...asked me to do some test shots." The result is a striking 14-page spread of pictures by Photographer Avedon in the current Vogue, which exposes Penelope's charms in-among other outfits-a partially unbuttoned pants suit, a hip-revealing dress by Rudi Gernreich and thigh-high fun furs. But no matter what the rig, Penelope animates them all with her special gamine charm and kooky doll features...
Pumping on Signal. Surgeons injected a local anesthetic into the patient's thigh and cut into the femoral artery. They then threaded a flexible plastic tube up the artery and the aorta until a deflated balloon at its end was about level with the heart (see diagram). The outside end of the tube led to an electrically operated pump filled with nonflammable, nonexplosive helium. The patient was connected to an electrocardiograph, whose signals could control the pump...

It was even worse out front, where fashion editors, buyers and quick-sketch artists-most of whose skirts rode up to mid-thigh-wildly scribbled and checked programs in a furious effort to catch the new trends...

In a script full of raucous frontier humor, the most amusing scene slyly comments on the state of the western today. At the fadeout, Wayne has been pinked in the knee, Mitchum in the thigh. With crutches as swagger sticks, they limp triumphantly past the camera-two old pros demonstrating that they are better on one good leg apiece than most of the younger stars...
