With another bathing-suit season at hand, local lawmakers are aiming their ordinances at males on the score of topless suits* rather than at underclad females.

There were whistles, cheers, salutes. Six hundred passengers lined the rails of the Leviathan. One Barren Collier, a Special Deputy Police** Commissioner, was present with a yacht to take Sir Thomas up the bay. The Police Band was present? to play Home Again and Hail to the Chief and The Gang's All Here...
