...Courrèges' main excitement was a white, rib-knit jump suit, with a tunic for daytime wear and a sequined pants outfit with see-through top for after dark. Not to be outdone, Yves St. Laurent turned out an even more daring evening gown, then produced for everyday a series of wide-cut pants suits just possibly ugly enough to be chic. At least Lauren Bacall, on hand for a CBS-TV fashion special, thought they were. "I'm going all over New York in them," she promised. "And I dare any maitre d' to throw...
...like Hitchcock to bare to an audience the senses and emotions of a character through cutting, just as romantic abstraction allow a Sternberg to light experimentally with a daring inconceivable in plainer films.

...latest confection created for the subteen market, which accounts for about one out of every four single records sold.

Ten-year-olds learn from their chemistry textbooks how to mix and use explosives, and in physics they are taught how to build a bunker so as to make it safe against various kinds of allied shelling and bombing. If they...
...Sock it to me," one of Aretha's variations on "whip it," is another in the long list of sexual terms from blues or jazz that have passed into respectable everyday language. Having come to prominence through such recordings as Aretha's and Mitch Ryder's, "Sock it to me" is now used in a neutral sense as a catch-phrase on TV's Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In and is a common sight on bumper stickers and even political placards. Jazz (originally a copulative verb) and rock 'n' roll (from a blues lyric, "My baby rocks me with...
