Psyche, the demure White Rock girl, has 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. A pudgy 140 Ibs. 70 years ago, she is now four inches taller and weighs a svelte...
Blessed with a rightist government and a conservative Roman Catholic hierarchy, Portugal before the April revolution was one of the least libidinous countries in Europe. Striptease shows, topless dancers, dirty books and X-rated movies were, legally, at least, not allowed into the country.

Julia Child, television's "French Chef has a no-nonsense attitude about her operation, which she revealed publicly for the first time last week. Says she: "I would certainly not pussyfoot around about having a radical because it's not worth it." Both Shirley Temple Black and Marvella Bayh, wife of Indiana...
...String? It started out on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro (see color pages opposite). Brazil's puritanical military regime had prosecuted a girl from Ipanema who went topless, and then permanently prohibited mammary nudity. Undaunted, the girls of Rio invented the String-known in Brazil as the Tonga-which is derived from an ancient Indian loincloth and consists of two minuscule triangles of cloth joined by a cord over either hip. The Tanga is a huge hit with Rio girl watchers because it bares a large part of the derriere-Brazilian males tend to be nádega...
