[Ads-l] Further Antedating of "Bikini"

[Mark Mandel]

They really needed a copyeditor. Besides "desigend", I count three typos or
misspellings in the second paragraph in the right-hand column:
>>>>>
Heim has given up the bare middle
for swimming in favor of a *lastex*
sheath that's guaranteed to withstand
a fast *jacknife*. One white one is cut
short at the back and has a fancy bust
*decoratoin* of loosely crocheted white
braid (no lining there).
