Just as eye-filling are the new mesh suits. With a now-you-see-me-now-you-don't magic, the mesh meets the flesh in various gradations of bravado-across the midriff, along the sides, and over necklines that dip to the navel. In its most exotic form, the mesh suit makes its owner look like a mermaid who could not-or did not want to-wriggle out of someone's fishnet. Cole of California has already turned out 200,000 mesh suits and is still far short of meeting the demand. Not even the fact that...
...succeed in Mississippi politics since Reconstruction has meant being a segregationist, and James P. Coleman succeeded. "Those who propose to mix the races in our public schools might as well try to dip the Atlantic dry with a teaspoon," he said as Governor in 1956, two years after the Supreme Court school integration ruling. And, as he had promised he would, he signed laws aimed at thwarting that decision...
...seems clear that U.S. prosperity proved even greater than the tax men had anticipated.

For conventraised Samantha, it was this very embarrassment that gave veracity to her fumbling, desperate efforts to seduce her captor-which was precisely the effect Wyler wanted. "Looking back," Samantha admits, "I must say it made sense; it was valid...
Three weeks ago at the Cannes festival, The Collector made more than that. The jury decided to dip into one film for both Best Actor and Best Actress, awarded them to Terence Stamp and Samantha Eggar. On the private-showing circuit in Hollywood, Samantha is being touted as having a rare combination of acting talent and physical beauty, and Wyler's wiles may have set up two more Oscar nominations. If so, that's perfectly fine by Willie Wyler. "I'm particularly pleased for this award for the two kids," he said serenely. "I prefer that...
