...19th century was refused entry to the nearby gaming rooms of the Monte Carlo casino; through Elizabeth Foster, an elderly woman unaccountably stuck in Nice throughout World War II; to teenager Abby Green, who took a language course in the city in 1994 and found the topless bathing "liberating." One American who never visited Nice was Mark Twain. "Travel," he wrote in 1869, "is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness" - but then he never met the hordes following the lock-step of all-inclusive tours. Yet even in Twain's era many observers were aghast that tourism was making...

...Pitt are frequently spotted hanging out in L.A., easygoing and accessible, without an entourage or phalanx of bodyguards. They are often trailed by a photographer, but she doesn't gripe about the press. Not usually, anyway. Aniston recently settled--"amicably"--a lawsuit against two magazine publishers for running topless photos of her in 1999. "You pick your battles," she says.

...Russ roams into antiquity for some of his metaphors, characterizing Babette Bardot (featured player in Meyer's "Mondo Topless" and "Common Law Cabin") as "a blonde-tressed voluptua with dimensions not unlike Etruscan sculpture."

...Meyer made movies. For 20 more years he toiled on this autobiography. Together they represent the twin peaks of his career. And he would have you believe that his fetishizing of the "female form divine" is an act of veneration. Throughout "A clean BREAST!" are dozens of photos of topless gals, their heads encased in plain paper bags. The most brazen sexism, eh? No, insists the author.

Always trust a woman to recognize her own breasts. Penthouse did not, and may end up paying a price. In its June issue, the magazine published photographs offered by a paparazzo of a woman sunbathing topless. The editors say they studied the pictures in "painstaking detail" before concluding they were of tennis player ANNA KOURNIKOVA.
