...Senator William Fulbright, then chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, had said at lunch at the Soviet embassy or what Soviet contacts had told other members of Congress at cocktail parties. He insisted that the Soviets were building Viet Nam opposition in Congress and the press. He slapped his thigh with delight when he got a report from the FBI about a prominent Republican Senator who frequented a select Chicago bordello and had some kinky sexual preferences, all of which were reported in detail. The information came from a madam who was an FBI informer...
...gone topless since 1894, when she first appeared on the beverage label. Now, however, White Rock has decided that she looks too risque, and her breasts may be covered. "It's surprising in these permissive days," a spokesman conceded. But, he added, "she will show a bit more thigh." Topless or not, Psyche has aged well.

Kallinger's daughter Mary Jo, then 13, testified that he had tied her hands over her head and burned her thigh with a hot kitchen spatula, while holding a knife at her throat to keep her from screaming.

Here are the strong, silent heroes who conquered the land, together with their deferential but spunky helpmeets, whose chief tasks were to bear children and get the vittles on the table. It is all sentimentally endearing, and it marks one giant step backward for the American musical...
...Hartman simply inserts the bottom of his electric guitar into a pelvic pocket, much the way a mother kangaroo snuggles her baby into her pouch. From electrodes in the pocket, the signal is fed through wires sewed into the linings to a cigarette-pack-sized transmitter housed in a thigh pocket. Via an aerial laced down the right leg, the impulse is broadcast to the main amplifier backstage and then blasted into the auditorium over the usual loudspeakers. To modify tone or volume, Hartman has only to turn a button on his left sleeve...
