The Case for Expensive Beer, Warily Watching CBS, New Hope for .244 Hitters, and Other Matters. Only in America (con't)
By DANIEL SELIGMAN REPORTER ASSOCIATE Edward Prewitt

(FORTUNE Magazine) – A Topanga Canyon nudist camp, facing a sex discrimination lawsuit filed by a Pasadena man, has agreed to stop charging men higher prices than women. Attorneys in the case said the camp, Elysium Fields, will . . . begin charging men and women equal fees for membership . . . The agreement settles a lawsuit filed Sept. 3 in Los Angeles Superior Court by Alejandro Crespi, 56, a lawbook salesman who said he quit Elysium Fields because (its) pricing discriminated against men. Elysium charged men $175 and women $125 in annual membership fees . . . Elysium Fields' attorney, Stephen F. Rohde, said the policy of lower rates for women was established in 1967 . . . in response to ''decades of sexual discrimination against women.'' -- From a news report in the Los Angeles Times.
