MEN IN BIKINI. The editor of an England newspaper is encouraged by its owner to publish photos of women wearing bikini. But the owner warns the editor of his paper of dismissal the moment photo or photos of men in bikini are published.

HIS ADVOCACY. The owner of the newspaper (name not mentioned in the wire service report) is known for his advocacy, which is the promotion of female beauty. He was quoted as saying: “Pictures of men in skimpy bikini is a disgrace to manhood.”
