...Shape So Shapely. Today, no fad any more but an established part of winter life, stretch tights are everywhere: a book-loaded matron trudged up snowy Beacon Hill in Boston last week, a veritable bulk of muskrat coat and red tights; Los Angeles ladies strolled down Wilshire Boulevard topped in sunglasses and bottomed in tights; and across the country, suburbanites in colored tights wheeled through supermarkets with daughters swinging similarly bestockinged legs out of shopping carts. Because stretch tights have a way of making almost any shape look more shapely, because they are as warming as the hottest toddy...
Most river traffic is still in commonplace bulk items for which barge rates are unbeatably low (an average of 2 mills a ton. v. 16 mills by rail and 6.5?by truck).

Meaders (pronounced Medders), 55, announced that he was negotiating to buy Houston's Brown...

There are countless books filled with topical trivia, like Countdown for Cindy, the story of a blushing girl astronaut. There are stacks of books so eerily old-fashioned that their manuscripts must have been found in somebody's attic, like Susan Peck, Late of Boston. And there are mountains of dull and dutiful books dedicated to teaching children everything from fishing to fission. Mostly, there are far too many books whose size and gaudy color will no doubt divert...
