In scores of Manhattan showrooms, they had gravely inspected parades of full-breasted models wearing bras to make the mostest of the leastest, rather than vice versa.

As wave after selling wave buffeted blue chips and glamour stocks indiscriminately, the Dow-Jones index of 30 key stocks tumbled almost 39 points...
...week that left even Wall Street professionals bemused and confused, the stock market bobbed down, up, down like a Yo-Yo-and to as little apparent purpose.
