...Neither prude nor Puritan, Hogarth sought to lay bare the foibles of his England. Yet he was no revolutionary; he wore the scarlet coat of a gentleman, and respected the Crown. He married the daughter of the man who painted murals in St. Paul's, eventually succeeded him as Serjeant-Painter to Kings George II and III. He began life as an apprentice silversmith, wound up with a country house and six servants...
...same flat. The flat is on Manhattan's Upper East Side, and the wicked rejoinders wafting through the premises kept Broadway playgoers bouncing happily into the high-priced upholstery for a couple of years. Alert to the undertones of Muriel Resnik's comedy, even a prude could relax and enjoy it, secure in the knowledge that every vibrant innuendo was just a homily in disguise.

It's worth a second thought but hardly a whole movie...
...strongest possible terms, I wish to record my violent objection to your article on the nature of sexual response [Jan. 7]. Lest I be dubbed a narrow-minded prude, I wish to state that my experience with normal and abnormal sex problems extends from my present practice through an internship at the City Hospital in Washington, D.C., and over a year as a medical examiner in New York City. I think that clinical studies such as this need to be done and should certainly be published and widely read. I further think, however, that lifting sensational descriptions from this work...
