...years, during which weak consumer demand and Government policy have kept retail prices relatively stable, thus halting the price inflation. But cost inflation, which hits industry through rising labor and overhead costs, has not been stopped. If industry cannot offset higher costs with higher prices. Wall Street sees even slimmer profit margins in the long run. And since stock prices in the end reflect the profit potential of industry, some analysts argue that the market will inevitably have to go down if profit margins continue to narrow...
Line Spies. Cardin shortens his suit jackets and flares his skirts, even forsakes his trademark swing coats for a slimmer, fitted model. Grės, who has done more through the years for draped gowns than anyone since Phidias, keeps the soft shoulder line and low-set sleeve but lets the waistline wander obliquely from a high empire front to a low back, includes six "intimacy dresses" (lounging costumes with harem pants).

Scotty is all too shortly a puppy in love. As he did in his first book, Lost Slimmer, Novelist Davis, 32, beautifully captures the long, grave dialogues on the borders of teenhood, the spasms of physical wildness, the sudden paroxysms of laughter. His adolescents are as real as any living writer's, unless the writer is J. D. Salinger. And there is a Salinger touch in the tragedy that follows. Scotty begins talking of marriage in 20 or 30 years, when "the entire social structure will be changed," and a sobered Katie realizes that she does not want...
