Wagnerian Supermen. For a "searching fee" that averages about $50, buxom Frau Paech and other professional Cupid chasers will methodically remake the whimsical old game according to cold Teutonic logic. Clients are interviewed for the necessary information-background, interests, social status, financial situation -and brought together through carefully matched briefing sheets. For about one in every three couples she introduces, Frau Paech manages to find the right combination, and collects a "success fee" equal to the searching fee-unless the happy couple forget to notify her that they are getting married...

...worth $14). At a loss for a model, her father draped Phillida in a sheet, sat his daughter down with a stick in one hand to represent Britannia's spear. Her traditional olive branch was sketched in later. Some found the new design an agreeable change from the buxom figure on most other money. Other Britons thought Phillitannia "clumsily designed," "like Snow White" and "too much like a bathing beauty."

...lurid ads either. Summer-skin is neither torrid, frank nor provocative; it is in fact a puerile tease. Perhaps he has acted wisely in avoiding graphic scenes, since the one time he allows lovemaking to advance beyond a kiss, he loses sight of good taste entirely. Alcon's buxom nurse bursts in on her patient while he is drying himself after a shower. She grabs him, engulfs him with heavy snorts and slavering kisses, and finally pulls away the bath towel. Before the camera fades out, we are treated to a good, long vis-a-vis with Alcon's rear...

...boat that would defend the America's Cup against Australia's Gretel would not be picked until after next month's final elimination trials. But in the first "observation" trials, two boats came out clear-cut favorites: Ted Hood's buxom $300,000 Nefertiti, the glamour boat of the warmup trials, with ten wins and only two defeats; and Weatherly, an also-ran in the 1958 cup trials, which finally found her speed with canny Skipper Bus Mosbacher (TIME. July 13) at the helm. Even Nefertiti's butter-fingered crew could not seem to slow...
