...side. The Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations is digging into corruption in Army noncommissioned officers' clubs in the U.S., Germany and Viet Nam. The key figures implicated have held two of the Army's most respected positions. One is Sergeant Major William O. Wooldridge, 46, once the top enlisted man in the Army. He has been accused of running a "Little Mafia" of senior sergeants that systematically bilked service clubs. The other is retired Major General Carl C. Turner, 56, the Army's former provost marshal general, or head military policeman, who later served as chief...

The confusion in attitudes persists; while most Indian women haughtily reject the ubiquitous miniskirt, the partygoing younger ones have adopted the "hipster sari." The bottom portion is tied low enough to expose a generous expanse of the upper derrière, while the top, or choli, has been reduced to startlingly provocative dimensions...
More Mileage. In switching cars to natural gas, the big advantage is that the internal-combustion engine can be retained.

It is an opera whose trills, turns and top tones defy the deftest voices. The stilted dramaturgy of the libretto can reduce the most colorful actress to a drab cardboard gray...
...fair on the subject of homosexuality, he also exhibits a certain squeamish distaste for the subject. The evening's coup de théâtre is the drag ball that opens Act II. Lavishly costumed for a kind of inverts' Mardi Gras, the imperial army's top officers cavort in the home of the Baron von Epp. Dennis King plays the role in tiara and gown, and flutters an imperious fan with the regal disdain of a queen of players. At no other point does the play rise to this level of theatricality. Salome Jens adorns...
