...KICKING. First on your Personalized Toning-Up Program is a spin in the Roman pool. As you bask in the hot, healing waters, a gentleman technician offers cups of dietetic lemonade. Your poolmate, a balding man in his 50s, introduces himself. La Costa tones up such famous figures as Rod Steiger, Ambassador John Lodge, NBC President Julian Goodman. Gore Vidal, Kirk Douglas, Senator Jacob Javits, Sandy Koufax, President Gustavo Diaz Ordaz of Mexico-and you end up in the stew with a paint salesman from Poughkeepsie. "They really pamper you," he says, as a gentleman technician dries his back...

...fact, that same chapter appeared last summer in True magazine, one of your basic rod-and-gun club publications, and on the cover there was a mud-stained Namath sitting in front of a locker filled with a llama rug, a bottle of champagne, and a naked girl...

Mark, who seems to have shot a cop at a student strike, has stolen a small private plane and winged off to the California desert. Daria is taking a leisurely drive to Phoenix to meet her boss (Rod Taylor), who also seems to be her lover.

"I always knew it would be like this," sighs a sated Mark as he and Daria...

In the opening match of the 1970 season at Madison Square Garden, Gonzalez took on Australia's Rod Laver, 31, the top-ranked pro on the tour for the past four years. The old outpatient not only survived; he outlasted Laver through five grueling sets and walked off with the $10,000 winner-take-all prize money.

...expelled by the National Office, with no stated reason that made any sense. Two months ago eight past members of the California Y. A. F. elite held a press conference, denouncing the organization and founding their own Student Libertarian Alliance.

A. F. Advisors). Since summer, about half of the California chapters...
