There remains the possibility, however slight, that despite the column inches dedicated to Survivor winner RICHARD HATCH's nudist lipidian foibles, we don't know everything about him. For his part, Hatch is endeavoring to wipe out these pockets of ignorance. "I didn't have liposuction," says Rich about his new svelte-ish physique. "But if you saw that flopping around stuff on the last episode--I had that removed. It's called resection, and it's skin that could not retract from having lost more than 140 lbs. It had been stretched past the point of healthily ever being...
DIED. EDWARD CRAVEN WALKER, 82, unabashed nudist and inventor of the oozing 1960s groovy-soothing lava lamp; in Ringwood, England.

Nowadays, Le Cap d'Agde is the nudist community in Southern France, with something for everyone. There are families with young children, large numbers of bronzed retirees, lots of elderly folk (with no handicap access to the beaches, one naked octogenarian regularly makes the rounds with his walker) and representatives of every age group in between. Everyone has a different reason for coming here. "There is more finesse, a bit more je ne sais quoi, to French naturism," a well-tanned Austrian in his 60s tells me as he prepares for another day on the sandy "nudism obligatory" beach, where...
