...word "activist," applied to a judge, usually refers to his judicial philosophy. It suggests a man who is always ready to extend the reach of the judiciary. In the case of Elbert Parr Tuttle, the description applies dramatically. For six years, Tuttle was chief judge of the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which deals with such "Heart of Dixie" states as Mississippi and Alabama; under him that court has been a vital prod to civil rights...
...Designer Brigance. Even on the beach, girls are likely to feel the need of protection from sunburn, windburn, sandstorms and stares. To cope with the problem, some suits, called "stripper-dippers," come in three pieces-bra, pants and a removable midsection. Other cover-ups range from elongated sweaters that reach mid-calf (elsewhere called dresses) to Donald Brooks's coolie shirts, which just cover the suit at the hip line.

He and Petulia go to a super de luxe motel instead, allowing Lester to display the automated checkin, the key that lights up when you reach your door, and the vibrating double bed. When a pal wants to have a serious talk with Scott about his marital problems, they go to lunch at a topless restaurant so that the camera can do some plain and fancy dollying. Lester also swings a skillful and satirical lens around deserted...
