Instant Improvement. In two Ann-Margret TV specials and a role in Stanley Kramer's R.P.M., her screen personality seemed quieter, sweeter, more womanly. She had lost the twippet look. Her breasts with suspicious suddenness had taken on melony dimensions. Had she seen the silicone man? Ann-Margret said no. "When I put on weight, I put it on there." Lucky for her. Melony dimensions were required for the role of Bobbie in Carnal Knowledge...
...Concorde was also on display at Le Bourget, after flying 3,220 miles from Dakar to Toulouse in just under 2½ hours, giving the experts a unique opportunity to compare the two transports.

Others who had studied year-old photographs of the TU-144 noted that the Russians had lengthened air inlets on the four giant engines and sharpened edges on the inlets, apparently in an attempt to improve fuel economy.

"It wasn't a book," Dylan replied,"It was just a nuisance. It didn't have any structure at all." The book got to the page-proof stage...
...their targets, this year's preparations have been relatively amicable. March routes were quickly granted, and the old tactic of drawing a wagon train of protective buses around the White House has been scrapped as poor public relations, and because the Government expects fewer protesters in this quieter time. The cooling of America has even extended to Spiro Agnew. In his capacity as Senate president, Agnew granted permission for the demonstrators to assemble at the Capitol grounds, the first time a large group of protesters has been officially allowed to gather on the lawn of Capitol Hill.
