...expert in sex therapy called the book "technically instructive"; another doctor, however, warned that the author's "circus-trick" love-making techniques could prove fatal to the weak of heart. The object of their testimony: a raunchy paperback autobiography by Porn Queen Linda Lovelace, star of Deep Throat. After deliberating for nearly five hours at London's Old Bailey courthouse, a jury of nine men and three women found the British publisher of the book, titled Inside Linda Lovelace, innocent of obscenity charges. Linda declared herself "ecstatic," but others were less pleased. Groused Labor M.P. Neil Kinnock, when...

Loyalists obviously don't count for too much in Vichy because the plan is rammed down the judiciary's throat. Eventually they have to find judges and prosecutors reactionary enough to preside over this mockery of justice. Charges severe enough to warrant execution must be drummed up on at least six people. It's an obvious sham and everybody realizes it--but no one has the guts to contradict orders from above. Only fascist sympathizers or unscrupulous self-serving careerists are willing to be involved with this travesty, and even some of these feel the weight of their consciences...

Most people who bag exams are good students, people...

Northern Washington State's volcanic Mount Baker has not belched fire since the late 1860s. But now the 10,778-ft. peak may be clearing its massive throat for another outburst. Increasing volcanic activity has produced clouds of sulfurous gases and a plume of steam that can be seen in Seattle, some 90 miles away. Mount Baker's stirrings are causing some uneasiness in the town of Concrete (pop. 600), which lies at the mountain's base. While there is little chance that the town will suffer the fate of ancient Pompeii, the U.S. Forest Service...

...speakers who followed him outlined a pattern of U.S. investment in southern Africa designed to commit those "middle powers" to a policy of support for the American plans for Angola and the resources of the area. "He who controls South Africa," Gervasi said, "holds a dagger at the throat of the west, which guzzles oil at an amazing rate." Ann Seidman, visiting professor of economics at Wellesley, said that the United States had contrived to "create what some people in Africa are now calling a bureaucratic bourgeoisie closely linked with the multinational corporations." Aubrey Williams, an instructor at Yale, added...
