Worrisome though it is, the court decision may be a less critical problem for the skin magazines than their own proliferation. Success has spawned successors at a rate now heading toward the suicidal. The great majority of imitators are blatant strip-offs of Playboy's successful format. Guccione, a painter and photographer who has succeeded largely on a genius for promotion, led the drive on Hefner's long monopoly in 1969-and already sells some 3.4 million copies of Penthouse each month (v.

...school sent an invitation in French to President Pompidou to attend their funerals "á une date uncertaine-cela dépend en vous."

...this is only a blatant lie to justify the continuation of the bombing in Cambodia. First of all, it is obvious that all the so-called factions are so united that Defense and State Department officials as well as American officials inside Cambodia itself have admitted consistently that had it not been for American air-power, "Government forces" would have collapsed...
