This deliquescent soft-core number from France is being distributed by a major studio (Columbia) with the benefit of a full-scale ad campaign. No exclusive linage in the sex sheets, no adhesive stickers for the walls of public toilets. Emmanuelle is being hyped as a classier breed of porn. It is as if being French somehow makes it fancier. Accordingly, there are windy full-page newspaper ads that inquire coyly, "What is the most sensual part of your body?" Several of the more likely possibilities are dismissed before the lofty conclusion is reached: the mind, the erogenous zone that...
...County, W. Va., the entire public school system has been disrupted this fall because of parental objections to textbooks. While complaints have been raised about patriotic, sexual and racial contents, the quarrel with the textbooks is very deeply a biblical issue. Fundamentalists all, the parents contend that the schoolbooks breed doubt of the Bible's literal truth.

The early Allman Brothers were the last holdouts of the genuine breed of sixties rock, and they were the best in the business-well-balanced, super-competent and, with their steeped-in-Georgia soulfulness, basic. Playing "Whipping Post" under the bright lights, the sound was fierce--Bill Graham introduced them at Watkins Glen as "the band with balls." Well, that was fine, but there was nothing distinctive about them except that they were uncorrupted and the best...
...austerity could produce some benefits, not so obvious at first, but no less long-ranging in their impact. Romantic asceticism would no longer be a viable philosophical alternative, and middle-class youths like myself would no longer feel compelled to renounce their roots. Americans would be a thinner, trimmer breed and hikes in the woods would supersede spectator activities such as horse races and the cinema...
