...conductor in a conniption once defined a symphony orchestra as "a menagerie of geniuses." To capture and keep these restless creatures has never been a simple matter, and in recent years they have displayed a growing tendency to burst out of their gilded but confining cages. Wearied by the iron regimen and routine of orchestra life, front-rank instrumentalists have defected by the dozens to the concert circuit and university faculties. Money is not the issue.

Naked Wade-In. The free-sex movement has been growing slowly in various parts of the country since March 1964, when Dr. Leo Koch, a biology teacher who in 1960 was fired by the University of Illinois for advocating premarital sex, and Jefferson Poland, a restless student who says he is studying to be "either a lawyer or an agitator," founded the New York City League for Sexual Freedom. Poland, who now attends Merritt Junior College in Oakland, took the offensive for nudism by wading naked into the ocean at San Francisco's Aquatic Park last August with...
