Senior Correspondent Ruth Mehrtens Galvin first interviewed Dr. William Howell Masters and Virginia Johnson for a 1970 TIME cover story marking the publication of their landmark study, Human Sexual Inadequacy. So when Galvin, who has specialized in reporting on the behavioral sciences for ten years, learned earlier this year that the researchers were about to publish a major study of homosexuality, she read the book in manuscript. Her report led TIME'S editors to the conclusion that here was an excellent opportunity not only for an exclusive preview of the new research but also for a more general look...
This week's cover story, the third in the past decade to feature the subject of homosexuality, is something of a first for Senior Writer George Church. In the decade since he joined TIME, after a distinguished career at the Wall Street Journal, Church has written and edited primarily in the magazine's Economy & Business and Energy sections. "Homosexuality is about as far removed from business as you can get," says Church. "In economics writing, you can always fall back on statistics. But there is no census of homosexuals, and with so many in the closet or only...

Khalatbari also raised a damning but unproven charge against the Shah, who, he said, "used to commit treason. He killed a few people with his own hands...
...universities would gain little from a ban on intelligence gathering under cover of overseas research. It would neither cause foreign countries to release secrets to American professors which they had not revealed before nor grant them any wider freedom of travel or access. Needless to say, strange research projects sustained by the CIA--such as MK ULTRA--discredit the agency and faculty concerned as do attempts by academics to spy on radical groups on campus. Congress must insist these activities cease immediately...
...with most writers of detective stories, Lem never lays all his cards on the table; the reader only gradually learns that the victims were all middle-aged foreigners, balding and of athletic build. (Is it by chance too that the picture of Lem on the book's back cover matches this description?) In addition, the men were wealthy, single, and had been receiving treatments for rheumatism at the Vittorini mineral baths. In two years, all eleven men either vanished, went insane or committed suicide. After an unsuccessful inquiry by the Italian carabinieri, John is called in to pose as Adams...
