...imply that a Playboy reader must be of slight intelligence, a TIME reader, not only intelligent but so sex-informed that he is no longer curious-although your ingenuous habit of juxtaposing a couple's marriage date and the birth date of their first child seems to indicate that you have at least a passing interest...
Into the Streets. His habit of constant questioning?combined with a cub reporter's curious eye?made Luce a formidable practicing journalist. His questions about President Kennedy's reading speed, asked of the President himself and his relatives, produced the article in LIFE that revealed that the President liked to read Ian Fleming, and thus launched the James Bond boom in the U.S. He also traveled out of his way some years ago to hear and talk with an obscure young North Carolina preacher named Billy Graham, then gave him his first national exposure in LIFE.

In a fury of purity, Angelo orders a young gentleman, Claudio, to be executed for fornication. Claudio's sister Isabella, a novice in religious habit, pleads with Angelo to show mercy. Suddenly his puritanical iciness melts into lust, and he offers Isabella her brother's life in exchange for her body. Through one of Shakespeare's wrong-girl-in-the-right-bed ploys, Isabella preserves not only Claudio's life...
