William Delano blends in his own personality that unique combination of idealism and pragmatism which has become the Peace Corps' trademark. During World War II, he lef the protective towers of Yale to volunteer; after the war and his graduation from college he served for two years in Berlin with the American Friends Service Committee before entering Law School. He left a comfortable Wall Street law practice to join the Peace Corps--first as General Counsel, then as Special Assistant to Sargent Shriver, and now as Secretary General of the International Secretariat for Volunteer Service. Recalling his work...
...Manhattan's Village Vanguard. On opening night the turn-away crowd was studded with jazz notables anxious to hear what the bearded musician had been up to in retirement. Plenty, as it turned out. After two long, probing numbers on the white plastic saxophone that is his trademark, he casually broke out a violin and began sawing away with his left hand at a furious clip, torturing the strings into a chilling, whining frenzy. Then, without a word, Coleman uncased a trumpet and raged on in piercing splashes of startled, yelping notes...
After Leftist Joao Goulart was deposed last March, Brazil's new government declared all-out war on three items that had become Goulart's trademark: Communism, corruption and inflation. By last week President Humberto Castello Branco and his revolutionaries had dealt forcibly with the first two. Inflation is proving far more difficult.

...teau cannot stand on its plot alone. But Vadim goes farther to bring it to sure ruin by translating high comedy into languid boudoir farce. Time and again he sacrifices wit, worldliness and style to make room for a blonde (Vitti) in a bed sheet-the Vadim trademark-then repeats the obligatory routine with a brunette (Hardy). What he conveys, at last, is a boyish conviction that these bored, civilized votaries of pleasure might be just the sort for a fun weekend, but no longer. Sagan's sidelong glance at the enigma of women, in Vadim's view...
...chairman (1948-49) with a gift for the quick quip, Scott was elected to the Senate in 1958 with an impressive upset victory over then Governor George Leader. This year his Democratic opposition is much less formidable: Scott is running against Genevieve Blatt, a 51 -year-old spinster whose trademark is an assortment of high-crowned, beflowered hats. Miss Blatt won by a mere 491 votes, out of more than 1,000,000 cast, in an April primary that left Pennsylvania's Democratic Party bitterly divided. Her nomination is still being contested in court...
