...editors of the Advocate did not plan this issue around a single theme, but the magazine's tone is consistent. The tone has to do with sex--sloppy sex. If there is a puddle school of Cambridge photography, there seems also to be a crotch school of Cambridge writing. The old pendulum of emphasis has swung with a vengeance in the past few decades from Victorian modesty to paperback love; it has not been a desirable move. A passage like, "I learned my first great lesson in love one afternoon when I came upon my mother curled in a corner...

Moving onward and downward, Paar tore into the "yellow journalists," attacked the New York Journal-American for its "warmongering," its sex mania, and its "editorials by Tarzan: Me good American, you good American . . ."
