...topless swimsuits have become ancient history, and the thong never really caught on. So Designer Rudi Gernreich has come up with a new entry in the field of frivolous fashion: boxer shorts for women. Says he: "You can jog in them, sleep in them, wear them around the house, around the pool or over a bare swimsuit" These modified B.V.D.s will appear in stores throughout the U.S. by March and will sell for $5 to $7. The men's garters, he quickly adds, are not included...

Trouble was, Becky's father, Charles Marshall, was the minister of the Hobbs Street church. Aghast, the elders of the church fired Marshall. When...
...nudged off the U.S. team by George Woods, Al Feuerbach and Brian Oldfield. Feuerbach, who has hair like Samson's and a mustache like Fu Manchu's, releases the shot with a banzai-type yell. Oldfield competed at the U.S. trials in a brief, floral-patterned swimsuit and a low-cut fishnet jersey. If these Americans fail to stir the Munich stadium crowds, West German Uwe Beyer almost certainly will. After winning the bronze medal in the hammer throw at Tokyo in 1964, Beyer gave up sport to enter his Nordic features and Mr. Atlas physique in show...
