Standing Chariot-Style. The attractions of snowmobiling are high mobility (up to 50 m.p.h. on the flat), low cost (from $695 to $1,975), and ease of operation. The vehicles start like an outboard motor, are tractioned by rear tanklike belt treads, and steered by handle bars attached to two front-running skis. On steep downhill runs, they give the driver all the thrills he can handle; yet, piloted sensibly, they are relatively safe. In a spill, the driver is usually thrown clear into soft snow, and the snowmobile stops as soon as his hands release the throttle...
...difference was that the U.S. designers had rediscovered the bosom. "The flat-chested look is out," proclaimed Jacques Tiffeau, who sent forth full-busted models in dresses with big square-cut armholes that gave a peekaboo side view of the breast. Chester Weinberg, Mollie Parnis and Pauline Trigère, among others, unmuffled their models with deeply slashed V necklines.

...powerful Baroque dramatization, the juxtaposition of rich golden browns with cool tones of blue, and the intricate articulation of the detail which characterize the mythological paintings of his early years. The rest of the Rembrandts are mediocre at best. The two portraits of Joannes Elison and Maria Bocknelle are flat and uninteresting. The Portrait of Young Titus has gained wider acclaim from its price than from its quality. This washed-out portrait--which fetched $2.25 million may even be misnamed. It is the only painting which portrays Rembrandt's son with grey-blue eyes, and the facial features...
Pushers & Smoke. The Tokaido, studded with quaint inns and hubristic history, can now be traversed in three hours flat by means of the Hikari, a sleek supertrain whose name, if not quite its speed (125 m.p.h.), means "light" in Japanese. The city dweller of the Tokaido is confronted with problems endemic to urban life everywhere. His highways thunder to the rush of 15 million speeding trucks, cars and motorcycles. Commuter trains on Japan's excellent railway system must hire "pushers" to jam the passengers into the steamy cars. A lack of sewerage results in the use of "vacuum trucks...
