Staid Northwest Airlines added a mink collar to its stewardess attire last month-and lifted hemlines just above the knee. To whip up interest in its South American routes, Braniff has just introduced such gourmet dishes as Cebiche Peruano de Pescado (raw fish steeped in lemon juice) and Arroz con Pato Chifa (marinated duckling in soy sauce with date, rice...
