...head of the class is Halston, born Roy Halston Frowick in Des Moines 43 years ago. The first to take the "less-is-more" approach to designing clothes, Halston revived the once fashionable sweater set and sweater dress by using cashmere, argyle and matte jersey, and four years ago introduced Japanese-made ultrasuede, the most sought-after covering since the fig leaf. While he dresses some of the world's most fashionable women,* Halston's soft, tactile approach to sportswear has also won him immense success as a ready-to-wear magnate; his off-the-peg clothes sell...
...Pierre Roy, a Do It Yourself veteran, infuses a rich pathos into two laments about the hollowness of show business life, "What's Next" and "Watch the Birdie."

That may be difficult; Democratic Senator William Proxmire of Wisconsin is planning to introduce legislation demanding a speedup in Lockheed's repayment of the Government-guaranteed portion...
Wilkie's story told of Carter's Miachiavellian campaign against liberal ex-Governor Carl Sanders, his strategy of playing to the "redneck" vote and, hence, his tactic of not attacking old-time racists Lester Maddox and Roy Harris. The story also let the air out of Carter's inflated boasts that he streamlined state government without orphaning social programs, by pointing out the confusion in the newly-created juggernaut Department of Human Resources. But the Globe story fairly assessed the divergent opinions of experts on the outcome of Carter's efficiency measures, and pointed out both his post-election emasculation...
