Last September, Arthur began dating Joan Pemrich, a 15-year-old high school freshman, telling her that she was his first girl friend. Says she: "He didn't act like a 21-year-old. He didn't know how to bowl or rollerskate. I don't think he knew how to do anything." Bremer impressed her as "weird" and "childish" by insisting that they talk about her "hang-ups." One hang-up was her refusal to accompany him to pornographic movies. "He really needed some kind of love," she says of their breakup, "but it wasn...
...castoff items -ranging from rusty potato peelers to used refrigerators-at castoff prices. In the past few years, however, the sales have grown too big for the one-family garage; they have moved into farm fields, drive-in theaters, convention halls and even Pasadena's famous Rose Bowl. A far cry from the old neighborhood affairs, which were largely stocked with merchandise from family attics, the new supersales have become major outlets for professional merchants anxious to dispose of leftover goods...
California, naturally, has produced the most spectacular bazaar of them all: an enormous affair conducted in the Rose Bowl, where bargain hunting now rivals football as the favorite sport. Every second Sunday in the month, year round, some 35,000 customers queue up outside the Bowl to pay the 50? that admits them to a day of offbeat shopping.

One designer, Frances Bi-coll, offered second-graded bikinis for $6 that if perfect might retail at I. Magnin for $25. She explained, "We can sell them here for below wholesale and at least break even, instead of holding them over into next year." Mrs. J.F. Whitecotton, who until last month worked as an assistant in a school cafeteria, peddles different wares...
...from their stillness, which is -if such a combination can be imagined-both bland and maniacal. Hockney's enormous Still Life (Glass Table), 1972, is played down almost to silence; none of the spidery, wandering and quirkish line of his graphic work survives in it. Object answers object, bowl to lamp shade to vase of tulips, across an expanse of plate glass that seems as large and expectant as a De Chirico piazza. Everything is given extreme distinctness but deprived of weight, and the effect is decidedly eerie...
