REPORTER Andrea Svedberg spent a long month last winter visiting Manhattan's high-fashion houses, selecting the minimal clothes to be shown in this week's color spread on the new nude look. But while finding the right garments turned out to be a time-consuming procedure, there was no difficulty in choosing the setting for the photographs. Because Greece and Crete, Sardinia, Rhodes and Rome are places where the nude look was familiar centuries ago, the editors decided that the only proper background would be the Mediterranean littoral...
...long ago, the woman with nothing to wear had a problem. Today, nothing is practically all she needs. With the new nude look in fashions, the flimsiest pretext of a dress will do-but only on a girl with a figure worth seeing through to and with nerve enough to let the world see through to it. If she has the right shape and attitude, she can get away with anything from a bra and gypsy waistcoat to a blouse woven wholly out of cobwebs.

I would expect, in all fairness, that discipline cases such as mine--having an unchaperoned meeting of the Harvard Art Association in Sever Hall with a nude model--would be removed from my files and expunged from my record. I trust that you will see to this in light of the leniency of the university in unlawful seizure and trespassing...
Beate's entire family is involved in the enterprise. Her sons Ulli, 20, Klaus, 25, and Dirk, 24, all appear as nude models in one of their mother's bestselling books, Sons of the Sun, a pinup collection of male nudes. Her second husband, Ernst Walter Rotermund, concentrates on "long-range planning." To assure quality, says Beate, "we never put out any product that we haven't tried first in the family...
