...Realm of the Senses. Having lived under wraps so long, Colette went straight onto the music-hall stage, where she threw off the wraps with a vengeance. In mimes and dances she displayed "[first] her uplifted bosom, and then the whole of her harmonious nudity." But she continued to write, too, and her subject matter was as nude as her mimes. The world of the senses became Colette's special province, and she proceeded to map it with audacious knowingness...

...down last week. As the gasps subsided along Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honore, and the fashion editors took a second look, they saw that Designer Christian Dior's flat look was not so flat after all. Fewer than a third of Dior's new dresses minimized the bosom, and even these bore no resemblance to the droopy formlessness of the Jazz Age. Most dresses were molded from hipbone to mid-bust, creating a long, svelte torso, a high and undeniably sexy bust line.

Sound Trucks & Spielers. For three weeks, Frenchmen had been following the Tour. Truce in Indo-China, terrorism in Morocco, even Fashion Designer Dior's offensive against the bosom all receded while the nation concentrated on the biggest bike race in the world.

...routine, summer-weight Technicolor film that spends most of its time following a road race from the Canadian border to Lower California. Sidney Blackmer and Paul Kelly huff and puff at each other as a pair of old-crony businessmen; Piper Laurie, a talented exponent of the bosom-and-pout school of acting, stamps her foot occasionally and flirts tamely with Villain Don Taylor; Actor Curtis runs into a hero's usual hard luck in the race-he loses his way, cracks an engine block, is clearly out of the running. But to no one's surprise...

...house his own canvases. Since then the gallery has grown steadily bigger and richer, and last year it added a strikingly modern, $1,500,000 wing. But for generations the student favorite at the gallery has been a thoughtful, kind-looking lady who clutches a rabbit to her velvet bosom. The painting is attributed to Piero di Cosimo, and beautifully combines Piero's relaxed good cheer with the dressy formalism of his native Florence...
