...keep underthings out of sight. Plunging armholes, cut-outs and open midriffs bare whatever necklines don't reveal. Yesterday's brassieres were sturdy supports; today they have become slim bands in the wispiest of fabrics, with halter straps for bareback dresses, and low sides for bib tops. Since the bare spots change from dress to dress, the bras are flexible, come with convertible straps that crisscross every which way for one-shoulder, no-shoulder, U, V or X decolletes. Panties have shrunk to bikini briefs; petticoats begin at the hip, are a scant 16 in. from...

He logged 100,000 miles in ten months, collected $3,400,000 in cash and pledges from loyal alumni and Iowa farmers, who turned the pockets of their bib overalls inside out to match the foundation's challenge. Then he set about to advance the "business of the liberal arts college." He raised faculty salaries 10% (enough to satisfy several would-be defectors), gave more students more scholarships, and started, far ahead of schedule, a long-range construction...
