"Some women have gotten angry when I tell them they're a D-cup. They think that's huge," said a bra fitter in one of those upteenth style stories...

...crowds that have come to Venice for the Biennale seem a little dazed by the sun and heat - it's 36C in the lush gardens of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, and everybody is wearing linen shorts, T shirts and sandals. Everybody, that is, except the mountainous man striding through the gardens in his dark suit and tie. Thomas Krens is hard to miss in any setting; in Venice, he attracts knowing glances from the art world crowd.

"He said when I was dead in my grave, I'd have beautiful breasts," she recalls.

Her cyst-riddled ovaries were removed, and she developed eight stomach tumors. "There's no history...

...crowds were greater. Police were obliged to regulate the queues in other "key cities," notably Kansas City, Cincinnati, Norfolk, Omaha, Boston, St. Louis, Richmond, Chicago, Washington, Philadelphia, Jacksonville, Indianapolis, Minneapolis, New Orleans, Atlanta. In England the railroads ran excursion trains to the London exhibition. Englishmen paid one shilling & sixpence (36c) to look at the models. They ordered 64,000 cars. In Manhattan a rascal took advantage of the local gullibility. He passed through the showroom throngs with an "order book" in his hand, promising delivery in three weeks upon a deposit of $25.
