...upcoming show in Las Vegas, Ann-Margret will ride onstage on a Harley, wearing a jumpsuit, accompanied by a chorus squad of motorcyclists. At the end of the scene she will unzip the sirensuit, revealing herself in a flesh-colored body stocking, before climbing into a high-necked, bead-studded sheath. Offstage, the pneumatic star claims to prefer cover-up clothes. Still, when she showed up in Manhattan last week at Warlock Rex Reed's party for Film Maker Eleanor Perry, Ann-Margret must have known she would be on-camera, so she wore a costume she is comfortable...

...Army skydivers flutter to a gooey landing in the infield. Then a preacher leads the drivers in prayer and the rhine-stoned Carolina Dogwood Festival Queen bestows a kiss on Driver Bobby Allison for winning the pole position. At 1:52 p.m. Petty, wearing a gold fireproof jumpsuit, wriggles through the glassless window in the driver's door, which, for safety reasons, is welded shut. At 2 p.m. the starter says, "Gentlemen, start your engines." The 30 drivers rev up their 500-h.p.-plus monsters, creating a thunder that pierces the cotton stuffed in drivers' ears. After...

...sounds like something thought up by Stanley Kubrick for the movie 2001. The silent central control room houses giant twin computers that send dozens of sleek, 80-m.p.h. silvery aluminum passenger trains slicking sibilantly into stations at intervals as close as 90 seconds. Each train has only one blue-jumpsuit-clad attendant, and he allows computers to run the controls except in the event of an emergency. Even tickets are sold (in amounts up to $20) by machine.

...hall -the noise of thousands of kids in vicarious heat. Where these two walls of energy meet, above the stage and its blindly waving fringe of teeny-bopper arms, they precipitate a form. It is Mick Jagger, Jumpin' Jack Flash in person, laced into a white rhinestone-studded jumpsuit and painted like a Babylonian hooker, back-lighted by amber spots and front-lighted by a Mylar mirror the size of a movie screen slung from the roof trusses, belting into the chorus...
