...third level, jeans are reasonably priced-if not downright cheap. Lees, for example, makes a velvet-corduroy version for $11 that comes in a dozen colors, is available either straight-legged or bell-bottomed, and is slow to sit out or bag at the knees. There is another advantage. Jeans were originally cut only for men and, inexplicably-despite mass sales to women-still are. Thus there is a choice in length of leg along with waist size, making alterations virtually unnecessary...
...Nixons' last trip to Europe, Connie abruptly disappeared in mid-Ireland, leaving reporters covering Mrs. Nixon with no one to brief them. Where had she gone? Connie had a moose-hunting date in Canada with her husband and she had flown off to keep it-and, incidentally, to bag a moose...
...good, the funny cards exemplify the peculiarly American gift for one-line gags. "LEON! LEON!" sings a caroler, who hurriedly explains, "I MEAN NOEL! NOEL! (Sorry, my music was backwards)." A card with the message IF A BIG FAT MAN CREEPS IN SOME NIGHT AND STUFFS YOU INTO A BAG, DON'T WORRY ...

Still, in all his 40 years of poaching Thorpe was fined a total of only $360 and had "four good guns" confiscated−a small penalty, he figures, compared with the yearly bag records he keeps in a blue notebook. In 1942, his best year, he took 48 pheasant, 72 partridge, 68 hare, 1 woodcock, 106 geese, 146 mallard, 231 widgeon, 193 shelduck, 2 shoveler, 1 tufted duck, 61 plover, 18 pigeon, 79 redshank, 50 knot, 40 curlew, 1 reeve, 1 gadwall, 1 pintail, 1 black-tailed godwit, 2 whimbrel and 6 rabbit. In the early 1960s, the invasion...
...most likely candidate, so far, is a tousle-haired Englishman named Elton John, 23. Because he burst on the U.S. scene only four months ago, it is too early to tell whether John is a superman. But he is certainly a one-man music factory with a rich bag of assorted talents. He plays piano with the urbane primitivism of a Glenn Gould thumping out variations on rock 'n' roll's Jerry Lee Lewis. His singing style ranges from a Mick Jagger snarl to a delicate, insinuating plaint that recalls Jose Feliciano. As a composer, John...
