...recently as 20 years ago for most people, the body was hardly more than an interesting mass somewhere down there below the head. It could be barricaded in gray flannel and wantonly pleased in steak houses and French restaurants. If the body belonged to Clint Eastwood or Sophia Loren, it was interesting. Otherwise, except in bed, it was ignored by the public in favor of more important pursuits like winning the space race or building the New Society. Of course, Muscle Man Charles Atlas beckoned to boys from ads in comic books (Don't let bullies kick sand...
...hundred years ago, Carlo Loren-zini found himself light on cash and heavy on gambling debts. Driven to action, the 54-year-old civil servant-turned-writer concocted a tale about a wooden marionette and sold the first chapter to a children's newspaper, reportedly describing the story as "a little nonsense."

Suspended majestically over the central space is a 63-ft. skeleton of a finback whale donated by the New York State Museum in Albany, where it had been on display from the 1890s to 1978. The dolphin pool, or "tray," is visible from almost every vantage point in the building, its rippling surface broken by the frothy play...
...face? Aaah. The figure? Oooh. She's even winning raves for the fragrance. Sophia Loren, 46, who teamed up with the Coty cosmetics company last fall and launched a new line of perfumes, saw her scent named Sophia take top honors at last week's Fragrance Foundation Recognition Awards. La Loren, whose own ample lines were clearly the feature attraction, offered the ladies some advice. "You should put the perfume on the hot spots," said she. "I can tell you a few of those.
