If the two teams were to play a series, the current Lakers would cruise, defeating their Inglewood ancestors in five games...
Having bidden BRYANT GUMBEL goodbye on his departure from morning television only five years ago, when he left NBC's Today, we may find it difficult to muster the necessary emotion to do so again.

...flip back to pages 66 and 67, immediately preceding the Lane Bryant ad is a spread called “Ready to Wear.” Eight trendy outfits, eight skinny models. There’s the first date outfit and the groovy casual outfit, the party dress and the work suit, everything a girl could need to look her best for any occasion. Everything, that is, if you can fit into...
