...move was far from suicidal. Zappa already has enough material recorded to produce twelve more Mothers LPs. If they are like the first eight, that will mean words too dirty and music too complex to be played on the radio. No matter. It is plainly time to branch out further. Zappa is now president of the first underground rock conglomerate ever, Bizarre, Inc. It includes two record labels-Bizarre and Straight-as well as a management firm, a public relations agency, an advertising agency, several music-publishing companies, a film-production company and a book division that will start...

Best known are the Mattachine societies (named for 16th century Spanish masked court jesters), and the Daughters of Bilitis (after French Poet Pierre Louys' The Songs of Bilitis, a 19th century series of lyrics glorifying lesbian love).

From now on, many of the diet drinks will be sweetened by a sugar-saccharin compound that may contain 30 calories in eight ounces, compared with only one or two calories in a cyclamate drink and 105 in a cola sweetened with straight sugar. The revised drinks will, of course, be labeled "new," and printing on the package will note prominently that they contain no cyclamates...

Coca-Cola officials, caught unprepared by the ban, worked round the clock, preparing advertising copy and arranging to start production of a saccharin-sweetened syrup for Fresca, which will contain only two calories in eight ounces. "This was a jumping joint," says Charles W. Adams, senior vice president. "We got a lot of printers up in the middle of the night." PepsiCo, which began marketing a new Diet Pepsi the day the ban was announced, attributed its switch to a burst of altruism. Big ads in newspapers noted solemnly: the "Pepsi-Cola Company cannot in good conscience offer...
