...Higher," Bette characteristically stripped the fushia, sequined mermain gown she had put on at intermission. She continued to perform--through her final rendition of "Friends," her incomparable "Chapel of Love" and a standing ovation--in her black lace strapless long-line bra and accompanying black satin skin-tight knee-length bloomers...
Jennings's bouting record of 17 wins in 22 foil contests included seven of eight in the important final round action, despite an injury to his knee in the tournament's sabre competition.
