REVIEW
California
We 're overcome! Applause came from all parts of the nation
after the July cover, picturing pretty Yvette Longwood trudg-
ing into the s urf, reached ope rators. So enthusiastic were the
comments that we decided to s pring another picture of Yvette
Longwood on the August cover. This one gives you a little
better close-up. We have lots others of Yvette. Would you
like to see them on future covers?
