...Carefulness. With everyone mindful of the troublemaking potential of Castro's Communist Cuba, the security arrangements were indeed remarkable. Some 50 U.S. Secret Service men were there; a U.S. Army company moved in from the Canal Zone; the carrier Wasp, its jet fighters just three minutes away, cruised offshore. Some of the food for Kennedy's private meals was flown into San Jose from the Wasp. Preparatory to it all, the U.S. had requested and received from Costa Rica the right to screen all visa requests for entry into the little country. Among those who applied and were...

Since a wasp-sting can be dangerous unless it is licked, Miss Stearns, playing the wife of an ambitious politician, asks this little service of him.

Balmain's tubular sheaths stick to the body like spies but turn coy beneath coverup chiffon overlayers. Goma's collection-the theme is "looping the loop"- shows wasp waists and a high bustline. Griffe, who claims to have "rediscovered woman," calls his shape the "jet line," fans permanent pleating out from just underneath the arms or from mid-front and back to the hem. Jacques Heim's spiral silhouette whirls across the body with slanting and circular...
