...find it revolting, but some seem drawn to freckled Linda Lovelace, the female Don Juan who is also funny: a Mad magazine cloning of Little Annie Fanny and Mary Marvel. The Texas actress who plays the role, however, seems unaware that she may be joining Wonder Woman in the underground pantheon of liberation. Asked by a girlie magazine why she made the movie, she answered, "Because I'm an exhibitionist . . . and I make good money...
...separation of her parents in America and the later suicide of her mother, Hesse may be said to have been shaped by crisis. Her diaries are of a lacerating candor. Her history is reflected in the tough-mindedness of her sculpture. Eva Hesse's work exerted a steady, underground pressure on the look of New York art. The galleries are stuffed with artists whose products are unacknowledged variants on hers.

...organ of the loosely knit Democratic Movement in Russia, the Chronicle provides accurate and exhaustive news of the arrests and trials of dissidents that are not reported in the official press.

Instead, he was fed prison fare of salt fish and black bread, and was forced to work in a camp factory. When Galanskov developed a perforated ulcer, he was operated on by another inmate, a former army doctor who was not a qualified surgeon. Just before his operation...
...accounts, a virtual pogrom is in progress against the 22,000 Jehovah's Witnesses in the African nation of Malawi. The Witnesses have been outlawed there since 1967 on the grounds that they are "dangerous to the government," but they have persisted as an underground church. Malawi President-for-life Dr. H. Kamuzu Banda, a staunch elder in Malawi's Presbyterian Church of Central Africa, has become increasingly angered by the "devil's Witnesses," their unwillingness to join his ruling Congress Party, their refusal to take loyalty oaths, and their exclusivist claims to religious truth. A Congress...
