...Saturday-night Mass in the Scheveningen maximum-security prison in The Netherlands, four prisoners interrupted the singing of the hymns. Brandishing two pistols and several spring knives that they had smuggled in, they took captive the choir and members of their families, the organist, a priest and two unarmed guards-22 people...
...John, a barker outside a San Francisco flesh club called the Garden of Eden, handed out prurient postcards to Saturday-night strollers. Near by, a group of 13 Levi's-clad preachers picketed the club and passed out leaflets which read "Topless! Bottomless! Nothingness!"

For the average American male on a Saturday-night movie date, it was once a recurring minor trauma when the leading man?Burt Lancaster, say, or Charlton Heston?shed his shirt to reveal muscles rippling in well-choreographed rows and a Mr. America chest. Gould, bare-assed in Move, evokes anything but competitive embarrassment and might even persuade...
