STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

A Chinese city set the record for the most women to participate in a parade while wearing bikinis. Over the weekend, Ocean City, Maryland set out to break that record of 1,085. But Ocean City fell far short at just 325 people. Organizers blame the rainy weather for holding down turn out. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
