...American frontier, but it has shed its inhibitions in full public view. Sex is no longer a taboo topic; it is, in fact, one of the commonest. Humor has not only been firmly entrenched in the bedroom, but is increasingly being brought into the bathroom. Even caustic Cartoonist Jules Feiffer says: "It's astounding what's allowable today." The gentle comedies that once titillated the town have been replaced by such farces as What's New Pussycat? and Kiss Me, Stupid, in which playboyesque exaggeration has been substituted for wit. Contemporary audiences are largely unshockable; to build...
...months Cartoonist Charles Schulz, 43, had been playing with the notion of having Snoop's doghouse burn down. Now the idea doesn't seem so comic-nor does Schulz's nickname, "Sparky." Last week his one-story studio in Sebastqpol, Calif., caught fire and burned to the ground.

This fall, Montgomery Ward for the first time established customer-relations managers in its nine catalogue territories to handle complaints in the rich and rising field of telephone orders. In Atlanta, President Rolland A. Maxwell of Davison's department store answers letters of complaint personally. President Milton...
...these developments symbolize the nation's increasing effort to stop the poisoning of its air and water by industrial plants that often seem to rival Cartoonist Al Capp's highly pungent Skonk Works. They also emphasize the growing pressures on both industry and communities to spend heavily in an effort to speed up the attack. The Gov ernment estimates that 1) U.S. indus try will have to spend ten times its pres ent $100 million annually for treating waste water if it hopes to end industrial pollution of the nation's rivers; 2) communities will have...
