...organized by the American Association for Nude Recreation (A.A.N.R.). Gordon was one of two dozen young people, ages 11 to 25, who attended the camp, which ran from June 5 to June 13 in sweltering Lutz, Fla., outside Tampa, at a secluded place known as the Lake Como Family Nudist Resort...
...campers had, like Gordon, been raised in families that routinely visit--or reside at--places like Lake Como (there are 259 A.A.N.R. resorts and clubs). Gordon says he has been a nudist since he was 2, "and now we come out [to the local nudist resort] every Sunday after church."

It has made one flight so far, from Miami to the Mexican resort city of Cancun. For passengers venturing back into the air, there has never been a better...
...society is named for Marguerite de la Sablière, a 17th-century patron of La Fontaine, who turned her house into a meeting place for the literati from the court of Louis XIV. Sablière is also, coincidentally, the name of a nudist resort in France. Credit for the obscure name goes to Francophile Eugenia B. Schraa ’04, another founding member, who is also a Crimson editor...
