COSMOPOLITAN itself poses some competition for the Lampoon, and they fail to meet it. Between the Hearst Corporation's reputation for intellectual journalism and Helen Gurley Brown's personal style in running her magazine, most of the potential areas in which a parody can play get squeezed out. The distance between an article like "The Bugaboo of Male Impotence" (in the October genuine Cosmopolitan) and "The Myth of the Male Orgasm" is not that great. The Lampoon carries a picture with its story showing a guy holding crossed fingers behind his back and tentatively approaching a girl waiting...

Anyone would think Canada's Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau, 51, was a male chauvinist or something, to listen to Helen Gurley Brown, 49. Asked on a Canadian television show what she thought of Trudeau's recent marriage to 22-year-old Margaret Sinclair, the sexpert editor (Cosmopolitan) and author (Sex and the Single Girl, etc.) used the unminced word "outrageous." Said Mrs. Brown: "What I think your Prime Minister has done is set back the cause of a certain kind of equality for a long, long time. I think the idea that you must go and pick...
