Patriotism is open here, even natural, although its military trappings are somewhat muted. From a booth on the main street, which has the bustle of a frontier town, Green Berets offer classes in first aid. At an Air Force exhibit near by, Scouts watch a ten-minute film about B-52s and climb into a cockpit for a simulated flight. The National Rifle Association, which has mounted a nationwide campaign against gun controls, is less subtle: a Scout learns how to shoot and how to cook the game he kills. More popular are lessons in how to pan for gold...
...world he must protect. Things used to be so simple; after a long day of reporting for the Daily Planet. Clark Kent would find out that his shapely cohort had managed to get herself stuck in a shark tank in Saudi Arabia. After checking into the nearest phone booth, he would emerge, leotards and all, leap tall buildings and so forth, to arrive at the scene of the crime just in time to save poor Lois.

Wayne B. Williams, 23, was standing in an Atlanta phone booth one afternoon last week when FBI agents approached him and, he says, "insisted" he go downtown for questioning.

But Mount Ephraim had a zoning ordinance that in effect banned all live entertainment, while allowing such commercial activities as restaurants, retail stores and beauty salons. In 1976 the bookstore and its operators, James Schad and Toni Taylor, were found guilty of violating the ordinance and fined $300. Although Schad and Taylor...
...Being outrageous" involved, among other things, dressing in drag--a display that got a gay student assaulted in Tommy's Lunch late one night last year by a man sitting in the next booth. Assaults then and now are not uncommon. Two Harvard gay students were badly beaten in the subway this spring when an angry passerby spotted them arm in arm. "Being outrageous" also included behavior which would not seem especially flamboyant if committed by heterosexual couples--like holding hands in the dining hall or on the street, and kissing each other hello in public...
