...stares. To cope with the problem, some suits, called "stripper-dippers," come in three pieces-bra, pants and a removable midsection. Other cover-ups range from elongated sweaters that reach mid-calf (elsewhere called dresses) to Donald Brooks's coolie shirts, which just cover the suit at the hip line. Some of the most elegant are the ankle-length caftans, many of them without sleeves, designed by Italy's Emilio Pucci, who also turns out a full range of matching beach bags, hats, sunbathing mats and towels...
...after the shootings, the ambulances collected the stricken: the youngster Stroll; Paul Schrade, 43, the United Auto Workers' Pacific Coast regional director, whose profusely bleeding head rested on a white plastic Kennedy-campaign boater; Ira Goldstein, 19, a part-time employee of Continental News Service, hit in the left hip; William Weisel, 30, an American Broadcasting Co. associate director, wounded in the abdomen; Mrs. Elizabeth Evans, 43, who with her husband Arthur had been touring the several election-night headquarters and wound up with a slug in her forehead.

Last week the aftereffects of that same injury finally ended one of the most flamboyant careers in U.S. sport. Complaining that the arthritis in his hip "has progressed to the point where I simply cannot move about quickly enough on the sidelines," the most successful head coach in pro football retired and turned the job over...
...published in the enemy camp, as it were-Westwood Village, which is also the address of the University of California in Los Angeles. The magazine tries to fight for the right with the New Left's own tactics; despite its name, its appearance is hip, its art psychedelic. Only the message is different: against free love and drugs, for the draft and the war in Viet Nam. One article draws a parallel between the Nazi-Soviet Pact of 1939 and the current alliance of New Leftists and black militants; another charges that the rash of violence on U.S. campuses...
