There was still much ado about the nothing worn (above the waist, anyhow) by frail Model Christina Paolozzi, 22, in a full-page Richard Avedon photograph published by Harper's Bazaar in the January issue. The clothes-horsing magazine identified Manhattan-born Christina as a "Contessa" (she insists she is not), proudly admired "the classic spirit, abhorring the demure and falsely modest." But the photo was agitating the female press corps to its foundations.

...Crivelli Pieta, and the trick was to tell what part was original and what part had been restored. Except for certain slick parts, most of the crackled surface seemed beyond reproach.

Each group covered a specific sector with a 15-mile diameter. It was no lark. In many cases, birders have to photograph rare specimens to get credit for them, and in some instances, extremely rare finds are shot down to prove the sighting. In this fashion, naturalists keep track of the ups and downs among various species in the bird population...
