Concern for families' privacy aside, pictures of the sacrifices made for a justified war don't make people turn their back on it--just as prohibiting images of an ill-advised conflict cannot guarantee public support. When LIFE published one of the first photos of World War II casualties, its editors asked, "Why print this picture? Is it to hurt people? To be morbid?" Their conclusion: "The reason is that words are never enough...
...only possible hitch in the plan is Boston itself. A small city with manic drivers and harsh winter weather surely would not be kind to bikers. But we see no reason that this mindset cannot change with the environmental one. First, critics overestimate the problem of winter. Montreal, with a much colder and snowier climate than ours, is one of North America’s most bike-friendly cities, and its Vélo Québec was the first bike-sharing program on the continent...

The sex is graphic—blow jobs are not faked, full nudity is not uncommon—but it does not possess the showiness or glamour of its Hollywood equivalent, and every sexual scene lacks a sense of arousal; the act, it seems, cannot truly be enjoyed. Awkward as it may be to watch any sex scene in a theatre, the most disturbing aspect of watching these relations stems from the look of unpleasant necessity, rather than pleasure, that occupy the participants’ faces. A nagging guilt, like the unpleasant boil on Cousin...
