...Please. Inevitably, Norstad's proposal met with less than unanimous welcome. British Socialist John Strachey, onetime Minister of War under Clement Attlee, nervously declared that the West's nuclear strength should be placed "well back," preferably "on the other side of the Atlantic." French spokesmen made it plain that, with or without the Norstad proposal, De Gaulle intends to go on building his own atomic capacity. There were questions, too, about the plan's feasibility.

So rhapsodized Pants Internationale last week in Los Angeles at a showing of California designs for 78 fashion editors from all over the U.S. Indeed, pants plain and fancy were being worn everywhere. The newest pants, stretch-pants adapted from European ski suits for the beach and living room, are so tight they have stretched the word slacks out of shape.
