...pound class, Lindborg, in a red-white-and-blue capped outfit, and Coble, in black tights and T-shirt drew roars of laughter and cries of "fix" from the crowd. Complete with gasps, groans, and thuds and the acrobatics of pro wrestling, the match ended in a 16-14 overtime victory for Coble...

But classical-LP profits are so low these days, and piracy by fly-by-night firms so prevalent within the industry (an estimated $100 million in tape sales for 1969 alone), that even a benevolent buccaneer outfit like the Arturo Toscanini Society has to be looked at twice before it can be tolerated...

Courrèges lowered his sights with a floor-length black vinyl apron atop flaming red briefs. (It is not the most practical outfit, but that did not seem to matter when Raquel Welch modeled it.) Mostly, Courrèges fell back on the old jumpsuits, made of vinyl and stickier than ever, with cutouts cut out wherever the scissors led him-and in one bikini he reached the bottom...
