...frogs in Aristophanes' comedy, sounds over Yale's Payne-Whitney Gym pool, it signifies that 21 young Yalies and New Haven townies skimpily clad in green fishnet tights are hitting the water. They fan out to the center of the pool and in a Busby Berkeley pinwheel formation circle the battered dinghy in which a wizened, whiskered Charon (Charles Levin) is poling across this Ivy League Styx. It is a moment of splashing good humor in this aquatic spoof of a spoof...
Repeatedly the Senators asked why Mitchell had not taken any action against Liddy for proposing crimes to the nation's top law officer.

His best look: a long dress in a pinwheel print, belted, bloused and all at once both elegant and sensuous. Dior's Marc Bohan is every bit as enraptured with the languorous look. Bohan softened his necklines with bows and scarf ties; and his hiplines had a series of stitched pleats that flattened first, then flared out. Deep colors glow like Tiffany stained glass; fabrics are light, jerseys, crepes and silk velvets. And again and again, capes...
