...hair of the male human animal grows more slowly than crab grass-about ½ in. to 1 in. a month. But it never stops growing this side of the grave. Were it not for the tyranny of fashion, which insistently summons men to the barber, they might all conform to the Book of Leviticus, which commands that "Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard." In these shaggy times, which can produce a Van Cliburn, an Allan Ginsberg and a Joe Namath, not to mention the Beatles, the Monkees...
...film about latent homosexuality, adultery, and various forms of human perversion, Reflections in a Golden Eye moves pretty slowly. John Huston's latest offering glides languidly through a series of loosely-tied scenes, punctuated by flashes of nudity (male and female) and spasms of sudden violence. The movie's general torpor is heightened by someone's decision, presumably Huston's to shoot through a filter that allowed only forms of red to record properly. All other colors show up black and white but red all over. It is difficult to go through the film without idly wondering...
...very idea that abortion should present a dilemma [Oct. 13] infuriates me.

What a frightful picture. All the male lawmakers don't seem to understand that a pregnancy cannot be held in abeyance while an appeal, is made. Let the women write the laws...
...charging service industries $3.50 a week per male employee, the controversial S.E.T. was supposed to help channel more labor into tax-subsidized manufacturing jobs. Instead, service industries have added the tax to their prices and kept their help-while manufacturing employment has dwindled. All by itself, the S.E.T. has so far boosted the cost of living by 0.5%, according to Treasury estimates. Though pledged with the advent of North Sea natural gas to push Britain toward a cheap-energy policy, the government this month raised the price of nationalized electricity...
