...becoming the busiest musical off Broadway. It opened (and closed) this month in the form of a sad travesty called Love and Let Love. Last week it was back as a romping delight called Your Own Thing, which does for the kids of the '60s, with their sexual hang-ups and his-and-her looks, something of what West Side Story-alias Romeo and Juliet-did for the rumbling teen-age groups of the '50s.

As a result, the male was no longer provided with the immediate attraction of the female buttocks. It is in compensation for that loss, Morris insists, that women are now endowed with an enticement that no other female primate possesses: the "protuberant, hemispherical breasts" that "must surely be copies of the fleshy buttocks...
