...Feder, just waited happily, drinking champagne or beer and eating Alice Brock's shrimp curry, turkey and roast beef, the same kind she used to serve in her restaurant in nearby Stockbridge. Arlo's hippie friends wandered to and fro, the girls in their gowns and see-through blouses, the boys in beads and boots. "I feel like a flower child," said Arlo's mother. "You look like a flower child," replied Arlo...
...supported a film division that never made a movie. Even the Beatles' enormous earning capacities could no longer comfortably carry the load. Last year they closed Apple's mod boutique after opening the doors for a two-day giveaway of more than $100,000 worth of bellbottoms, see-through blouses and other clothes. Then they shut down Apple's film operation. The firm grossed little more than $500,000 in its first fiscal year ending last month. "We tried to be the Ford Foundation," said John Lennon.

In Washington, D.C., a lady reporter turned heads at the White House correspondents' dinner with a bare-midriff, see-through pajama set. Being diplomatic (or missing the point), George Romney asked...
Radar Screen. For wearers and spectators alike, the nude look presents certain problems. "If you run while wearing see-throughs," says Penelope Tree, "you have to be careful. You could overflow like warm Camembert cheese." There are the oglers, against whom Mrs. Scull protects herself by taking off her glasses: "That way, being nearsighted, I can't see people's reactions." And there are those for whom ogling is not enough. Photographer Susan Greenburg-Wood wore her first see-through to a Lincoln Center benefit in Manhattan; all was well until intermission, when suddenly, she recalls, "one woman...
