There are even a few "tape-recorder youth," so named because they secretly tape Western jazz and popular music unavailable in Bulgaria. They affect trim Ivy League suits, drink "worker's brandy" (cheap, sweet vermouth), read such Western authors as Hemingway and J. D. Salinger, and furtively swap anti-regime jokes-despite the fact that Bulgaria alone among the European satellites still jails such jokers...
Though she is a touch too pretty to look as if she knew what she was doing, Jenny Bell, 36, is no fashion fledgling. While still a college girl at Sweet Briar, she made the cover of Mademoiselle Magazine ("It was scrubbed looks and bangs they were after"). Two years later, she found that no one cared if she scrubbed or grew grimy, ("Sophisticated models were the ones who got jobs"), decided to try her hand at designing instead.

Last week, in one of the largest deals in the industry's 44-year history, Manhattan's Capital Cities Broadcasting Corp. paid $15 million...
...Baltimore, winning the American League pennant-or just beating those Double Damn Yankees-would be sweet revenge indeed. Baltimore and baseball once went together like Boston and beans: the original Orioles won three straight National League pennants in the 1890s. Then came disaster: Star Players John J. McGraw and Iron Man Joe McGinnity jumped their contracts, and in 1903 the franchise was sold to a group of New Yorkers for $18,000. Renamed the Highlanders, the migrating Birds sang no songs in New York either -until they began calling themselves the Yankees and hired a kid from the sandlots...
