...Vegas, one of three nightspots that had featured bare-bosomed chorus girls bowed to the Catholic Church's protest that nude shows were contrary to the moral and divine law (TIME, Aug. 25). But while Beldon Katelman, president of El Rancho Vegas, apologized to church authorities and put his girls back in bras, the Stardust staunchly retained its twelve nudes and the Dunes added four to its original...
Philip Morris (Parliament, Marlboro) and Lorillard (Kent, Old Gold) test all cigarettes down to a bare inch of butt. Other companies criticize this system because it produces higher tar yields for longer cigarettes. Another argument rages over what to report. American Tobacco measures "total solids" in smoke. Competitors have found that "solids" include tar, nicotine and some moisture; thus the advantage goes to American Tobacco's Hit Parade brand, whose tissue-paper-like filter absorbs more moisture than competing cellulose acetate filters. Hit Parade also claims "over 400,000 filter traps"; Lorillard says it could claim millions of traps...
Kramer's recipe is to pick up a story shell of mollusk-like simplicity and crack it open almost raw to lay bare the flesh beneath. In Champion (1949), his hero was a heel who could hit, and would hit anybody to get to the top; in High Noon (1952), a lawman alone against four avenging gunslingers.

Behind the coupled heroes, the moviemakers have sketched a mud-grimed tableau of the blood-happy townsmen giving chase and a soul-weary sheriff-played to sunken-eyed, raspy-throated perfection by Theodore Bikel. If Sidney Poitier's wild-eyed, bare-fanged portrayal of Cullen is overwrought, it has at least prodded Teen-Agitator Curtis into the first performance of his career that will incline the old folks to a modest whoop...
...which is of its nature indecent, suggestive or calculated to excite thoughts or actions contrary to the Sixth Commandment." Some Vegas saloonkeepers were quick to agree. "We've never uncovered a girl's navel," cried the Sands' Jack Entratter. But El Rancho Choreographer Barry Ashton retorted: "Bare chests are the thing here-it's what the public wants, and we're giving it to them. It will soon be nothing to see a nude girl. All the showgirls along the Strip will be replaced by nudes...
