Houghteling is careful to point out that HLU has no blueprint for society--its aim is specific action on specific issues.

Heller of the U.S. Public Health Service, have learned much from the book. The PHS will aim its antivenereal disease campaigns at parts of the population which Kinsey believes to be most sexually active (those with only grade-school education).
