...Tattilo, who has the sleek, confident demeanor of a successful public relations woman, was once a successful public relations woman. In 1965 she and her husband, now separated, broke into publishing with a weekly for children called Big. A year later they started Men, a vulgar weekly collection on newsprint of photographs of nude women often purchased from Scandinavia-or provided by the agents of Italian starlets. Playmen was started in 1967, and looked enough like Playboy, which was then banned in Italy, to attract buyers. Except for the European style of its nudes and a blessed absence of Hefnerian...
...abstraction, nor did it want to be. Even in Picasso's Still Life, 1912, which must have struck its first viewers as an incomprehensible assemblage of planes and lines, the viewer's eye is drawn deep into reality-captured first by the fragments of newsprint, then finding the stem and bowl of a glass, the-edge of a table, the curve of a pipe...

The July issue features San Francisco's Alvin Duskin, a social activist and successful manufacturer of knitwear, who says: "There is a growing resistance to buying clothes. The whole idea that 'clothes make a man' is over...
Cheapened Standard. Theoretically, the rise in price of Canada's dollar should add to inflation in the U.S., because it will tend to increase the cost of the raw materials that the U.S. buys up North. But producers of Canadian nickel, newsprint and some other exports intend to hold their prices steady for at least the time being in order to please their important U.S. customers. The rise in other materials is expected to be relatively small. U.S. sales to Canada will very probably increase because Canadians will have to put up less of their own currency...
