...seemed an unremarkable Saturday-night scene: a topless bar in working-class Detroit, shouted epithets, an ugly brawl.

...many Memphis residents, upset by the proliferation of adult bookstores and topless nightclubs, MAD is not out of its mind. But even though Police Director John Holt insisted after the protest that the ordinance would still be enforced, he announced his own surprise: three high-ranking police officers on duty that night were put on suspension, without pay, two of them for being in the vicinity of the opera hall against orders. MASH jumped back into the fray with a declaration that policemen, like all other citizens, are entitled to go to the opera. As for MAD, perhaps it could...
