...safe. Shaft starts to track the money down, a process that eventually involves him with some shady types from Downtown, some anxious cops and a bevy of slinky, mindlessly sexy playmates. Compared with last year's Shaft original, Shaft's Big Score is more elaborate, a lot glossier and finally duller. Shaft himself suggests that the black man's ultimate goal is to live high, smash faces and make terrible demands on his sexual prowess. As the hero, Richard Roundtree brings considerably more fervor to the clinches than to the dialogue...
Dear Penthouse: I have read all three of your U.S. issues, and I must say you come on strong. Your paper is even glossier than Playboy's and, I suspect, a little thicker too. I guess it has to be, if you're going to make your 100 pages feel like Playboy's 300. I agree that your nudes look more real but I'm not sure yet whether I like that.

They are not necessarily even kids: the average age of Peace Corps men is 25, of women 28, and there are plenty who are in their 50s, 60s and even 70s. Most volunteers feel they have had few glimpses of glory. Many have been racked with illness and bedded down in squalor. They have slogged through colorless tasks, from building chicken houses to digging sewers. They have wrestled with tongue-twisting languages. They have gagged on incredible foods containing everything from...
...Bible study; as a result, many Christians understand better than ever before that prayer is basically a dialogue with their Creator rather than a summary demand for divine action. Even in prayers of petition, ministers note, the requests are more impersonal: there are fewer demands for better jobs and glossier convertibles, proportionately more requests that God guide Congress and the President in their search for peace...
