HUBERT HUMPHREY. He is a little slimmer than before, a bit more modishly dressed, and he is trying to shorten his speeches. But basically he is campaigning as he always has-ebulliently, unbowed, as if the heartaches and setbacks of recent years had never occurred. He is reminding the party how much it owes to him -and many of the voters, especially older people, union members and blacks, gladly acknowledge the debt. For Humphrey, it is do or die, a last hurrah at 60 or a gratifying comeback. His organizations in most of the primary states are not very extensive...
...mammary obsession that Playboy profitably discerns in Americans. Says Publisher Tattilo: "The U.S. is a matriarchy.

At Eberlin's, a financial-district favorite, volume is off 10% to 15%. For major hotels, the banquet and convention business offers slimmer pickings because companies are sending fewer people on combined business-pleasure jaunts...
...plastic-surgery industry, and ugly wives by the hundreds are being remolded into well-proportioned visions of beauty. The deft use of vanity surgery, as the Brazilians call it, has provided women who flock in from all over the world with new faces, larger (or smaller) bosoms, slimmer hips and even bottoms sculpted into svelte contours more suitable for slacks...
