DIED. ED LANGE, 75, photographer-nudist; in Los Angeles. Lange regularly contributed to the pages of Vogue and Life, but his true passion was the "clothing-optional" movement. He began publishing pronudist screeds in 1961 and in 1967 opened the Elysium Institute in L.A.'s laid-back Topanga Canyon.

The embarrassed automaker solved the problem with paper- shuffling panache, persuading the government to add 308 lbs. to the car's official weight...
...never provided and taking it upon himself to keep up at least the appearance of a family. The Learys' mother, Alice, is a stranger to her children as well. Macon recalls with bitter amusement how once during one of her inspired whims, she subjected them all to an experimental nudist elementary school. Resembling none of her children in temperament, she disappears one day on the back of her hippie-boyfriend's motorcycle...
