WHEN I commented to Virginia Johnson last week on what a harmonious project this had turned out to be, she said, 'Well of course it's the subject that does it.' " The subject was human sexual behavior. And the project for BEHAVIOR Correspondent Ruth Mehrtens Galvin was interviewing Dr. William Howell Masters and his associate, Mrs. Virginia Johnson, the co-authors of Human Sexual Inadequacy, for this week's cover story...
...Reporter Galvin's first meeting with the researchers involved dinner at the home of Mrs. Johnson -who long ago learned that restaurant eavesdroppers make dining-out interviews impossible. Galvin was not at all surprised to find her hostess entertaining in slacks. "After all, that's fashionable," she says, "but it was a bit startling to have Dr. Masters come in the door a few minutes later wearing orange terry-cloth jogging pants.

...behavioral sciences have been Ruth Galvin's beat since 1969, when she returned to Boston after H years in our London bureau and asked to be allowed to do specialized rather than general reporting.

The project is taking a little time because I can't get a dial tone on my telephone, one source is unavailable because his lines are down, and another is tied up with a faulty furnace." After an on-schedule, trouble-free flight into Detroit...
TIME'S cover story was written by Contributing Editor Christopher Cory, researched by Madeleine Berry, reported by Ruth Galvin. Their efforts were supervised by Senior Editor Michael Demarest. It deals with one of the most delicate issues of the day: homosexuality in American society. Once taboo, it is now the subject of debate and concern. Yet, as Cory says, "Basically it is still a topic that is explained piecemeal and in polemics. Like all study about sex, large-scale homosexuality research is really just beginning. And the findings seem to knock down many of the stereotypes...
