...only a water pistol, but it made its point. Raquel Welch doesn't mind stares, but she likes to choose the time and the place. The time is now, but the place is pictures-the kind that move and the kind that stand still and stare back. Only last week she was simultaneously on the covers of no fewer than eight European magazines. The German Quick has put her on its cover nine times since January, and the French Lui recently ran 14 pages of her photos, and hailed her "old-fashioned, hot, sensual return to the curve...
Business at First Sight. That is the only old-fashioned thing about Raquel, who pursues her career with the smooth precision of a modern computer. Chicago-born and California-raised, Raquel, now 24, was a Neiman-Marcus model and played a few movie walk-ons before she met her programmer, Press Agent Pat Curtis. It was business at first sight. Two weeks after their first encounter, they met to plan her career in minute detail.

Nonetheless Actress Raquel Welch, 23, a San Diego lass making the London scene, is upstaging every sexpot in Europe, being treated to covers on picture magazines and about as much Fleet Street play as Meg would get if she left Lord Snowdon. It's all quite unaccountable, although Raquel herself explains it this way: "I'm told...
Humming Along. Nine years ago, two teen-age girls - Kareen and Raquel Lou-dermilk - began to hold nondenominational prayer meetings in the church, and things looked up again for St. Paul's. The summer people turned to and put it in shape: a Denver store owner contributed paint and paid for painting, a doctor spent his vacation repairing the steps, a man from Columbus put in two weeks repairing the organ. Bats and rats were ousted; a new roof was put on; broken windows were replaced; the interior was replastered; and more than 50 people began showing...
