Miss Garrity's objective in writing the book, beyond the money in it (85,000 copies sold), was to persuade women no prettier than herself ("I have heavy thighs, lumpy hips, protruding teeth, a ski-jump nose, poor posture, flat feet, and uneven ears") that being unattractive is no obstacle in the sex game. Her rules for playing it are inventive, to say the least. Among other things, she invites her readers to fantasize "being ravished by a tiger," to keep a sex diary ("briefly rate your sexual response as superb, good, indifferent or lousy"), and to "train like...
...still impressive-at least to Hancock, who is his own best publicist. "There really is no valid comparison to this work. The Stone Mountain carving is bigger than any other in the world," he says. Lee's horse, Traveller, is 147 ft. from nose to tail; those so inclined, says Hancock, "could ride a horse along Traveller's back." Jackson's nose is 41 ft. long, one of the biggest-if not the best-noses in the history of Western art. The whole composition measures 190 ft. by 305 ft., set 400 ft. up in a carved...
...strong side. For one thing, it makes the play more than ever Shylock's play. And as Shylock, Miller has Laurence Olivier-at 62, performing the role for the first time in his career.

DRAFT BOARDS have difficulty accustoming themselves to the idea that someone might get out simply because his number is not reached. They probably enjoyed the old system whereby they could channel you into a "socially useful job" by dangling a 2-A in front of your nose. Or, they could keep you on the hook, giving you a deferment for a while until they needed you. Last year, Local Board No. 3 in Great Neck (it has since moved to Manhasset, New York, because of a fire) drafted only those 221/2 and older under the old system of eldest first...
...confronting this street corner press, so much of it thumbing its nose at me, I had to remind myself again and again of the distinction between expression and action. I don't imagine it will be much easier for others. Bearing in mind that it is no test of citizenship to abide only the man who agrees with us, the reader can test his own allegiance to the First Amendment by computing how much of the anthologized material to follow he is willing to defend. He will, as well, learn which disturbs him the least- the obscenity, the pornography...
