...comedy show on BBC-TV and have begun recording their material only in the last two years. Their first two records, "Another Monty Python Record," and "Monty Python's Previous Record" contained now-classic routines like "Spam," "The Death of Mary Queen of Scots," "The Spanish Inquisition," "The Argument Clinic," and "Eric the Halfabee," but there's nothing like that on this album. The best scene is an Oscar Wilde party where each guest insults the Prince of Wales and then claims someone else made the remark. "Your majesty is like a stream of bat piss," James MacNeill Whistler comments...

That is the opinion of Psychiatrist Herbert Vandervoort, 47, director of the Sex Advisory and Counseling Unit of the University of California Medical School in San Francisco. His clinic in the past two years has been pioneering a program of low-cost sex counseling for mixed groups of as many as 40 people...
Vandervoort and his staff of 24 counselors tackle the full range of sexual woes from premature ejaculation to simple marital boredom. The approach is novel, to say the least.

The screening, which includes a few old stag reels (for "historical interest," says Vandervoort), helps reduce anxiety about sexuality while at the same time demonstrating some typical patterns of sexual behavior. Six hours of movies and a lengthy discussion with counselors are enough...

At the initial four-hour meeting, ten to 20 women meet with counselors to discuss female sexuality, history and anatomy; they know that their male counterparts are sitting in a separate room and listening through a closed-circuit television hookup. A week later, the procedure is reversed and the men talk while the women listen...
...economies of group therapy allow Vandervoort's clinic to charge an average of only $30 to $35 for each of the ten visits usually required to complete the treatment. The two-session class for couples costs $20 per person. That cost compares favorably with sex therapy facilities like the famed Masters and Johnson Reproductive Biology Research Foundation in St. Louis, where counseling is private and bills run to $2,500 per couple. There are other benefits as well. While the Masters and Johnson clinic requires a two-week stay in St. Louis, Vandervoort's clients meet just once...
