Guccione made his reputation with Penthouse, his raunchy, lighthearted superskin magazine for men (TIME, July 30). Viva was supposed to be a bright and sophisticated monthly for women who find Cosmopolitan too coy. It is a logical goal, but the problems begin with the publisher himself. To place the magazine in a cosmic context, Guccione makes the dubious prophecy that "a new epoch of madness and excess awaits us."

...much of that old worshipful respect for masculine power in this new generation.

...city with more potholes in its streets and more holes in its civic pride than he had inherited. Indeed, Rockefeller and Rose supported Lindsay in 1965 as the man who could best "save" New York City after it had slid under Mayor Wagner. Last week Wagner played a coy waiting game, but the betting was that he would eventually accept the bid from Rocky and Rose...
