...press conference last week than even his dramatic B-l decision. No wonder. His foreign policy is in some trouble at home and abroad. Such troubles are easily exaggerated by Washington (including the capital press corps), a community that pays compulsive, excessive attention to every blip of seeming success or failure. But in the past few weeks the President has been handed setbacks by a Congress reluctant to endorse his planned withdrawal of U.S. troops from Korea and authorize U.S. participation in loans to Cuba, Indochina and several African nations. Said one senior State Department official: "I'm very...
...both anti-union campaigns were successful: the Gnomon workers voted down District 65 two months before last week's decisive election in the Med Area. But the workers' rejection of District 65 stemmed net from a lack desire for a union, but from fears--fueled by Harvard's information campaign--that District 65 would not be strong enough to bargain forcefully with the University. While NLRB records show the union owes only a small percentage of its assets to creditors-giving the lie to the argument that District65's organizing drive was largely a mercenary operation-many workers who said...

(Hustler and Playboy's naughtier younger brother Oui are the other two top sellers.) Since with age and success Playboy has become the most "conservative" of the sex magazines, some might argue that its newsstand decline only proves Gresham's law. But this morality play isn't all that simple. It has more to do with society's shifting sexual standards and who is more adept...
...critics, the success of such magazines only proves America's declining moral standards, but that success also coincides with increased contemporary sexual awareness, openness, candor. In this the magazines have sometimes played a liberating role, giving space to honest facings of troubling concerns. But they all compete to exploit these concerns and curiosities. Their subject is sex, not love; their emphasis is all on experiencing and experimenting; their message is self-gratification. "I went pubic in 1967," says Guccione proudly -while Playboy was still holding back. He also started a skin magazine for women, Viva. With...
