...California, Don Muchmore's State Poll found that voters favor by a 2-to-l margin the controversial Proposition 16, which would strengthen anti-pornography legislation by popular initiative. Known as the CLEAN amendment (for the Californiam League to Enlist Action Now), Proposition 16 would broaden the criteria for declaring material obscene and give police discretion in making seizures.

...London slums where she shares a flat with a sluttish violinist, Georgy discovers that sex is mostly a spectator sport. "You just missed being beautiful," mocks her roommate's modcap beau (Alan Bates). When the violinist gets pregnant, the mod marries her, and Georgy sticks around to cook, clean, clown, care for the baby, and light the slow-burning fires of infidelity. The emergence of Georgy is essentially a souped-up Cinderella tale, sometimes preposterous, always sentimental, but occasionally human and hilarious too. Plumpish birds who nest alone on Saturday nights will cherish its pathos, and others will respect...
