...weekends in the country, Donald Brooks will turn her into a swaggering Robin Hood with leather leggings and jaunty plumed hats by Milliner Archie Eason, worn perhaps with a short, checked polo coat and matching shorts, or with a pony-skin raincoat. If she would rather be Tom Sawyer, Chester Weinberg has just the thing: avocado green velvet overalls that come to midcalf, and are topped by a lace-trimmed blouse. With George Stavropoulos, she can play the Greek goddess in classical floor-length gowns trailing yards of filmy chiffon...
Touchdowns & Astronauts. Oscar de la Renta believes in girl Cossacks - a long beige coat bordered with fur and tied with a belt, to be worn over a minidress and shorts with thigh-high leather boots. Pauline Trigère offers the medieval look with hooded neckpieces that come off to reveal deep V necklines in close-fitting, floor-length gowns with long sleeves. For lady football fans, there are Geoffrey Beene"touchdown" dresses - long, sequined sacks in purple with yellow shoulder patches or arm stripes and big numerals on the front, just like overextended football jerseys.

Understandably, he has few friends among his fellow jocks. Nor is it very surprising that in eleven years, he has been "set down," or suspended, for a total of 608 days...
...reconstituted collagen, the Japan Leather Co. uses odds and ends of calf skin left over when the hides have been cut for making shoes. After weeks of soaking and washing hide in various chemicals, including enzymes, to remove the linkage tails, Dr. Nishihara pours collagen into thin sheets resembling cellophane. The resulting membrane makes fine, easily digestible sausage casing. It also gave the Rogosin Labs' Dr. Rubin and Dr. Kurt Stenzel an idea for its first medical application-use in the artificial kidney, which has a filter membrane of sausage-casing cellophane. In laboratory glassware the collagen membrane...
