This summer the Nude Wave finally washed onto U.S. beaches, and women from Los Angeles to Long Island have been wearing all manner of suits of which brevity is the chief feature. Explains one Westhampton, L.I. matron: "American fashion is now dominated by teenagers. They have the figures and the courage to wear these suits, and adults-happily or not-are following their lead." Philosophizes another bikini-ite: "We have been ex posed to these suits for so long, it is now acceptable to wear them. In fact, if you've got the figure, it is considered almost square...
...promoting cocktail-party talk, is the opportunity Berne provides for people to take a fresh look at themselves. Nearly anyone can recognize himself in Berne's games, from Harried (the uncomplaining, noble housewife who undertakes too much and then collapses) through Kick Me ("played by men whose social manner is equivalent to wearing a sign that reads 'Please Don't Kick Me' "> to Buzz Off, Buster (the woman who leads a man to water and then waxes wroth when he attempts to drink).

If an overhead flight was to be made, why would it be made at the absurdly low altitude of 2,000 ft.? And would the U.S. so readily hand over the film if some dark job of espionage had been involved...
...programs. Last week, after a tedious two-year study, the FCC agreed with the complaints. They "obviously cannot be dismissed on the ground that 'commercials aren't really loud, they just sound loud,'" declared the commission. The presentation of commercials "in a loud, rapid and strident manner" is "contrary to the public interest." In its soft-spoken way, the FCC made no specific regulations, simply directed that "appropriate measures" be taken to end the practice...
