In an anticipatory dither, sophisticated and not so sophisticated New Yorkers rushed to the box office to make the show's 41 previews sellouts. They verified the rumor. Oh! Calcutta! is the nudest show outside a nudist camp. Though the top price on the scale is $7.50 for an orchestra seat, scalpers have collected $20 and more. On July 8th the box-office price...
