Fashion trends rise from the street say FIT director
Robert Riley of the Fashion Institute of Technology argues that today’s style emerges from youth and street fashion rather than high fashion houses. He notes jeans as a youth badge and contrasts past fashion leaders with the present diverse look. The exhibit The Look runs through Sept 24 showcasing 1765 to modern styles with more than 70 costumes.

Legless Pilot Plans Solo Cross Country Flight
Alverna Williams, 48, who lost both legs as a child, aims to fly solo in the Powder Puff Derby’s 30th anniversary flight from California to Florida on July 14. She has raised funds from friends and fellow pilots as sponsors remain elusive, and she notes the race’s openness to less powerful planes this year. Williams earned the first FAA‑issued pilot license for a handicapped person after a 1947 auto accident and has since mastered hand‑controlled flying and a life of varied achievements.

Language Barriers Broken at Cambridge School
In JoAnn Sequeira’s first grade class at Martin Luther King Jr. School Cambridge eight of 17 non English speaking children entered the year unable to speak English. Now they read English as well as their American peers. Harvard University housing across the street sends many children to the King school and Caulfield notes 50 to 60 of the 551 pupils are children of Harvard graduate students. Many arrive only speaking their native languages which others in the school also speak. The staff says no special program was needed as students learn through immersion and teaching by classmates.
