These days Paulina Porizkova in a swimsuit is everybody's favorite model. Also without a swimsuit. The May issue of GQ magazine features her both ways. In Key West, Fla., Porizkova, 20, was shooting a men's beachwear picture spread with Model Jeff Aquilon to accompany a story on topless beaches. The plan was for her to be featured in the background.

Coming into the stretch, he was a length and a half behind Aquilon, last year's winner. The Hussar Duke urged his horse, stooping in his stirrups, but Jehu was tired. Aquilon finished first, Mr. Polly second, Jehu third. Bookmakers made money, but several of the Duke's friends, officers of the loth Hussars, lost more than they could afford...
