Today Bernardin scouts all Europe for talent, preferring Poles above all others, and he rechristens each one in his own high style. His present girls include Neferzouzou, Bertha von Paraboum, Bettina Uranium, Nadia Safari, Victoria Nankin, Natasha von Turmanov, Coral Lazuli and Sofia Palladium. Among the alumnae are Lili Lapudeur, Rapha Temporel and Bernardin's alltime favorite, a Polish-German named Dodo d'Hambourg...
...Bernardin has choreographed their acts, there is not much actual stripping at Le Crazy (as Parisians call it), since most of the girls appear already bare. Nadia Safari, for example, wears a widely spaced net sarong and lies in a hammock under streaked gold and black lighting that is supposed to suggest the primordial jungle. Crazy Horse girls are, in the main, above bumping and grinding. Lighting is everything, and Bernardin refers to his dozens of tiny spotlights collectively as "my brush...
...Royal Weekend." All details of the satellite safari are, of course, handled by state-run tourist agencies. The payoff comes from "shooting fees"-each type of game bird or animal is assigned a price tag, which varies according to size, age and trophy value.

...impulse buyers, who now owe a fancy $656 million. The cards can now be used like cash at most airports, hotels, restaurants and shops, and credit-card companies are scrambling to arrange more uses. The 1,250,000 holders of Diners' Club cards can charge an African safari, and credit cards are now used to get haircuts, buy theater tickets and rent mink coats. The Carte Blanche card can be flashed as an instant credit reference at 1,300 U.S. hospitals: just wave your card at the ambulance attendant...
Only One New York is a safari through the urban jungle. It was written and faultlessly photographed by Pierre-Dominique Gaisseau, the French explorer who led a 1959 expedition to the head-hunting wilderness of Dutch New Guinea and returned with the remarkable documentary, The Sky Above-The Mud Below. His new film attempts to explore New York City in much the same way. "Never has there been a city in the world like this," glows Gaisseau, as his camera ogles the sheer canyons of lower Manhattan. "It occurs to me that people who expect a bomb to fall...
