...Arafat resolution, which is still being drafted in Beirut, is intended to exploit President Carter's call for a Palestinian homeland last March in Clinton, Mass. At that time, Carter also demanded that the Palestinians accept, without amendment, the celebrated U.N. Resolution 242 of 1967, which sought to end Middle East hostilities by trading a return to prewar borders for Israel's right to exist within defensible boundaries.

Slowly he becomes aware of the wicked ways...
...critics, the success of such magazines only proves America's declining moral standards, but that success also coincides with increased contemporary sexual awareness, openness, candor. In this the magazines have sometimes played a liberating role, giving space to honest facings of troubling concerns. But they all compete to exploit these concerns and curiosities. Their subject is sex, not love; their emphasis is all on experiencing and experimenting; their message is self-gratification. "I went pubic in 1967," says Guccione proudly -while Playboy was still holding back. He also started a skin magazine for women, Viva. With...
