...that the tomb of Peter had been discovered. Three years later, Professor Margherita Guarducci, who teaches Greek epigraphy and antiquities at the University of Rome, began studying the inscriptions on a red plaster wall inside which the skeletal remains had been found. "As soon as I saw the cloth remnants," says Dr. Guarducci, who is not a professional archaeologist, "I knew that these bones must have been important. The cloth was of rich purple material and was worked with pure gold. I went on studying the inscriptions on the wall and deciphered them. I found the name of Peter, sometimes...
Donald Brooks is another designer who admits that he has "stripped the bikini down to the bare essentials"-gaily colored scraps of cloth in flowered or geometric patterns. Bill Blass keeps on turning out bikinis because he finds that women, for variety's sake, like a whole wardrobe of them. But the models must be updated.

But in years of campaigning with Dick, she has developed an easy grace with the voters. Daughters Tricia, 22, and Julie, 19, have blossomed into political charmers, paragons of wholesome comeliness in a nonconformist...
...campaign was also plagued by internal dissent. Resurrection City, heavily black, sprouted some white ghettos, including one populated by Appalachian mountain folk and another by hippies who dubbed their enclave "Diggerville" and festooned their shelters with gaily colored cloth and psychedelic banners. There was an angry flare-up over the black monopoly on policymaking. "Black militants have taken over, and nobody else gets a chance to talk," protested Reies Lopez Tijerina, leader of a group of 200 Mexican-Americans quartered at the private Hawthorne School about a mile from the shantytown. He complained that brown, red and white Americans were...
