Eventually, Krayzelburg found his way to Mark Schubert, the masterly and demanding swim coach at the University of Southern California. It took Schubert less than a week to give Krayzelburg his verdict: "You can be the best in the world." Last year Krayzelburg, now a muscular 6 ft. 2 in. and 190 lbs., broke the world records in the 100-m and 200-m backstroke...

Nearly upstaging the parade of reed-thin runway models at New York City's fashion week were 29 fully curved Playboy Bunnies recruited by designer BETSEY JOHNSON to flaunt her spring line of bikinis and bustiers. The whimsical designer matched the models' outfits to the months they so proudly represented in the magazine, dressing Miss June as a bride in a white swimsuit and cutaway train and giving Miss April a transparent mini-raincoat. The Bunnies were instructed to be themselves on the catwalk, leading some to pinch each other, while others flashed the audience. Ava Fabian, a former Miss...
