...reduce them to helpless, steaming annoyance? Because it obviously delights in clothing cruel prejudices in elevated language? To an extent. But the magazine's chief offense is not crudity, but irreverence. The Left, both liberal and radical, bickers endlessly about how best to score points for Democracy and Progress. The Right, both conservative and lunatic, takes a glum sort of satisfaction in staging hopeless goal line stands. But Buckley and his legions just sit in the stands and snicker, maliciously...
That is expecting a lot-but the schools are making more progress than anyone has a right to hope for. For one thing, many of them do not look like jails any more. Often set in wooded hills, their small residential cottages spaced around a main administration and classroom building, they bear a surface resemblance to private prep schools.

...controversy is unavoidable. To permit filming of detailed physiologic changes, many of Dr. Masters' subjects necessarily engage in what he calls "automanipulation," generally known as masturbation, and other stimulating techniques.

Dr. Masters divides the female response into four phases that vary in both duration and intensity among different women, and even for the same women at different times. The typical progression...
Schistosoma parasites hatch in water, then have a complex life cycle: they enter the body of a snail, progress to a second larval form, then emerge and enter the human body either by mouth or through the skin. In man they cause a lifelong debilitating disease marked by coughs, rashes, blood in the urine, fever and nausea; eventually they attack the liver, lungs, spleen and brain...
