...Public Service was presented to TIME for last year's Bicentennial issue, "Independence!," the most popular issue in the magazine's 53-year history. Four days earlier, TIME had won the national Headliners Award for this same July 4, 1776, issue. Both honors came as Senior Editor Otto Friedrich, who edited our first Bicentennial special, was plunging into the closing stage of preparation for the mid-May publication of our second special, "The New Nation," dated Sept. 26, 1789.

The result is a huge mass of material, quite interesting in and of itself, but leading to a subjective nowhere, without form...
Some who have defended porn are now queasy about the new sex-cum-violence trend. Boston Psychiatrist Otto Marx, who has testified in court in defense of Deep Throat and other hardcore films, draws the line at S-M films like The Story of O. Says he: "It is where this kind of mental and physical violence is being done in the context of sex that I begin to worry." Many are drawing the line at Snuff, a wretched soft-core movie in which a woman is eviscerated and sawed to pieces by a sadistic gang leader apparently modeled...
