...uses to snap victims' spinal cords. Name: Jaws. Orthodontist's nightmare. Running gag is that each time he is dispatched-trapped in building cave-in, flung from speeding train, tossed into shark tank, even torpedoed-Jaws (Richard Kiel) implacably reappears. In his silly, mechanical, likable way, a perfect symbol for Bond films. They're attacked, dismissed, put out of mind, but keep coming back and back and back...

They are also practical. Halston says of his hot-pink strapless model on the next page: "It gives a perfect tan sans strap marks." Coty Award Winner Monika Tilley, a pioneer of the one-piece suit, has focused on thighs, figuring that bosoms have had their day in the sun, and it is high time owners and watchers of GG legs get a chance. Tilley's jade mini-maillot...
