...machines. Only four factories in the country produce nonrun nylons, and the 83 stocking-repair shops in Moscow are so far behind that it may take a month to fix a pair of hose. Square-fingered Soviet gloves, complained Izvestia, "make even the most graceful hand look like a paw." Hair rinses, shampoos and large curlers are hard to find; one reporter in Moscow waited more than four hours for a hair dresser, still was twelfth in line when the shop was ready to close.

...three disabilities that pelvis-twirling Elvis Presley might most fear are a sore throat, a dislocated hip, or an injury to his guitar-strumming paw. During his recent Army draftee stint he was briefly silenced by tonsillitis. Last week, during a touch-football game in home-town Memphis, Elvis dived at the ball carrier, broke the little finger of his string-zinging hand. His hips, however, are still swinging...
