Picketer and SINA Vice President Bruce Spencer declared that the major immediate problem is "the grave danger of people seeking vicarious thrills by looking at nude animals. Automobile drivers are constantly getting into wrecks because they find themselves diverted by the sight of a naked cow or bull grazing right beside the highway. For just that reason, we have declared the New Jersey Turnpike a moral disaster area. We feel that people should no more take children to a zoo than to a burlesque show." (Last summer President Prout personally supervised the dressing of animals at the San Francisco...
...Smiling. In theory, a Bluebell would have a hard time losing her virtue. The girls from 16 (minimum age) to 18 must have a chaperone always with them, and the older girls (up to 29) are fired if caught consorting with the customers. No Bluebell ever appears in the nude (although eight decorative non-Bluebell nudes stand around the Lido stage while the Bluebells perform).

But Falk's painting will live as long as there are lovers of beauty." Next, Abstract Sculptor Ernst Neizvesnty, whose work also had been attacked by Nikita, took the floor. "You may not like my work, Comrade Khrushchev," the sculptor said...
...belonged to U S photo planes-soaring, diving, circling appearing and disappearing on swift, unexpected tangents. Diplomats may still argue about on-site inspection of Cuban missile bases, but the question is almost academic. Under the prying eyes of U S aerial cameras. Cuba lies as exposed as a nude in a swimming pool...
