"Better take off your jacket;" he grinned, "it's pretty hot where we're going." We were taken into a very large room with grotesque orange lighting that made us look like a jack o'lantern. We noticed several conveyor belts passing into and out of the room through openings in the walls. Mr. Whiteside pointed...

An occasional girl will turn up in a plain old vanilla terry-cloth jacket or playsuit, but most of her fellow travelers will sport the same fabric colored purple, cerise or tangerine. The beach-bound set will wander the islands in shirts that follow the Pucci dictum (find two colors that cannot go along quietly, put them together, and toss in five...
