"THINK PINK!" she proclaims, and the women of the U.S. obediently buy pink poodles and pink mink. Then the lady finds a Serious Theme: "Clothes for the Woman Who Is Not Interested in Clothes." But who will model them...
...froze, hand outstretched. Facing her: Perle's arch-rival in the hostessing game, elegantly gowned and bejeweled Gwen Cafritz. Perle wheeled, looked wildly around for an escape route just as an alert photographer recorded this historic moment of truth (see cut) for posterity.

Proud Lawrence ("Tuff") Fullmer taught his muscular son everything he had learned from a short and undistinguished career in the ring (two younger brothers are also learning). Then Tuff turned Gene over to Marv Jenson, a local mink rancher, who had developed the once-promising heavyweight Rex Layne. Young Gene was the kind of willing worker that Jenson had always wanted. Out of high school, he had a job as an apprentice welder, in the repair shop at Kennecott Copper's great open-pit mine, but he still had the energy to get up at five o'clock...
