When word got out that the Danish government was helping to fund Jens Jørgen Thorsen's blasphemous new film The Love Affairs of Jesus Christ, the Young Christians mobilized a protest march of 5,000 people through the streets of Copenhagen. In Amsterdam, a summertime citadel for hippies, many of Holland's 10,000 Jesus People joined a throng of young evangelists from overseas in distributing roses and Gospels as they marched to a park service.

Thanks to a prudish legal system that forbids the guillotining of people who speak that way, the pair are allowed to continue yapping and fornicating until even Director Jens Jørgen Thorsen wearies of the charade...

Why: her face; the rest: 35-in. bust, ditto hips, 25-in. waist, 5 ft. 8½ in. height, 114 lb. Eleanor Roosevelt modeled again, this time a two-piece wool suit-dress in Eleanor...
