...recently completed movie on the hard-drug scene called Clay Pigeons got a fast X, largely for using a four-letter word and several scenes of full female frontal nudity. Novice Director Tom Stern removed most, but not all, of the nudity and obscenity. The rating was changed to R. Stern tried for a GP, but the board balked at a bloody ax murder...
COMMON Cause, the newly-created people's lobby, exercises unique new methods for precipitating governmental change: a mixture of political guerrilla warfare by the membership and frontal assault by lobbyists in Washington. This combination of savvy political lobbyists working directly on Capitol Hill, and a large membership pressuring their individual Representatives and Senators has proven an extremely effective method of promoting change.

One thing is clear, however; if the Nixon-Agnew candidates are successful, the results will not be very pleasant for the Vietnamese, black people...
...anger is echoed by Dana Densmore, a radical activist, writing in No More Fun and Games: "No more us taking all the blame. No more us trying to imitate men and prove we are just as good. Frontal attack. It's all over now." Martha Shelly, poet, says that "the average man, including the average stu dent male radical, wants a passive sex object cum domestic cum baby nurse to clean up after him while he does all the fun things and bosses her around ?while he plays either big-shot male executive or Che Guevara?...
