BUSINESS, Page 48Business NotesSWIMWEARNo Itsy-Bitsy Offers, Please
By now bikini is a generic term, but the original article has
been custom-made in Paris ever since designer Louis Reard

company that now owns the swimwear line plans to sell off the
rights to it for a seductive sum. Anyone for a plunge?
