Michigan Supreme Court Justice John D. Voellcer, who as Robert Traver wrote the fictional bestselling Anatomy of a Murder, likes an occasional sauna bath with his Finnish neighbors, deplores meddlers who interfere with the harmless customs of free citizens. Last week, writing the opinion for a decision exonerating four nudists, Justice Voelker-who is privately "revolted" by nudism-went after some offensive cops. Four carloads of flatfeet had raided the nudists' camp, "descending upon these unsuspecting souls like storm troopers, herding them before clicking cameras like plucked chickens."

...Turkish baths go, the establishment beneath London's Imperial Hotel in Russell Square is one of the best. From its Gothic galleries, stone monarchs and prophets (Queen Elizabeth I, Erasmus) have gazed through the steam at generations of bare, Blimpish backsides.

...lunch time from the laundry where she worked, done some housework, and gone to bed right after tea. At 9:20 p.m., Barlow said, he found she had vomited in bed, so he changed the linen.

...First Words. A listener to a new Boulez cantata once recalled the story of the man who took his first bath: "I can't say I liked it, but I think it's something everybody ought to go through once." Despite such reactions, Auvergne-born Pierre Boulez (rhymes with who says), organizer and director of Paris' successful Domaine musical concerts of new music, has established himself securely as the undisputed darling of European music's Young Turks. A new Columbia recording* of his 1955 cantata Le Marteau sans maitre, to a text by Surrealist Poet Rene...
