...showings wound up in Paris last week, the question seemed to be: What do you wear if you are over 20? To emphasize the point, Yves St. Lau rent sent his models out with their hair done up in little-girl braids or little-boy helmets. The colors were as gay as a picture book; in fact, that is where the idea came from, St. Laurent explained. His mother gave him a book of Mondrian's paintings just last Christmas, and his showstoppers were all movable Mondrians, practically gift-wrapped: jersey dresses splashed with squares of stand...
...buddies-but not the jewels. Through contacts, the police began shadowy negotiations with the underworld, eventually regained nine of the stones, among them the Star of India (TIME, Jan. 15). Chapter III: New York's gang-busting District Attorney Frank Hogan, 63, disclosed that the DeLong ruby had wound up in the hands of some Miami usurers. They were asking $21,000 ransom, and at first Frank Hogan agreed. But 48 hours later, the D.A. snorted, "My office will not be used as an instrument in a ransom or blackmail deal like this."

...major impetus for this Draconian doctrine traces back to 1911 when an upstate New York gravestone dealer named Donald MacPherson was driving his new Buick at 15 m.p.h.

Therefore, said Buick, it could not be held liable to MacPherson for negligence...
Oaths on Iron. Benin sculpture is more naturalistic than most African totems, as evidenced in 30 of the original bronze plaques lent by the British Museum and currently on view at the University of Pennsylvania's museum. The bronze surfaces are intricately designed for the play of light-wound copper bracelets, brazen armor and engraved rosette backgrounds, which set off the bold, stubby torsos of the figures. Most remarkable was the high level of skill displayed in employing the complex craft of casting with the lost-wax process. Descendants of the great smiths of Benin still revere Igue-igha...
...nation's airline executives felt a little like the man who asked the boss for a raise and wound up being asked to take a cut. They recently petitioned the Civil Aeronautics Board for a 50?-per-ticket increase in first-class fares, hoping that the raise would make up for some of the $17 million in annual excess-baggage charges that will begin to diminish this week when more generous baggage allowances go into effect.* The CAB not only turned down the proposal, but told the lines that they are in an excellent position now to reduce fares...
