That sort of headline hugging makes it tough on the average starlet who is eager enough for the spotlight but doesn't care to go quite that far to attract it. And so Tanya Lopert, girl starlet and daughter of a United Artists vice president, had to be content with something less spectacular but considerably more ladylike. With Daddy in tow, Tanya made her big entrance at a party at the Palazzo Ca' Rezzonico, dressed in a spangled magenta mini-gown slit to the thigh...

One way of up-grading the faculty, Davis suggested, is to bring visiting professors to train the local teachers. Such methods might also be used on the secondary school level, another researcher suggested...

Slavik makes the point, though, that the imitator usually puts his own imprint on what he imitates; he did not design his stores to resemble American drugstores, but "we knew the name would attract, and we were right."
