...dusty antique-and-junk shop, the tawdry tenement at 169 Avenue B on Manhattan's Lower East Side is typical of the area. Decaying plaster and peeling paint festoon its dark blue hall ways, and a flight of creaky wood stairs leads down to an oppressively low-ceilinged cellar that reeks of dog droppings and rancid garbage. A single naked light bulb illuminates the grimy heating pipes, the cockroach-scampered walls, and piles of loose, whitewashed firebricks from the building's boiler. It hardly seems the place for a tryst, yet into that foul tomb last week walked...
...police station for a blood test or urinalysis. Anyone showing a reading of 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood faces almost certain conviction and a maximum penalty of four months in jail, a $280 fine and a one-year license suspension. Since the level is so low that some people may reach it after only two beers, Britain's millions of pub crawlers face the choice of either abstaining, getting someone to drive them home or taking their chances in the test.

TWA and Pan Am are forever squiring travel editors across the oceans, and a recent group was wined, dined and toured through Chicago. Most wrote glowing reports for their home papers. Meanwhile, New York City, through which flows 80% of the nation's foreign visitors, sent Summer Festival Queen Nancy Davison overseas for six weeks with the express...
...Sand Pebbles, Grand Prix and The Bible rang up grosses of $12,000, $15,000 and $20,000 respectively. Yet the film that outstripped all its box-office competition, with receipts of $28,000, was an unknown sexpotboiler called The Aroused. It is one of the 50 or so low-budget "nudies" that are cranked out each year for the "goon market." Capitalizing on the decline of censorship, these "exploitation films," as their producers refer to them, are now bigger and bawdier than ever...
