- The Cover — Ice skating in the great outdoors is so exhilarating. The crisp air and the swift motion have a tonic effect, and so have the exhilarating girls. Witness those two gay ladies taking after the delectable item at the upper left. Unhappily, the pursuers are not only disappointed, but disappointing: they appear to be nice young men who would naturally love children, so why don’t they teach the little one to skate? Regarding that rather show-offy lady in red, she can really cut her figures, and can also really get her come-uppance, or come-downance. Art Alajalov, who depicts the Wollman Rink in New York’s Central Park (give or take a few details), never could make ice skates behave, but he was a whiz on roller skates. Was, that is; nowadays he prefers wheels motivated by gasoline.
