...says zinc oxide has to be ugly? This summer the goop that surfers and sailors put on their faces to prevent sunburn can be stylish as well as protective. Thanks to new products called Zinka and Le Zink, zinc-oxide cream is no longer available only in drab white. It now comes in hot pink, deep purple and many other shades, enabling sun worshipers to color-coordinate their noses with their beach balls and bikinis...
...make the product. The time, it turned out, was well spent. Since their Zinka appeared in February, more than 90,000 .75-oz. tubes have been sold, at $4.50 each, in the U.S., Canada, Japan and Europe.

Brown never really threatended after that, although it appeared that the Bruins had at least a chance when they took over with just under two minutes remaining. The departing Brown fans knew better, however. Zink fumbled on his own four yard line, and after Harvard had blown its chance to ice the game with a touchdown, he fired an interception to finish off the Bruins for good...
