Shapes are dominated by the long-torso look in jackets with some flare in skirts. Tops are generally blousons (gently bloused bodices) and sometimes sleeveless. Waists are lower, skirts still just below the knee. For both daytime and evening, dresses will have matching jackets. In the evening particularly, women will look long, straight, skinny-and covered up, most notably by the long-sleeved, high-necked Ceil Chapman models. But Estévez' startling gowns are deeply plunged front and back. Sarmi features a daytime "obelisk" silhouette, a flare of pleats from a dropped waistline...
...ground to all the possible privations of space flight. He walked on endless treadmills, sat with his feet in ice water, endured two hours in a room heated to 130°F. and three hours in a soundproof, totally dark chamber. He took countless psychological tests. His torso was tattooed to mark the spots where electrodes would be attached for medical measurement...

At 19, Baker is still a growing boy of 6 ft. 3 in.. 195 lbs. Right now he has the most impressive record in college football. Going into last week's game with Stanford, Baker was running and passing...
...speed, stamina, strength and spirit. At 6 ft. 3 in., 196 Ibs., Johnson seems to have been molded especially for the decathlon. He has the slim, knobby-kneed legs of a sprinter. But above his trim, 35-in. waist, he is built like a weight man, with a torso that mushrooms to a 46-in. chest, and shoulders that are thick with slabs of muscle...
