...come along to whom Playboy seems neither revolutionary nor even risque. Penthouse, begun in Britain, is an earthy and unabashed imitator with a European accent that has more than doubled its U.S. circulation to 2,000,000 in the past year.

The freest spirit of all was U.S. Skater Janet Lynn...

Their faces powdered white with talcum and wood ash, the women carried placards supporting the military junta headed by Colonel Ignatius Acheampong and urging the execution of his enemies. One angry sign read CRUCIFY AFRICA, referring to General Akwasi Afrifa, a hero of the 1966 coup against Kwame Nkrumah who is now in prison, accused by the new government of trying to assassinate Acheampong and restore...
