...nervous stomach ("I worry a lot"), and no less an authority than Jacques Plante -six-time winner of the Vezina Trophy as the N.H.L.'s top goalie-flatly predicted that Roger would never make it in the big time. Last week Plante was down in the minors, tending net for Baltimore in the American Hockey League. Crozier, with six shutouts and an average of only 2.4 goals allowed per game, was leading the race for the Vezina Trophy...
Brassières like Maidenform's nylon net ($4) and Vanity Fair's stretch band ($4) are every bit as rudimentary as Rudi's: they may get by splayed out on a department-store counter, but displayed-even on 100% synthetic mannequins-in show windows, they are likely to stop traffic, start riots, and end up as exhibits in night court. Even those with a bit more substance to them, like Bien Jolie's flowered-net version ($11) and Warner's "The Body" ($12.50), are sheer enough to read through, small print included...

She had already begun taking parts in small films, shooting all day, then racing to the theater for the show at night. The word was that Moreau was completely unphotogenic-the nose and ears too small, the mouth too thick, the body nothing special...
...slowly tightening credit. Budget Director Gordon disclosed last week that, in 1965, the combination of higher federal spending and further tax cuts will pump an additional $8 billion into the economy, while increased prosperity will boost the federal tax intake by $6 billion. That will make for a net $2 billion federal stimulus to the economy, most of which will take effect in the year's second half...
