Just 40 miles south of San Francisco stretch the white sands of San Gregorio. One of the West Coast's most beautiful beaches, it is also one of the most secluded. The 1½-mile stretch is hemmed in by steep sand cliffs, access is difficult and for some thirty years it has been a hideaway for a quiet band of nudists-men, women and sometimes whole families who descend on weekends and merrily remove their clothes...
With reporters prowling the area, Dairy Farmer Walter Bridge, who owns one of the two primitive roads leading to the beach, closed the path when newspapers publicized the fact that he was charging $1 for parking. That left only one access road through the jointly owned property of two avowed anti-nudists, and last week this too was closed with an armed guard to bar the way. But nothing seemed to daunt the enthusiastic nudists, who continued arriving wave on wave. Some made their way around the southern promontory at low tide; others formed human chains down the dangerous cliffside...

...really save a life, prevent a hold up, or get aid faster to an accident." If the six-month experiment works out, other Bell systems across the country are expected to follow suit. If so, they will only be catching up. Paris has already begun installing pay phones direct access to the operator in emergencies, and Londoners have long able to get help by simply dialing...
Talk of sea-bottom exploration, aquaculture (underwater agriculture) and even water-breathing, gilled humans used to be dismissed as mere rapture of the deeps. But no longer. By extending his technology from the present 400-ft. levels to 5,000 ft., man may soon gain direct access to the continental shelves and slopes. Potential result: conquest of another 10% of the earth's surface-an area roughly equal to that of the moon...
