Frantic Phonetics. "Christmas!" exclaims James Cartwright ("JC") Holland, "You'd think an intelligent, redblooded, white, church-going non-Communist like I ... would avoid ending up in the nude." JC, who tells about half the story in a stilted diary, is risibly riddled with middle-class hypocrisy. He believes in, and mouths at inappropriate moments, all the sociological doubletalk, cold war gobbledygook, and commercial jargon that he has ever heard...
...electrocuted, pressure-cooked, and licked by a flamethrower. Exaggerating the original's single conquest, he makes love to three women.

Among stilyagi, the Soviet Teddy boys on whom Komsomolskaya Pravda lavishes most of its sermons, it could catch on like the Twist...
...light), scorn normal bathing areas where clothes are worn as "textile" beaches. Broad-beamed male and female nudists delight in taking group setting-up exercises, sail, water-ski and throw cocktail parties in the buff. The nudists' chief foe is the Roman Catholic Church, which says that nude bathing beaches "are places where immorality is furthered.'' Light friends vehemently deny this charge, say that the reason for the rise in nudism is that "we feel less observed when we're naked."
