Most designers snugged in waistlines and billowed skirts, perhaps to allow freedom to Twist. Everybody had his say about hemlines: Laroche and Cardin lowered theirs; Dessès, Patou, Crahay. Goma and Bohan stayed within striking distance of the kneecap. Other touches: almost every designer stuck ruffles on his models, snapped wide belts around everything-even evening dresses (Balmain, who dresses Thailand's Queen Sirikit, belted a wedding gown). Apart from sex, the only other area of general agreement in Paris was color. Apricot was very big, followed by orange, yellow and the so-called sherbet colors...
...came to have me, she nearly died. She'd been so shaken up inside. It gets a girl in the tummy." To protect her own tummy, Jill wears a g-in.-wide "body belt," but she still takes a beating elsewhere. Last year in Scotland, she fractured a kneecap. In Wales, Jill suffered through a series of bizarre misfortunes. Stuck in a deep bog, she had to drag her 3OO-lb. cycle out of the mud.

"The First Lady of America is elegant," said he in the Roman magazine Oggi, "but she should wear longer skirts. The kneecap is always anti-esthetic even when-and this is not the case with Mrs. Kennedy-one has beautiful legs, such as those of Sophia Loren or Marlene Dietrich." Deplaning in New York later in the week, Sophia Loren displayed her own distinctly esthetic knees as she rushed to the First...
...side. That slowed the racer, but a senatorial foot was bent under a wheel, and over went the bug, Keef and all. Shaken by his joy ride, the Senator checked in later at Bethesda (Md.) Naval Hospital, where the medics plastered a cast around badly sprained ligaments, a dislocated kneecap. Obvious upshot: no racer for young David...
