Divorced. Joseph S. Clark, 65, two-term Democratic Senator from Pennsylvania; by Noel Hall Clark, fiftyish; in an uncontested suit (she said he made her life "intolerable and burdensome"); after 32 years of marriage, one child; in Philadelphia...
...Suit. Like almost everything else aboard during the January holocaust, the Gemini space suits worn by the astronauts burned, as interior temperatures rose to 1,500° F. To withstand such heat, the nylon outer covering of the Apollo suit has been replaced by Beta cloth-an advanced form of glass fiber produced by Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corp. Backing up the new fabric are 14 layers of fire-resistant material. Even if they were caught in an on-board inferno, the Apollo astronauts would have several minutes of protection while wearing the new suit. Big gest problem posed...
This year Ohrbach's was especially enamored of Yves St. Laurent's No. 82, a black gabardine suit that shows the current new softer lines, with a short, gently flared skirt, and a jacket that features a clerical collar and a row of gold buttons.

He sold the property he had just won back for $54,000 in cash and 160 acres in the desert west of Phoenix...

But he soon learned that the suit would not hold up, because in order to sell the land, his lawyers had signed away his right to sue in connection with any of the previous land transactions. Now his situation was becoming desperate. Nearing 60, he was unable to find regular employment. Because he owned land (the desert which no one would buy), he was ineligible for welfare. He didn't qualify...
