In his quest for a seat in the U.S. Senate, Rep. Mark Foley has rankled a group that is barely covered in most elections: nudists.

But ''naturists'' who say the camp exposes their children to a perfectly healthy and wholesome education...

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. -- A group of Marin County women say they will march naked through San Francisco on Jan. 18 to protest the possibility of war with Iraq. The march down Market Street will be part of a program calling for parallel peace demonstrations in San Francisco and Washington, D.C.

Last Sunday, 100 women stripped and made the word "peace" with their bodies on Drake's...
