From there, they plan to gather at the Playboy Club, where a speech will be given on the sexual oppression of women-"a rather appropriate topic for the Playboy Club," said Amy Brodkey '71, an organizer of the march...
Tasmanian Opossum. In Manhattan, the waterbed display at Bloomingdale's department store for a while was a popular singles meeting place. Sears, Roebuck and Holiday Inns are eying the beds, and Lake Tahoe's Kings Castle Hotel has already installed them in its luxury suites. Playboy Tycoon Hugh Hefner has one-king-size, of course, and covered with Tasmanian opossum.

Says Tattilo: "It is possible that Mr. Hefner considers the women in his magazine 'objects' instead of individuals. This is certainly not my way. In our concept of eroticism, the woman is the 'subject' as much as the man. I think that the American woman should first think of liberating herself from herself, from her own myth that threatens to crush the American male. I am surprised that in America there is no men's liberation movement...
