Tricked out in such garish plumage as bouffant vermilion coiffures, patterned stockings and silver demi-mini-dresses, the new whore corps is aggressive, ubiquitous and expensive (around $1 per minute). In the past five years, three huge new hotels, catering mostly to out-of-town conventioneers, have deluged the midtown area with lonely, well-to-do customers. Obeying the laws of supply and demand, girls from Harlem, Queens and states halfway across the country have flocked in to mulct the ever-growing clientele. Many of them are blonde-wigged Negroes sporting the furled umbrellas that seem to be badges...

Their obsession with mini-skirts, beards, independent prelates, actresses, and song-writers indicates an inability to face serious economic and administrative problems Their announcement to the effect that an expert committee will draw up a constitution provides no assurances that anything like a democratic government will be restored; their own actions provide even less assurance. It is the responsibility of the U.S., as the perennial Greek army builder, to quit buttressing the colonels and withhold aid until the present regime agrees to constitutional guarantees...
