...Pessimistic over the sex explosion [July 11]? Not me. Perhaps at last people will get so accustomed to the sight of the human body undraped that they will no longer spend their time and money just to see it. Soon movies, magazines, plays, etc., will have to come up with some other gimmick to attain the attention of the public and the dollar. Who knows? Maybe someone will even rediscover the use of thought and talent...
...half as entertaining as the brothel in which Behan's play is set (in fact, to judge from those of my relatives who came to this country, I'm sure it's not even a tiny bit as entertaining), I was nevertheless ready to leave for Ireland as soon as the play ended. Except for the fact that it would have entailed explaining the whole situation to the secretary at Charter Flights, I'd probably be in Dublin right...
...quite confusing), while all the time throwing in lets of contemporary asides. I could quibble over whether many of the adlibs should have been included.

...Joiner, then a septuagenarian wildcatter, opened up the great East Texas oilfields in 1930 when he brought in his gusher, Daisy Bradford No. 3. Legend has it that soon afterward he lost oil leases worth $100 million in a three-day card game. "Anything you hear about the boom towns won't be an exaggeration," says H. L. Hunt, the multimillionaire, who remembers that holdup men were so common that he and his partners would always walk single file and 16 feet apart when they went to town. The reason, he explains, was that "the bandits wouldn...
