...mistakes Country Music has made about its audience so far has been to print 5,000 posters of Hee Haw Star (and Country Music humor columnist) Archie Campbell. He is sprawled in the pose made famous by Burt Reynolds in Cosmopolitan and clad in red-and-white-striped long underwear. Of the 5,000 posters printed, Country Music has sold just 37. "We discovered," says McCabe, "that our readers wallpaper their walls. Unlike rock fans, they don't put up posters...
Evenings bring a slight cooling and a certain degree of formality. The Poles, who spend the day in swimming shorts or underwear, change into their baggy uniforms and hunt-and-peck on the typewriters, turning out reports to be packeted to Can Tho. The Hungarians, who sport smart blue athletic shorts and white V-necked T shirts by day, slip on long pants and also work on reports. The Indonesians, accustomed to the daytime heat, spend all their time in full uniform. And the Canadians, who have no uniform of the day, stroll about in shorts at night...
...immensely valuable in sustaining morale. Air Force Lieut.

Our self-consciousness about femalehood was imposed upon us just as much as it grew out of all female living, because we were such a minority. We dressed for class, for the invasion, because...
...states were affected. The University of Texas at Austin, which is endowed with hundreds of thousands of acres of oil-rich land, postponed registration for 38,000 students because natural-gas deliveries had been halted. Staffers at KLRN-TV, the university-operated station, reported to work in thermal underwear and huddled around a camping heater. "We submitted a plan for a nuclear power plant here, but it was rejected by the voters," said Austin City Manager Dan Davidson. "This is an unfortunate education for our citizens that we must have a new source of energy." In Indiana, Senator Birch Bayh...
