...than in the first quarter of 1974. Conspicuously absent are the usual numbers of discarded major appliances such as stoves, washing machines and refrigerators. New York City's household and construction wastes dwindled by nearly 1 million tons in 1974, and continue to diminish in 1975. Pickings are slimmer in the Atlanta area too. In Fulton County, Ga., because of factory shutdowns, refuse production by industries has slipped 80% in the past eight months...

Dior's Marc Bohan played a variation on the theme, dubbed the Big Droop, while Cardin swooped in with an offbeat bat-winged dress featuring sleeves starting at the hem. Even Courreges, daddy of the mini, decorously draped the knee in this year's designs, threatening to leave mankind with nothing but fond memories of leg-watching...
