...that moment, the viewer has had to squirm through two hours of banal commentary, inane commercials and an amateur talent show that only mothers could love. There is also something for daddy-the swimsuit finals, which unwittingly mock the characteristic American dilemma of having to select from many tempting choices that all seem exactly alike...

The most famous Miss America is undoubtedly New York City's Commissioner of Consumer Affairs, Bess Myerson Grant, who put a little too much truth in packaging at the 1945 pageant by tucking her 36-in. bust into a size 34 swimsuit.

It has been 22 years since the atoll's docile people were banished by the atom, and gentling nature and the passage of time have leached away Bikini's residual radiation. Lush vegetation once more covers the island. Through their long exile, most of it on inhospitable, isolated, mosquito-plagued Kili Island, the 300 or so Bikinians have huddled in a beachfront...
