...Fiberglas-insulated walls are staggered, so that no single stud touches both sides of the wall, therefore cannot conduct noise. On the ceiling, sound is absorbed by 2 in. of glass wool surfaced with vinyl. To reduce the clatter of heels, vinyl is laid over an asbestos-and-foam cushion on the floor. Other floors have wall-to-wall carpeting with extra-thick underpadding
...Virginia, first hit it big in 1953 on Detroit's WXYZ-TV, where his TV antics cadged kids into eating lunch. Then he transplanted to Hollywood and bloomed on. He was such a smash that the stars lined up to get smacked by one of Soup's foam-filled pies. Things were going so well that ABC put him on the network. He bombed out. Then last fall a local New York channel tried...
...turned out, the Astros beat the Yankees 2-1, in the presence of 47,876 considerably distracted fans, including President Johnson. It was the biggest crowd ever to turn out for a baseball game in Houston. In the $1.50 bleacher seats (each with its own arm rest and foam rubber seat), they munched hot dogs and lolled about in shirtsleeved comfort while a $4.5 million, computer-operated air-conditioning system kept the temperature at a steady 74° and filtered smoke out of the air.

Scarcely 24 hours after the orders to move came from Washington, a Navy destroyer and four transports hove to in the foam-flecked bay half a mile off Nam O Beach north of Danang, renamed "Red Beach Two" by the marines.

For two months the marines had been floating in the South China Sea, just waiting. "When the temperature went up," said Brigadier General Frederick J. Karch...
...despair, women and foundation garments have been inseparable for years. Feast or famine, thick or thin (mostly thick) they have clung to each other, lending ironclad support here (with a corset), whaleboned comfort there (with a waist cincher), out-and-out camouflage (with a wire-braided bustle or a foam-rubber bust) as far as the eye could see. Trouble was, the eye could never see far enough to know for sure where the padding left off and the girl began. Now, at long last, it is all quite clear. Thanks to the Nude Look, there is barely an undergarment...
