...beaches, to the Spanish coastline, where bulgy Brünnhildes have already made the authorities regret their decision not to enforce a longtime ban on bikinis. West Germany's men's wear industry in recent years has had to add a new clothing classification, tactfully dubbed Boss or Manager size; nearly a quarter of all new clothes are now bought by customers of managerial girth, while sales of "normal" sizes are diminishing...
...third week, the seven-union walkout led by the Newspaper Guild against the morning Advertiser and afternoon Star-Bulletin, Hawaii's only two island-wide dailies, has become a contest of wills between hardheaded Financier Chinn Ho, who dominates both papers, and Jack Hall, the tough boss of militant unionism in the islands. At first the unions wanted an across-the-board pay raise of $10 a week. The publishers offered a sliding scale downward from $3.50. The gap narrowed to the point where there was only $2.75 separating their positions. But negotiations broke down, and the strike...
There were obviously issues that never got to the bargaining table. Mainland-born Hall, who sailed to Hawaii in 1935, teamed up with West Coast Labor Boss Harry Bridges and now presides over a diminishing domain of plantation and dock workers, has been looking for a way to organize Hawaii's white-collar workers.

A Rhodes scholar and an Oxford-trained lawyer, Minnesotan Moe gave "Guggie" fellowships the status of a U.S. intellectual knighthood, personally knighted some 5,000 artists, scholars and writers to the tune of about $1,500,000 a year. Moe's genius was to spot promising people in their 30s, give them time and money to make good their talents. No man has done more to nurture creative Americans (Physicist Arthur Holly...
Women of the World is another collage from Italian Director Gualtiero Jacopetti (Mondo Cane), who pieces together snippets of film with an eye to the ironies of adjacency. On some cutting-room floor he found a covey of beauties, crones, trulls, trollops, moms, boss ladies, drabs, drudges, and just plain broads, and he has put side by side on the screen the anatomical, clinical and professional details of their lives. Women's charms include: a Japanese operation in which breasts are pumped up with liquid paraffin; a trip through a Los Angeles falsie factory; a window-shopping tour...
