...even Nude Woman Having Her Hair Combed, circa 1886-88, the most refined and classical of these nudes, seems in the least Renoiresque, though nothing could be more appealing than that pink, slightly blockish body against the gold couch and the regulating white planes of peignoir and apron. It was a subject to which Degas brought special, almost fetishistic feeling, and a later version of the same theme, The Coiffure, 1896, shows what a vehicle for innovation it could be: the contours of the woman and her maid are now roughed out with an almost fauve abruptness, and they emerge...
Walking into a strip club, the adrenaline starts pumping through the body in anticipation of vicarious thrills. But then, once in, I looked up at the semi-nude dancer, and it was no big deal. She was just dancing--doing...
Quayle's initial attempts to build his stature were halting. His touted expertise on national security -- he told an Ohio audience that the U.S. is "naked, absolutely nude" before a Soviet nuclear attack -- drew groans of exasperation from Bush's senior aides and top White House staffers.

...Parkinson. He left the next day and was never accused of intimacy with her; no evidence has emerged to dispute his claim that he did nothing more exciting than play golf. But in the November issue of Playboy, due on newsstands Oct. 1, Parkinson (who is pictured posing nude) will make some new allegations about Quayle's activities that weekend. Her charges are unsubstantiated and, in fact, contradict some of her previous accounts. But they are likely to provoke another unwanted flurry of publicity...
