WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CAPE?

LENGTH: Short :   20 lines
ILLUSTRATION: GRAPHIC:  AP. After 60 years of wearing the same red, yellow and
          blue costume, Superman is getting a make-over with a white-hot and 
          blue outfit that will debut in March. The man of steel will still 
          wear an S, but not the one people are used to. An angular S and 
          jagged stripes resembling lightning bolts are in keeping with 
          Superman's new ``energy-based'' powers. But the cape is gone with 
          the wind.
