...Thames-side studio to construct a likeness on a wire frame with papier-mâché made of old newspapers soaked in paste. He followed the same process for all four. The figures are life-sized head-and-torso, with paper-and-glue eyeballs inserted from the rear of the framework, hair made of scissor-fringed strips of the London Daily Mail, and a final facial of thin paste and watercolor. Each unclad figure took two days to build...
...lead their private lives within a maze of high hedges and walls, security guards and secret telephone numbers. Even John Lennon's art-nouveau Rolls-Royce, painted with a rainbow of swirling floral patterns on a bright yellow background, has smoked one-way glass in the side and rear windows to keep the curious from peeking in. The boys make occasional outings to such London nightspots as The Bag of Nails and The Speakeasy, but must plan them with a military eye for the element of surprise and a ready path of retreat in case they are mobbed.

And the new Plymouth station wagon has a "squeegee washer/wiper," which cleans the rear window when...
...contrast, the dispatcher continues his express schedule of seductions, this time with the railroad telegraphist. During one encounter he playfully imprints her rear with a German occupation stamp-an indelible gesture that scandalizes her mother, who promptly trots daughter all over town, showing the handiwork to anyone who will look. Eventually, the crestfallen dispatcher is brought before a rubber-stamp congress of officialdom to account for his shocking behavior. Brandishing photographic evidence of the misdeed, a Nazi bureaucrat asks: "Miss Svata, is this your behind?", and prates about the "defamation of the German state language...
