...Tour's elaborate entourage includes three Red Cross cars staffed by nurses who can bandage riders as they pedal, mobile machine shops to keep the bikes in trim, truckloads of extra bicycles and parts. One of the promoters' biggest expenses is providing saddle snacks for the bicyclists, whose jaws work almost as busily as their legs. This year riders gulped 1,000 roast chickens, 300 lbs. of chocolate, 21,000 quarts of mineral water, 100,000 prunes. Barred from the menu: white wine and fried food, which induce cramps. Press helicopters hovered overhead. From tortuous mountain roads, where...
Goldwater has that rarest of political attributes-star quality. A tanned, trim (185 Ibs.) six footer with searching blue eyes behind his dark-rimmed glasses, and a thinning shock of silver hair, Goldwater has more than his share of political sex appeal. "If Nixon had his looks," a lady Republican murmured after a Goldwater performance, "we never would have lost...
...outlook was dim. Souvanna is recognized by the Communists as Premier, and 2,000 good troops commanded by Captain Kong Le support him.

Fabrics, more than color, are the big highlights. Leather, knit and tweed are big (often combined, particularly by Bonnie Cashin). Cassini and Pauline Trigère have richly printed brocades, Dior-New York shows them in fine, polished, often solid colors. Tiffeau is using lizard in trim and whole cloth for a waterproof, black evening raincoat. For shimmer and shine, the original beads-and-glitter girl, Roxanne of Samuel Winston, has some old-style heavy beaded dresses as well as new lighter ones. Scaasi's long dresses have so much sparkle that many come with protective theatrical capes. Larry...
United medallions appeared on Capital stewardess uniforms, and Capital planes were repainted United's white with red and blue trim. Capital (and the Civil Aeronautics Board) accepted Capital's disappearance because there was no reasonable alternative; its incautious purchase of 60 turboprop Viscounts seven years ago had helped push Capital to the verge of bankruptcy. But for Hawaiian-born William ("Pat") Patterson, 61, United's president, the deal had more positive appeal. Capital's routes, running chiefly in the Southeast with extensions to the Midwest, neatly complement United's transcontinental and West Coast runs. Because...
