...C.R.P. campaign-contribution reports, the Justice Department has been unable to find any record of the $25,000 cashier's check, nor is there any trace of the $89,000. The records, if they ever existed, vanished by the time the agents came to examine them. Among other things, the investigation now raises additional questions about the tactics of the committee in preventing disclosure of the identity of wealthy donors during the campaign. A congressional act requiring such disclosure became effective April 7. But the C.R.P. received the $25,000 check on April 11. According to the Justice Department...

The absence of ostentation was particularly appropriate in the more austere, tonally ambiguous seventeenth Rhapsody, in which it is evident, contrary to popular notion, what a serious composer Liszt often...
...more. Most Japanese scholars trace the decline of Japanese pornography to the prewar era. It was then that the imperial government, in an attempt to focus the nation's energies on making war, not love, enacted Japan's first anti-obscenity laws. Later on, American G.I.s marched in with their pinups and introduced such shocking habits as handholding in public. Before long, the battle lines were drawn: a bureaucracy committed to the defense of a dated public prudery v. a society whose celebration of private sensuality has nonetheless produced, among other things, Japan's ubiquitous "sex drugstores...
