...something of a legend, even among nonCommunists, for his daring 1960 escape with nine other prisoners from Lisbon's infamous Peniche Prison, which sits on a rocky promontory overlooking the Atlantic. The inmates were aided by a sympathetic guard who marched them one by one underneath his rain cape to a 60-ft. wall overlooking the sea. Using a rope of knotted sheets, they climbed down and were able to swim to shore, where waiting cars picked them...
Bohan's collection was possibly the best he has assembled in his 30 years in couture. "Poetry," cooed Vogue Editor Grace Mirabella. "Out of this world," said Ohrbach's Sydney Gittler, who plans to copy Bohan's so-called ponchos, or cape coats, which were the talk of the show.

...seen or heard of the movie won't think of a great white shark when he puts his toe in the ocean." Vacationers are in fact flocking in ever greater numbers to the seashore. As for the jammed local moviehouses, they are treacherously playing on nerves. One Cape Cod theater runs a telephone tape that announces, "Jaws is playing. See it before you go swimming." Shark jokes are all black; in an interview with "Hollywood's No. 1 star" on the Tonight Show, Johnny Carson asked a foam rubber great white, "How do you keep your teeth clean...
