...More Nudes. Surfboard riding did not really make a West Coast splash until the advent of a 1959 cinespectacle called Gidget. Teen-age Heroine Gidget (Sandra Dee) was the pelvic oracle of surfdom. After her came the surf bums, the peroxided boys and girls who at first gave surfing a bad name-and not only because of their outlandish hairdos. Throbbing to guitars at midnight twist parties, they were fond of nudity and occasional ransacking of beach homes. But slowly the genuine challenge of the sport attracted a better ilk, and bit by bit an entire subculture emerged...

In an age of vamps, she became the Compleat Vixen. But in this autobiography, Bette...
...left at full speed-into the wrong lane and collision course with a bakery truck. But despite Batchelor's invitation, the undertaker declined. The 74-year-old cartoonist survived scalp and face cuts and multiple bruises; his wife suffered a collapsed lung, fractures of the left wrist and pelvic bone...
