TIME . . . errs like most men in assessing reasons for the relatively small number of top women executives in our economy [Jan. 11]. A finger of shame for such old husband's tales as ". . . lack of technical aptitude and muscle power . . . cry . . . gossipy . . . get pregnant, or something." Something, indeed! If brawn were a requisite, most male executives would be disqualified at once. Just ask their doctors-or their wives.

...Moon .Is Blue (TIME, July 6) was denied the code seal because of its lighthearted approach to sex (the script contains such words as "virgin," "pregnant," "seduction," "mistress"). The picture is making a fine profit (see above), despite the fact that 1) local censorship groups have banned it from dozens of theaters around the U.S., and 2) it has been condemned by the Roman Catholic Legion of Decency, a censoring body of greater rigidity than the code and infinitely greater power over the box office...
