Faster than a speeding bullet? Not likely, when Superman's bright blue leotard bulged from a paunch that was bound to blunt the man of steel's airstream in flight. Actually Texas Senator John Tower, 53, never did get airborne, but otherwise the conservative Republican performed nobly in a Superman spoof mounted in Dallas by a drinking club of politicians and newsmen. "I was born to play Superman," acknowledged Tower, flipping his cape for dramatic emphasis...
...pictures, pictures, most of them in color: of family reunions, the rugged beauty of Antarctica, Frisbee-fetching dogs, the filming of The Wiz, Jackie Onassis in the Manhattan publishing-house office she once occupied, the Shah of Iran in his fortified Caspian Sea retreat, Brooke Shields in a skimpy leotard, Henry Fonda in a Boy Scout uniform, Pope John Paul I in the Vatican, and hot-air balloons over Iowa.

I was desperately holding on to the barre, and the foot I was standing on went right out from under me. I was so tight, so really unsuited for dancing." Admitted to the school despite her pratfall, she renounced skates...
...roommate spent Thanksgiving in a leotard. The problem wasn't that she hadn't done her laundry in weeks (bringing it as a present to her mother at home) and the leotard was all she had left to wear. And it wasn't that she had packed so many books in her suitcase that there was no room left to pack any clothes, nor because the people she spent the holiday with were also in leotards, or some variation thereof, and she wanted to stay in style...
