...Nazis. After rising to captain in the U.S. Army Air Forces in World War II, he bounced back to the state assembly in 1949, got himself elected a year later to the first of two terms in Congress, where he fought doggedly for California's claim on tide-lands oil. Looking, as always, for bigger things, he took on Republican Senator Tom Kuchel in 1954, lost in a bitter contest. He practiced law for the next seven years, then decided in 1961 to challenge the incumbent mayor, genial but colorless Norris Poulson. Sam shaved off the mustache...
...through the jointly owned property of two avowed anti-nudists, and last week this too was closed with an armed guard to bar the way. But nothing seemed to daunt the enthusiastic nudists, who continued arriving wave on wave. Some made their way around the southern promontory at low tide; others formed human chains down the dangerous cliffside paths. All kept their sneakers on, at least until they hit the beach...
Both companies are, indeed, lavish in their woman-wooing expenditures.

Though the objections of property owners to the open-housing provision range from doubts about the measure's constitutionality to skepticism about its enforceability, many and perhaps most of them...
Psychoanalysts argue that both sexes enter a sort of second adolescence in the mid-40s, but the male has more sexual options. A kind of reverse Oedipal tide may run. Where he once craved his father's power, he may now covet his teen-ager son's potency. The sight of a young couple embracing in the park stabs him with a pang of envy. Meanwhile, he mercilessly scrutinizes every sag, bulge, and wrinkle that makes his wife unappetizing. In The Revolt of the Middle-Aged Man, Dr. Edmund Bergler records the rebel's plaint: "I want...
