Last Frontier. Cheap girlie magazines have always catered to prurient interests, but Evergreen is not of that ilk. It was started in 1957 as a paperbound book, publishing such unknown authors as Edward Albee, James Purdy, Samuel Beckett, Allen Ginsberg. In 1964, it was turned into a slick-paper magazine with striking art work and lots of color; its scatology is elegantly framed.

Terence James Cooke, 47, one of New York's twelve auxiliary bishops...

The Communist daily paper L'Humanité followed with another charge: that Killy last year agreed to use a brand of Italian ski poles exclusively in exchange for an unknown sum of money-and that Crespin later paid the manufacturer $6,000 to keep mum about it. Still other stories circulated that Killy makes up to $75,000 a year out of skiing. Although Killy hotly denied all accusations of professionalism, the International Ski Federation last week launched an investigation...
