Familiar Backsides. Though the sex would be considered tame enough by TV audiences in some European countries, it is far more vivid than anything seen on home screens in America. The blonde playgirl in Apt. Six is usually glimpsed half nude, sometimes with nipples showing beneath a see-through blouse.

The most frenetic activity takes place in the Livestock Pavilion, where coveralled owners lavish on their animals care that would do credit to Elizabeth Arden. In one stall a West Texas matron in toreador pants, see-through blouse and perhaps the last bouffant hairdo in Western civilization teased the tip of her Hereford's tail with a hot comb. Her loving efforts were of little avail, however; most of the significant Hereford trophies went to Winrock Farms, owned by a former Governor of Arkansas name of Winthrop...

...marrieds, two hippies and a brace of space-age jet-setters. By far the best is an earthy, bluesy number for Frank Ohman and German-born Karin von Aroldingen, a leggy, dramatically athletic beauty who is dressed (if that is the word) in a skimpy blue bikini and a see-through fringed-suede...
