...jockstrap was a parting gift when Marion Howington retired last year from the once all-male post of senior vice president at J. Walter Thompson. It was a teasing tribute to a woman who was well known for beating the pants off men at their own game. For Howington, a striking 60, who began climbing the ad agency's ladder in Chicago in 1967, the key to success was to "be aggressive" and "think like a man." In 22 years, she says, she never turned to other women for professional support or advice. "I didn't think they had anything...
...Maxi squirmed in her Calvin Klein jockstrap. They'd added a new dimension to her sex life. Was she a pervert?" The question could only be put by Judith Krantz, back again with her patented blend of eavesdropping and name dropping.

When I returned home I found Karl waiting for me to take him to the Palisades shopping section so he could buy a jockstrap for gym and sign up for drum lessons. After that, it was back to Santa Monica to pick up Noah. Being a Broadway playwright is not all it's cracked...
...jumping, of course, is not your average put-on-a-jockstrap (sorry, that's sexist)-and-let's-get-at-it sport. It's one that requires jumps from upwards of 45 meters, one that most people consider as sane as having a meeting during The Wizard of Oz. (Are you a good witch or a bad witch? I'm a good witch...
