...About Mintz. On the basis of last year's successful Teeth of Mons Herbert, I can recommend this unreservedly. Phil LaZebnik is a farceur of great range, and Mintz--if it's half as good as the people working on it have told everyone--should be excellent. Don't expect anything to shed any light on serious questions of birth, copulation or death, but this might be the intellectual's alternative to the Pudding Show anyway, since you can hardly avoid seeing at least one farce this week.

...mammoth coal companies with only token fines for safety violations, while at the same tune violating the law himself by failing to meet the required minimum qualifications for a mine safety inspector. As a result, a committee of the West Virginia state senate will decide this week whether to recommend Ashcraft's impeachment. The aggressive publication that dug out these facts is hardly a national name, though among the miners of Appalachia and labor experts across the country it is well known.

Much of what the authors recommend is sound, though hardly new: partners should talk and touch more, stop working so hard at sex if they want to enjoy it, and let sexual awareness flow through their daily lives instead of confining it to half an hour in bed. Though likable and warm, Masters and Johnson are not much given to humor. But when one woman vaguely says that she wants to have children so she can watch something develop and grow, Johnson adroitly advises: "Get a plant...
