...wanes: his first record, How Can I Live Without Her, is currently No. 89 on the charts. But there was still something missing, so his handlers suggested a take-it-off takeoff of the now famous Richard Avedon portrait of Natassia Kinski, 21, with a languorous python at her thigh. For Atkins, that meant posing in the outfit that he is best known for on-screen and lying cheek by jowl with a 6-ft.-long, 20-lb. female boa constrictor. The result is a gripping bit of publicity, although Freud might be puzzled about just what Atkins is really...

...u.C.L.A. researchers have reported that herpes viruses can live on towels for up to 72 hr. and on toilet seats for at least four. In one test, a seat used by a woman with thigh lesions showed live herpes viruses 90 min. later. But most doctors down-play the U.C.L.A. study. Dr. Harold Kessler of Rush Presbyterian-St. Luke's, in Chicago, says herpetics should use their own towels, though the chances of passing on the infection via a towel are only about 1%.

Such summer retreats were also haunted by past and present tenants: "The room...

...dead, but they paid off. The head of Dr. Gross, thought and tension made flesh, is one of the supreme 19th century portraits, and the drama of contrast between the dense masses of black suits and gloomy tiers of students, and the swooning white of the patient's thigh surrounded by anxious straining hands and white cloth, reaches its apex in the fresh blood on Gross's hand and the retracted lips of the wound. Such imagery alarmed Philadelphian taste a century ago; The Agnew Clinic was rejected from the Pennsylvania Academy's exhibition in 1891 because...

KERWIN'S COMMENT underscores the main flaw in this problem-laden film. Partners invariably presents homosexuals as lustful, lascivious, whining fools. One middle-aged man, who, when he's not feeling Benson's thigh and cooing "fabulous" in the most stereotypical fashion, flirtatiously peers through ferns, squealing "Peekaboo!" or "hiii boys...
