Over the years, however, the Crimson has rejected a very small number of advertisements--cases of exploitation so egregious that we decided neither to accept the advertiser's money nor to give him space. Among these ads was an order-blank for the South African government's Krugerrand gold coins, a solicitation for Radcliffe women to pose nude for Playboy magazine, and a subscription blank for Bang magazine, another porno publication. This month the Crimson voted to reject a subscription ad from Screw magazine, which its representative described to us as "only a little more hard-core than Hustler...
...husband. If Barnett succeeds, it could open the door for similar suits by paramours and gigolos. Barnett's attorney, Joel Ladin, says she will back up her claim with more than 100 letters from King, joint credit-card records, and evidence that the tennis star routinely gave her blank checks. She is asking for title to the Malibu house and half of King's income from 1973 to 1979, which is estimated at more than $1 million...
...workers. But misery and drudgery are always comparative. Despite the sometimes nostalgic haze around their images, the pre-industrial peasant and the 19th century American farmer did brutish work far harder than the assembly line. The untouchable who sweeps excrement in the streets of Bombay would react with blank incomprehension to the malaise of some $17-an-hour workers on a Chrysler assembly line.

In Nicaragua, the average 19-year-old peasant has worked longer and harder than most Americans of middle age. Americans prone...
...more pores than the travertine of the Colosseum. One's curiosity about who they may be is stifled by Close's relentlessly forensic approach. The images verify without interpreting; each face is as naked as a body, a piece of unveiled skin with orifices. It is neither blank nor expressive, but simply there-a topographical essay, like a fulsomely detailed map that has somehow acquired the gratuitousness of art. One is sharply reminded, after a little time in this show, that Close's real subject is not people: the heads, as Art Historian Martin Friedman points...
...opposition to gun-control laws formed the Citizen's Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. Led by Lobbyist John ("Magnum") Snyder, a former Jesuit seminarian, the committee has nearly 300,000 members and a $1.7 million annual budget. Its monthly newsletter is called Point Blank. Another N.R.A. spin-off is the Second Amendment Foundation, named after the Bill of Rights provision that guarantees citizens the right to bear arms. A fourth gun lobby, the Gun Owners of America Political Action Committee, was founded in 1975 by California State Senator H.L. Richardson. The organization, which...
