...onto public men. George Bernard Shaw was "mocking, mordant, misanthropic." General Erich von Ludendorff was "flagitious, inscrutable, unrelenting." The intent was novelistic. As Luce explained it, "No idea exists outside a human skull--and no human skull exists without hair and a face and a voice--in fact the flesh and blood attributes of a human personality. TIME journalism began by being deeply interested in people, as individuals who were making history, or a small part of it, from week to week. We tried to make our readers see and hear and even smell these people as part...
WASHINGTON: Flesh fanciers everywhere toasted last year's Supreme Court ruling that made the Net safe for porn. Now Playboy is hoping the high court's evident distaste for "indecency" laws will help the company strike down similar rules for cable TV. Currently the FCC says so-called indecent shows can be broadcast only from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. "They're told either scramble their dirty pictures or put them on when there are fewer kids in the audience," explains Bruce Taylor, president of the National Law Center for Children and Families.

Tie Me Down!: they give you three movies' worth of plot in a fast 100 minutes or so. His sensuous, delirious new film, Live Flesh, has plenty. Victor is involved with two women, Clara and Elena (the sorcerous Francesca Neri), both of whom are married to jealous policemen. The story (based on a Ruth Rendell novel) begins in 1970 with a prostitute giving birth to Victor on a Madrid bus and, within half an hour...
...medical school and academic probation, streaking is the ultimate affirmation of individual power. Against our fears of failure and the constraints of an institution to which we have traded our money and our well-being, we streakers assert our fleshy, warm-blooded freedom. From the roaring din and flapping flesh of the midnight hour, we conjure forth the revolutionary spirit, to remind ourselves that it still exists behind the redbrick walls of the ivory tower. Plus, everyone's naked, and that's big bonus...
