...wives have gratefully followed Mrs. Nixon's return to the midi as a way of dealing with the ravages of time. Film stars present a mixed pattern; those whose bodies are their fortune are not about to conceal firm thighs, golden with sun. Those who fancy themselves trendsetters (Raquel Welch is one) have been wearing midis since last spring. And rebels like Jane Fonda, who have been wearing long skirts for more than a year, will probably be perversely prompted to go back to minis, or at least pants...
...exclusive property of the kids. In the swank summer resorts of East Hampton, Southampton and Stonington, Captain America shirts are showing up. At the America's Cup races in Newport, Mrs. David Rockefeller Jr. wore a gold Superman tank top; Brooke Hayward, Jill St. John and Raquel Welch (with an explosive "POW" on her version) are into the undershirt scene...
...Dress-Up Day at California's Whittier High School, and the young senior who was masquerading as a panhandler cheerfully posed for the photographer along with his favorite girl, Ola-Florence Welch. Quite thick they were, too: the youthful romance lasted through four years at Whittier College, where the two were classmates, and even beyond. Then somehow the friendly couple drifted apart, and Dick Nixon found and married someone else.

With Myron tagging along as her altered ego, she then lights out for Hollywood to claim half of an acting school owned by Myron's uncle, Buck Loner (John Huston). Once she implants herself as a teacher there, she decides to initiate her program of conquest...
Building a better 12-meter racing yacht for the America's Cup is a bit like trying to reshape Raquel Welch. A naval architect can trim her here, pad her there, but what counts in the end is how well all the parts move together. Last week, after years of designing and testing, the three U.S. contenders for the 1970 America's Cup showed their shapes in public in a five-day series of trial races. Snub-nosed and broad-beamed, none would win a yachting beauty contest. Yet once they were under sail, all their parts seemed...
