...using them to represent all forms of societal and psychological troubles in the world today. Sickle-cell anemia apparently can't be mentioned without bringing in miscegenation, heroin addiction, and the ghetto experience. Twin "babies" age twenty-eight, spell double-trouble night down the line: homosexuality, incest, fake suicides and "dressing up" together; they put the Bobbseys to shame...
...Henry Kissinger centerfold seems to be one of the most popular parts of the magazine. Freshmen women in the Yard are posting it on their walls, and most people who buy the parody like it.

Would they have been so amiable before the Moscow summit talks with President Nixon? On the other hand, was Sadat attempting what one European observer called "the Maltese fake"? Tiny Malta last winter tossed out British forces in a show of independence, then abruptly invited them back when Britain upped its military rent. That hardly seemed to be Sadat's game.
