...hope you published "Mirror, Mirror" [March 15] solely to allow us commoners a rare insight into the hideous and selfish lives of the so-called "Beautiful People." Princess Pignatelli would better be called an expert in deception. When one is unable to focus on the plight of the world, then I fear...
Among his harsh critics was Eugenia Sheppard. "What a relief," she confided to her New York Post readers, "to write at last that a fashion collection is frankly, definitely and completely hideous." Chimed in the Guardian's Alison Adburgham: "A tour de force of bad taste . . . nothing could exceed the horror of this exercise in kitsch." The Daily Telegraph: "Nauseating"; France-Soir: "A great farce"; Le Figaro: "Un long gag." Women's Wear Daily, once Yves's leading fan, called his work "poor" and urged him to "shake off the weirdo and kooky influences." Others blamed Good...
Though unified by their vision of man's potentially hideous future, environmentalists violently disagree over basic causes and cures. One school holds that an ever-increasing population's demand for higher living standards must also create ever-increasing amounts of pollution. Unchecked population growth is thus the chief villain.

Last week, at a Chicago meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, four champions from both camps clashed...
...bright hopes, a united and powerful Germany proved neither noble nor patient. Twice Bismarck's heirs burst across their borders in cataclysmic wars that ended with two new superpowers, the U.S. and the Soviet Union, facing each other across a divided continent?a division dramatically symbolized by the hideous masonry of the Berlin Wall. A quarter of a century after the end of World War II, no European peace treaty has been written, and, in a very real sense, the results of the war have not been resolved. Willy Brandt is in effect seeking to end World...
Warsaw is still dominated by the hideous 38-story Palace of Culture, Russia's gift to Poland, but its Stalinist style has become an empty symbol. Downtown Warsaw, with its shiny new glass-and-steel buildings and wide sidewalks, exudes freshness and openness. The women of the major cities are completely attuned to Western fashion; Warsaw's Moda Polska fashion house sends its designers to Paris and London showings. Despite the advent of the midi, the mini is still in vogue. Even Warsaw policewomen wear minis, serving as reminders that the Polish leg can be as well turned...
