...soft-core movie in which a woman is eviscerated and sawed to pieces by a sadistic gang leader apparently modeled on Charles Manson. (Though the advertising implies the woman was actually murdered, it is a hoax.) "If anything should be censored," says Psychologist Wardell Pomeroy, co-author with Alfred Kinsey of Sexual Behavior in the Human Female, "Snuff would head the list." The movie was banned in Baltimore, Wilmington, Del., and Orange County, Calif. In New York City, protesters picketed the theater showing Snuff. Such fledgling porn fighters as Critic Susan Sontag, Historian Martin Duberman and Author Grace Paley demanded...
...there's something more to this book than plain old American voyeurism, although that's a large part of its attraction. The Kinsey Report it's not but it isn't just People magazine, either.

Dean served four months of his one-to four-year term for obstructing justice. Kalmbach, who completed the minimum six months of his sixto 18-month sentence, dined in Washington with his lawyers. Once Nixon's personal attorney, he had raised much of the hush money paid secretly to the original Watergate defendants. Magruder, the former deputy director of Nixon's 1972 re-election committee, who had admitted...
...since the Kinsey reports has there been such a large-scale study of American sexual mores as Sexual Behavior in the 1970s by Morton Hunt (395 pages; Playboy Press; $10.95), based on a poll funded by the Playboy Foundation (TIME, Oct. 1). But given the long-heralded sexual revolution in the U.S., Hunt's conclusions should not surprise anyone. Among them: married couples are having sex more frequently and are doing so "more imaginatively, voluptuously and playfully than their counterparts of a generation...
