...strongest possible terms, I wish to record my violent objection to your article on the nature of sexual response [Jan. 7]. Lest I be dubbed a narrow-minded prude, I wish to state that my experience with normal and abnormal sex problems extends from my present practice through an internship at the City Hospital in Washington, D.C., and over a year as a medical examiner in New York City. I think that clinical studies such as this need to be done and should certainly be published and widely read. I further think, however, that lifting sensational descriptions from this work...
...hallways, humming and conducting an imaginary orchestra with all the jabbing vigor of a shadowboxer; another, never without his trusty baton, sat in on bull sessions and conducted the rhythm of the conversation, cueing each participant as though he were a virtuoso soloist.

Last April, seemingly from out of nowhere, she jumped right in as a substitute to sing the lead in the American Opera Society's Lucrezia Borgia and pfft! She caused a sensation the likes of which Manhattan opera lovers have not witnessed since the arrival of Joan Sutherland four years...
...shots or else view particular pieces of apparatus outside. As Giuliana and Corrado begin to fall in love and Giuliana begins to open herself up to the world again, Antonioni takes us to the radar installations at Medicina, where the tall masts stand bare along the level landscape. But lest we suspect that Giuliana has become disoriented, the director uses a small black shack as a focal point, the same way a painter might have used it, to keep us from any sensation of dizziness...
