...Manhattan's Plaza Hotel were anything but ordinary. Amies himself, for example, experimented with a boldly checked, double-breasted gangster suit and ruffled shirt-a combination too much even for him. "Rather awful," he blurted. "I hope it does not look idiotic." Paris Designer Pierre Cardin's vision of future male fashion included black leather pants with a matching leather shirt, laced up the front. Roman Tailor Angelo Litrico, who has made suits for John F. Kennedy, Nikita Khrushchev and Dr. Christiaan Barnard, claimed inspiration from the astronauts; he showed, reading from top to bottom, a visored crash...
...Sincere congratulations for the colorful, informative and provocative feature on home decoration [Feb. 9]. The role of the professional interior designer projects other levels of skill, vision and involvement-just beginning to emerge and find expression in community consciousness. To implement this role, members of our professional organization have adopted a five-point plan that includes working toward: educational expansion and degree-granting curriculums at the college-university level; establishment of a voluntary accreditation program; and steps to increase the depth and caliber of its involvement and study in today's complex areas of community planning, social-science research...

Arlo Guthrie, 20, expresses antiwar sentiment in Alice's Restaurant (TIME, Jan. 12), but he wryly folds it into the overall theme of his own picaresque adventures with bureaucratic authority...
...immensely theatrical, sensuous and intellectual. Apart from being Pirandello's greatest work, Henry IV is a fascinating precursor of the entire theater of the absurd-the anguish over existence in Sartre and Camus, the guerrilla warfare against ossified language and the mass mind in lonesco, the bleak, alienated vision of Beckett, the sense of man eternally acting a role in Genet, and the use of the stage as a self-contained universe in Pinter. In a towering display of the actor's craft, Kenneth Haigh confers unbrooked, unhinged regality on the title character while coiling the inner...
