Champion of Freedom. Cushing has become a champion of freedom within the church. He tacitly allowed Dr. John Rock, a communicant of the Boston archdiocese, to argue for the moral licitness of a birth-control pill. He welcomed Swiss Theologian Hans Küng, one of Europe's most advanced Catholic thinkers, to Boston, and wrote a preface for Küng's latest book, Structures of the Church. Cushing says that the Index of Forbidden Books is "meaningless," and "they should get rid of the whole thing." He wants to drop the promises that non-Catholic partners...

Some designs were legitimate, some looked more like gags: Micia tore holes that left a knitted overblouse looking like supersized Swiss cheese, showed a G-string bikini beneath to any mouse man enough to peep. Glans left only two prim pockets on an otherwise totally transparent shirt. Veneziani attached five-inch-wide suspenders to the waist of a party skirt and called it an evening gown; Princess Irene Galitzine cut a V that...
