There are, in fact, two Las Vegases -real and illusory. The real one is a sprawling, dusty desert town in which sex education is banned in the public schools, 50-odd people committed suicide last year, and the crime rate is higher than Chicago's. A Methodist Church survey shows that 27% of Las Vegas residents are divorced. The illusory Vegas is the one that will be seen by 14 million visitors this year. Like giant mirages created by the heat vapors of the get-rich-quick furnace, the neon-lit, freon-cooled sand castles of The Strip rise...
Sprayed-On Trousers. Jones' manager, Gordon Mills, has a one-word explanation for the fuss: "Sex." That is accurate enough-and the effect is carefully calculated. When Jones growls through a song in a black, bluesy style, the emotion seems to come more from the throat than the heart. The throat itself is a bit suspect: his keening, virile baritone has an alarming tendency to wobble. What seems to matter to female spectators is the way he writhes to a funky beat, tears off his tie, slashes the air rhythmically with both arms and strains his pelvis and thigh...
...wanted to make a direct statement without words," recalls Duchamp's widow. "Something you look at and just feel."

Owing to a growing climate of permissiveness?and the Pill?Americans today have more sexual freedom than any previous generation, Whatever changes have occurred in sex as behavior, the most spectacular are evident in sex as a spectator sport. What seems truly startling is not so much what Americans do but what they may see, hear and read. In those respects, the U.S. is now by far the freest country in the Western world. Moreover, it happened...
...sports-car aficionados, the sinuous lines and throaty snarl of a Ferrari are the ultimate symbols of automotive sex appeal. Even Fiat Chairman Giovanni Agnelli, a man who can afford the fin est, drives a custom-built $50,000 Ferrari that has the driver's seat centered between two passengers' seats. His car can go 180 m.p.h., but Agnelli wants more; now he intends to add the entire Ferrari company to his growing Fiat organization. A merger announcement last week said that "the current relationship of technical collaboration will be trans formed during the year into equal participation...
