Most of the New Guard of Seventh Avenue designers, however, swing right along with Rudi. "I have never enjoyed designing more," exclaims Chester Weinberg, 37, who has been on his own for barely a year and a half long enough to pick up the patronage of such Manhattan pacesetters as Best-Dressed Amanda Burden, Pop Art Promoter Ethel Scull and Anne Ford Uzielli. Says Weinberg: "This youth movement is just right for me." Although he experimented with mid-calf midis for his evening clothes, for day-time he kept his dresses short, made them pretty, with lots of ruffles...
Constructive Stand. "America has taken a consistently active and constructive stand in its search for a peaceful solution in Viet Nam," said the Premier, who last month finished a ten-nation swing throughout Southeast Asia. "I was deeply impressed during my recent trip that the U.S. efforts in Viet Nam were well understood and appreciated by the governments and peoples of the Asian countries." Sato warmed Johnson's heart further when he pronounced himself "keenly aware that the position of a leader is often a lonely one filled with tribulations."

...style for his own college band; later he became a drummer for Glenn Miller, a writer and editor for the old Metronome magazine, and a producer for records, radio and TV.

The six-lane concrete strip lets him proceed at 65 m.p.h. toward his office in town-except when there are so many other cars going the same way that he can listen to all of Beethoven's Ninth. By the time he gets to the office, his wife has already called-from the pink, push-button Princess extension...
...that anyone would wish: the sweep of Red Square, an entertainment cast of thousands, the backdrop of the Kremlin and, later, the elegant Palace of Congresses as a banquet hall for 2,000 guests. But the hosts seemed downright edgy, as if expecting one of the guests to swing from a chandelier or pour champagne on someone's head. Indeed, some of the partygoers at last week's celebration of the Soviet Union's 50th anniversary figuratively jangled a few chandeliers and threw a goodly amount of cold water, if not champagne, over the proceedings...
