...Great nations have fallen and empires decayed because corruption became socially acceptable." So warned London's Daily Mail when the government-sponsored Wolfenden report on sex recommended going harder on prostitutes but making homosexual practice involving consenting adult males no longer a crime. In the 14 months since then, with the help of leaders in the opposition Labor Party who feel the same way, Home Secretary R. A. Butler has managed to avoid a parliamentary debate on the subject.

This line breeding gave them a start toward genetic purity-a most desirable quality in research animals...
...like plains eight miles west of downtown San Antonio, resounded to the barks and squeals of the baboon colonies. They were housed in the end sections of a Quonset-shaped structure of diamond wire. In one end was the pack of 30 Texas-bred baboons, with its single overlord adult male, his harem of a dozen females of reproductive age, a few adolescents and two tiny, three-month babies.
