...Chairman prescient? Could he have anticipated by more than four decades an ingenious scheme just conceived by University of Alaska Geophysicist David Stone? If Mao had carried his maxim a little farther, says Stone in a tongue-in-cheek letter to Geotimes, China could have threatened distant enemies with mass destruction years before the development of nuclear warheads and long-range missiles...
With tongue in cheek, Christianity Today noted the renascence of a fine old Puritan practice. In Pottstown, Pa., teen-agers have banded together in the Society to Bring Back Bundling as a distinct improvement over the variable climate and other distractions of, say, the drive-in theater and dead-end street. Reports the magazine: "Parents and preachers, roused by a badly bungled moral code, banned bundling; better heating in larger homes cooled it. Bundling has been rekindled by a spark from a new moral code." Said the president of the Pottstown bundlers: "In many colleges, boys and girls today...
...Should Never Be," a desultory serenade. This song's marcato conclusion features the best example of Plant's consummate syncopated singing in which he takes cognizance of each word past and forthcoming, and deftly employs the syllables to counterpoise the principal rhythm. "The Lemon Song" is a tongue-in-cheek medley of blues cliches, even to the point of "down on this killin floor."

...G.I.s in Viet Nam is so high that Brigadier General David Thomas, the U.S. Army's top medic in the war zone, has suggested a drastic solution: Army-run brothels. Understandably dismayed by such a proposal ("Government-sponsored moral collapse"), the weekly California Southern Baptist countered, tongue in cheek, with an even farther-out suggestion. "Perhaps," the magazine editorialized, "we ought to send into battle zones only married men whose wives can accompany them to a relatively safe zone near the battle area, and the men could spend a week on the front line and a week at home...
True to Life. More like a hippie commune than a country club, the abbey, under Dom Besret's direction, was open to everyone. Young and old, men and women, even non-Catholics, could freely come and go. When they met, they kissed each other three times on the cheek. Laymen helped prepare meals, tend the vegetable garden and the six cows. Prayers were informal and spontaneous, usually including references to world events and problems of the day. Dom Besret's message was simple: overcome all personal differences and become one people in love...
