Thanks to those in Masters and Johnson's profession [May 25], who dedicate themselves full time to helping make life more pleasurable for humanity. May they rip the puritanical curtain and let the sunshine in. Let us all enjoy...
...Dropped Curtain. Patriotism aside, as these men see it, the students are throwing away educational opportunities that the hardhats never had themselves and may not even be able to offer their children. While paychecks have risen to the point where construction men are the best paid in U.S. labor, inflation has left them little better off in relative economic status, and unemployment is a nagging threat.

In comes the doctor's wife (Jan Farrand), a blonde minibombshell charitably described by her husband as a nymphomaniac. When she makes her usual plaint about Dr. Prentice's lack of expertise as a lover, the doctor...
