...Called Altruism. Though it is still too soon to make final judgments, there may be other benefits as well. Police statistics for 1967, when the ban on books but not pictures had been lifted, showed a 25% decrease in the number of sexual crimes. Whether this was coincidental or had some relation to the relaxation of the laws, police are firmly convinced at least that no increase has resulted. Nor, so far as school officials can tell, has children's contact with obscene material increased. Rektor Ole Barfoed, headmaster of one of Copenhagen's largest grammar schools, says...
...pornography is no longer an issue in Denmark: leaders of the Danish Lutheran Church have not bothered to take a stand on the Thestrup bill, newspapers do not dwell on it in detail, and a majority of parliamentary parties have given it their backing. Newsstands in tourist areas are still festooned with pictures of every pose imaginable. But this export market does not impress Denmark's most active pornographer, Leo Madsen, who publishes the mass-circulation Weekend Sex magazine. Says he ruefully: "Business is not going to be good...
Most China experts question whether the assumptions on which present U.S. policy is based remain realistic in the '60s.

Still, U.S. intervention may have helped to draw the Chinese into the war. The material aid that Peking has furnished Hanoi must give the Chinese a measure of control over North Viet Nam. There is no sign yet that Hanoi is eager to end the war or settle it in Paris, but presumably...
...should stop frowning whenever its allies try to establish relations with Peking. While Britain's and France's recognition of China does not seem to have done them much good, it is still valid to assume that the more contact Peking has with the West, the better. There seems to be no need for such expressions of "concern" as were heard from the State Department earlier this year when Canada announced its decision to negotiate recognition with Peking...
