...conclusion, Harris says: "To the central question-Should America, in the light of the Viet Nam experience, continue to guarantee the integrity of its smaller allies against aggression?-the answer is a highly qualified yes. That answer is tempered still more by a mood of caution against commitment of American blood, by a desire for a realistic drawing of lines that define just where we stand. Deepest of all is the American desire to work out some way to peace and detente with the Communists, however long or tortuous that road might...
...bounces onto the stage, pastes on her pretty Barbie-doll smile, and ingenuously asks: "Is it sock-it-to-me time yet?" The answer, of course, is a pail of water in the chops, the staple gag of Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In that has made Judy Carne the soggiest show girl since Esther Williams. Now, after two years of the routine, Judy's enthusiasm has dampened. In London to film All the Right Noises, she allowed that next season might be her last with the bucket brigade.

...answer demanded by Negroes is "black studies"-a concept that baffles white teachers, who have not yet caught up with a profound change in black attitudes toward education.

But the Fifth Amendment only permits a man to remain silent if his words might be used against him in criminal court; there is no constitutional guarantee to absolute silence. Thus, if a man refuses to talk after a grand jury agrees to remove the threat of prosecution...
Some of her hardware no doubt appeals to the abnormal. Plainclothes police frequently prowl through her stores looking for illegal merchandise. Beate herself has appeared in court about 20 times to answer charges against her, but has been convicted only twice. The last time, she was fined $1,500 for selling obscene goods through the mail. The remarkable thing about her enterprise is that it operates-and advertises-like other successful retail chains. While she does not consider herself a missionary of sex, Beate does argue that she is helping to break down old taboos in her country. "When...
