...purveyors of obvious pornography be prosecuted if they make a reasonable effort to exclude juveniles and to forewarn any adults who might be offended? When a Los Angeles plain-clothes policeman walked into a store and asked about "sexy books," the store's proprietor, Murray Kaplan, answered: "All our books are sexy." Kaplan was duly arrested and convicted for selling the policeman a book that "in vulgar, gutter language ... instructed on an act of oral copulation." Kaplan and the defendants in two similar cases (another bookstore, a movie theater proclaiming ADULTS ONLY) argue that if an adult is permitted...
Better communications between the U.S. and Japan were discussed by Secretary of State William Rogers and Japanese Foreign Minister Takeo Fukuda, who is considered the leading candidate to succeed Sato. Rogers rather lamely explained that the U.S. did not forewarn Japan of the presidential visit to Peking because it was afraid there would be a leak that would jeopardize the trip.

High above and to the north, F-100 Super Sabre jets flew combat air patrol. Their mission: to forewarn of the approach of enemy aircraft and if possible to intercept. The Super Sabres' radar attention was directed mostly toward the north, where Hanoi's jet airfields are located (the Donghoi airfield, to the south, had been knocked out by U.S. bombing...
...closing, let me forewarn balletomaines that though Maya Plisetskaya, second only to Ulanov in the Bolshoi Ballet, does make an appearance, it is a very short one. For 75 seconds, she dances through a droopily choreographed pastiche of ballet and burlesque. She does not, for quite understandable reasons, seem at all interested in the shoddy proceedings...
