Resort to Humor. Other than stopping the bombing, the nation's editorialists seem at a loss for advice. A few have been driven to rather desperate proposals, such as the suggestion made by Detroit Free Press Editor Mark Ethridge Jr. to negotiate a U.S. withdrawal on grounds that the National Liberation Front's program for South Viet Nam is much akin to U.S. principles (TIME, Oct 13). Otherwise, about all that is left the journalists is to resort to humor, as Richmond Times-Dispatch Columnist Ed Grimsley did last week. "Clearly what the country needs," he wrote...

With their lurid titles-My Bare Lady, Caught in the Act, Thigh Spy, and Love Is a Four-Letter Word-nudies are featured at more than 400 theaters in the U.S. Dallas has five such houses, Boston four, Detroit eleven, Los Angeles twelve and Manhattan 16. The growth of the nudie drive-ins has created a new menace on the highways: near Dallas, one drive-in owner was ordered to build a view-obstructing wall after three passing motorists careened off the road while gawking at the girlies.
