They had to listen carefully. Looking spry and fit in a dark grey business suit, the Caudillo told a nationwide radio and television audience that he wanted peace on earth, social progress, economic advancement and Gibraltar-where, he warned, Spain was "not disposed to tolerate passively" continued British rule. He also advised Spanish girls to stay in Spain instead of risking "exploitations, swindles and abuses in big foreign cities...
...Johnson spends a holiday surfing in California. Spacecraft Gemini 8 and Gemini 9 establish an historic orbital link-up. Astronaut Roger Overendhout, clad in red, white, and blue underwear, is able to crawl from one capsule to another. Playing a tube he had carefully smuggled aboard in his space suit, he performs a riotous impromptu strip-tease for the laughing crew of Gemini 8.

For the healthy inside look, both Cole and Stewart have contrived necklines that plunge full and wide. Rudi Gernreich, whose topless suit provided the industry with welcome publicity but negligible sales, has engineered the "bib" suit, which comes loosely up over the middle of the bosom, but leaves the outer reaches marginally exposed, offering a new perspective to the girl watcher who prefers to sneak a sidelong glance rather than risk a head...
