...this stage in the campaign it is fair to expect bolder and more explicit statements from the candidates on where they differ from the incumbent and how they would reshape U.S. foreign policy. After all, almost exactly four years before Reagan gave his Chicago speech, Candidate Jimmy Carter addressed the same audience and put the country on notice that if elected he would not let his Administration be guided by "balance of power politics," by excessive reliance on "military supremacy," or by "policies that strengthen dictators." He was committing himself to a dramatic departure from traditional Realpolitik. He stuck...
Only one character outside the family group appears at any length: the temptress in this rural Eden. An outraged father spoils the Miller's teenaged son's romance when he finds the shockingly explicit love poems by Swinburne that young Richard Miller has smuggled to his daughter. Heart-broken, Richard goes out for a night on the town with a friend of a friend whom he discovers to be a common prostitute. Daniel Sherman, the director, miscast Lydia Alix Fillingham as the whore. She perches on Richard's lap when she should sprawl. Her effort at a hard-boiled accent...
Commercial industry, using such ads in prominent and therefore influential places, e.g., in magazines and in shops, endorses the implicit and explicit sexist message. Although we do not care what happens in the privacy of individual's homes, we object strongly to public display of women performing sexual services. This kind of public portrayal of women in necessarily demeaning (no equivalent depiction is ever seen of mennor should there be). While it may be legal to cloak pornography under the guise of advertising, it is morally irresponsible and in poor taste to do so. Society has the moral right...
Penthouse magazine has earned the deserved reputation of always being one raunchy step ahead of the kiosk pack of popular skin mags. But the last step was one too far for Eastman Kodak, which has been developing the explicit color sex shots taken by Penthouse Publisher Bob Guccione. Kodak last year refused to deliver 239 out of 1,500 slides taken of Model Teresa Mackey that it considered raw and obscene. Now, faced with the threat that his photos will be destroyed, Guccione has filed a suit against Kodak in a New Jersey superior court demanding return of the film...
Kodak's legal justification for seizing "obscene" film is far from clear, but the company cites court rulings in Georgia and Texas to support its case. These, it argues, show that the firm may be held criminally liable for distributing pornography if it develops and returns sexually explicit photographs. Kodak has been quietly censoring commercial and family photos for decades. In the 1930s, snaps of nudes and even women in skimpy bathing suits were not returned; and in the '60s, neither were shots showing pubic hair. Both of those are now allowed, with the changing of public morals...
