Returning to Newport last week, the Kennedys went all out in their vacationing. There were daily luncheon cruises aboard the presidential yacht Honey Fitz. The Honey Fitz anchored in quiet coves while a Secret Service powerboat hove alongside to speed Jackie through aquatic variations on a single water ski. Once ex-Navy Lieutenant John Kennedy spied the Navy frigate, Willis A. Lee, steaming past, signaled it to stop so the Honey Fitz could come up for a close presidential look...
...Paul's Church was built in Aspen, 60 miles across the mountains, when Aspen was a booming mine town instead of the ski-and-culture resort it is today. In 1908, after the boom's collapse had emptied it, the church was moved to Marble, which was having a boom of its own. St. Paul's belonged to the Episcopalians, but after Marble's once famous quarries*closed down, in 1941, the Episcopal Church stopped using it, and other denominations - Roman Catholics, Methodists, Presbyterians, Congregationalists, United Brethren, Dutch Reformed, Mor mons - worshiped there from time...
...never quit. Bunk. I'm getting out. I'm tired of supporting lawyers and tax collectors." With that, Charles Rolley, 58, stepped down last week as president of Reno's Rolley Co., the nation's biggest maker of suntan lotion (its dollar-green Sea and Ski grosses some $12 million a year).

Now rich and seeking relaxation, Rolley has turned over the presidency to his assistant, Bill Randall...
Italian sportswear, always ingenious, this year includes trimmings ranging from boa-like looped-wool fringe on suits (by Pierluigi Trico) and enormous pompons on after-ski capes (by Lily Liuba) to colored felt "scoubidou"-like tassels* on ski sweaters (by Lida di Trepuzzi). Centinaro, who calls her line "Penguin" (the pouch-backed shape), shows shiny black spaghetti-fringe collars and olive-green fur linings. Albertina's boutique features knit suits and coats made without cutting or seaming and guaranteed to be sagproof, and Roland-who must have seen The Wild One-spotlights a skintight, all-black leather ensemble...
Passing for Brocade. Undisputed master of the smashable dress is Italian Designer Emilio Pucci, who pioneered the idea as long ago as 1937, when he used stretch fabric in designing the uniforms for his fellow ski-team members at Oregon's Reed College. Established since then as one of the world's best designers of sports clothes, Pucci has a sense of style and color that makes his travel wear resplendent as well as resilient. Pucci's stretch silk now passes for brocade, is used in ball gowns and bikinis. His six-ounce, pure-silk stretchable separates...
