...care less, about what silhouette was new or what skirt length was smart. Today, through TV, newspapers, magazines and the movies, she knows what's new and has a pretty good idea of what she wants." When his father started B. G. in 1901, said Goodman, his object was to satisfy "the smallest possible segment of the American population. But in 1959, we sold hundreds of ready-to-wear dresses that retailed for more than $500 and a remarkable quantity for more than...
...Muttered Word. In the Fifth Republic of Charles de Gaulle, other voices may object but cannot prevail. The National Assembly is growing resentful of its constitutional impotence. Leftists are impatient over wage freezes and mad about state aid to church schools (a touchy issue that led to the Education Minister's resignation).

Weinberg, the 44-year-old physicist who is the lab's director, told them what was inside the tank: an experimental reactor in which liquid fuel replaces the troublesome solid-fuel elements of conventional power reactors. "A very bold idea," conceded Professor Vasily S. Emelyanov, chief of the Russian group. Last week Dr. Weinberg cautiously told his laboratory mates...
...Catholics, Protestants, Jews and left-wing atheists; the 20-odd guests this week include an Oxford don, an engineer from El Salvador, a ballet dancer and an opera singer. The one thing they have in common is that they are intellectuals. And the European intellectual is the single object of the Schaeffers' mission in the mountains...
