U.S. visit since 1955, Simonetta crossly jangled her charm bracelet at a New York Timeslady and cried: "All over the country I have seen what I have never seen before . . .

Ideal Toy Corp. thundered into round-the-clock production with a sleek new $4.98 "Satellite Launcher/' complete with rotating radar tracking station, which can fire four plastic disks 75 ft. into space.

Last week crowds at the opening of the 38th International Automobile Fair in Frankfurt hurried past the halls filled with big, sleek U.S. models, slowed down only slightly in the rooms where a new Porsche hardtop convertible, a new face-lifted Mercedes, Opels, Volkswagens and other German-made regular cars were on display. They finally came to a halt and milled around in the pavilion where midget-auto makers, some of them motorcycle manufacturers, were showing a half...
...laboratory on the third floor of the old Central High School in Evansville, Ind. gleams incongruously with the sleek, modern equipment of college and industrial biochemistry. There, this week, a select group of five students will move into one of the most ambitious high-school science projects in the nation: to identify and isolate all the amino acids in ordinary fruit. To pay the bills, the Federal Government's National Institutes of Health last year gave $2,300, the only research grant it has ever made to a high school...
