...rows, please. Raquel Welch, 38, is making a three-hour TV epic called The Legend of Walks Far Woman near Billings, Mont. Raquel plays Ms. Woman, a squaw of Sioux and Blackfoot pedigree whose tale is traced from the 1870s to World War II. She is supposed to race, ride and swim in the movie, but since Raquel can't do these things very well, half a dozen doubles will fill in for her. Here she is acting, with no double in sight...

They were crammed into gas chambers so tightly that babies were often thrust in over the heads of adults. The doors were then closed and the gas jets turned on. There were...
...well as Ethel's Christopher, Max, Douglas and Rory, Eunice's Mark and Anthony, and some of their friends, I set out in a camper for a fun-filled tour across my home state. We rode the roller coaster, the Dodgem cars and the wave swinger ride at the Riverside amusement park in Agawam. We camped out in sleeping bags. We canoed on Pontoosuc Lake, where Rory and I got doused good when our canoe overturned. We never had to send a single postcard because every place we went, we were trailed by reporters and television crews...
