Progress, they say, has its virtues. And in two years Audience has expanded to six times the old size, revamped its format, and added fiction, feature articles, and artwork. Not even the night people can deny that the magazine is more attractive, what with a color cover and offices in New York and Los Angeles.

There are also body-geography and sexual-topology students-erotic spelunkers of a sort. Since the modified screenplay distantly related to From Here to Eternity, fornication in the surf has become the desideratum, so that the brief tussle in the sea foam has now become...
