• Skinny dipping on Danish beaches has been declared a legal right.
• Professor Linda Kay is recognized by a former student while she is completely nude in a locker room.

  My daughter, who just entered university and is the same age as many of my students, calls it "highly disturbing" that I disrobe at all in a public locker room.

• Stephen Gough, Great Britain's "Naked Rambler", has been cleared of a breach of the peace charge for leaving a Glasgow prison without wearing any clothes, due to lack of evidence.
• Actress Kate Hudson is willing to appear nude on screen as long as it's important to the story.

  “My mother and father never made a big deal about nudity in our house. “I often walk around naked or just wearing panties. Actors are all supposed to be emotionally naked anyway,” she said.
