...fiercely bearded hippie buttonholes a passerby: "If you ain't saved by the blood of Jesus, man, forget it. You're damned to the pits of hell." Along Broadway in San Francisco's honky-tonk North Beach, hirsute zealots plead with gawking conventioneers to bypass the topless-bottomless shows. Outside Atlanta, amid the acid rock, nude bathing and casual lovemaking of a rock festival, a young couple and their friends man two "Jesus tents" for the lost and lonely. In Boise, beaded and bell-bottomed converts wade into the river for a mass baptism; some onlookers...
Nearly 4,000 black-tied gentlemen and bejeweled matrons turned out for the two performances. Catcalls and whistles echoed throughout the house as the curtain rose on a chorus line of topless dancers and intensified at the entrance of Alawn Don Jay, the "Sophisticate Blond Beauty." Audiences paid $25,700 for the show. Highlight of the evening's entertainment: Cece Ingram, a top-heavy lass billed as Satan's Angel.

He made the suit mainly as a "statement" in support of the "liberated look" of the late 1960s-a look he further promoted with his No-Bra bra, clinging knit minidresses, "Swiss cheese" swimsuits and see-through blouses. All that pioneering so exhausted Rudi that he treated himself to a year's sabbatical in order to restore his flagging energies; he convalesced comfortably...
Although conceived by NBC, the show is definitely all Disney, even down to the cast. "We had a swish type or two audition-even a topless go-go dancer," says one of Parade's people. "But for the most part, those who auditioned were Disney-type kids: all-American kids." The average age of the girls is 19, the boys 21, and they run the gamut of honor-rollers, cheer leaders, glee-clubbers and yearbook editors. The cast has such a home-town flavor that Choreographer Miriam Nelson and others had to conduct travel clinics to help the kids...
