...where secretaries work in glass-enclosed offices. Overcome by a sudden sense of modesty, one secretary, perched at a graceful but unprotective typewriter pedestal, recently sewed a minicurtain and draped it in front of her.

Also up in the air about taxes last week were Britain's legions of mini-skirted mods. British sales taxes include a 121% levy on purchases of adult clothing, but the regulations exempt children's wear. And the thigh-high miniskirts fall short of the maxi 24-in. waist-to-hem length that is bureaucratically considered the beginning of adult size. So up to now the mods have had to pay no taxes when they bought skirts. Aware that it is thus losing pounds and pounds of tax money, the government last week was searching...

Placards identified them as "Sisters of Watts" and "Concerned Citizens from Slippery Rock"; costumes identified them as Indians and Mexican-Americans, hippies and middle-class citizens of all shades. Young people waded thigh-deep in the Mall's giant reflecting pool, and families sprawled on the grass for picnics of fried chicken, chitlins and all manner of exotic salads. Even the numbing, five-hour drone of songs (four), speeches (19), and prayers (five) recalled another occasion...

...Carol cannot yet afford to buy her own jet, like Arnie Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, her golf winnings do allow her to indulge her penchant for thigh-high, pastel-colored skirts ("I wear miniskirts and maxi-legs").

Probably the longest hitter on the ladies' tour, Carol consistently belts her drives 250 yds. or more, and there is little wrong with the rest of her game. Last month, in Atlanta's Lady Carling Open, she shot...
