...vice but as a disease was considered progressive. Today in many quarters it is considered reactionary. Homophile opinion rejects the notion that homosexuals are sick, and argues that they simply have different tastes. Kinsey had a lot to do with this, for to him all sexual pleasure was equally valid. "The only unnatural sex act," he said, "is that which you cannot perform." His coauthor, Wardell Pomeroy, also argues that homosexuality should be accepted as a fact of human existence, and claims to have known many happy, well-adjusted homosexual couples...
...once more lenient and more stringent than law morality. It can command hard decisions as well as easy ones-acceptance of martyrdom, for example, when law morality would permit surrender or compromise. It can also say that certain acts are immoral which law ethics would consider tech nically valid. To the situationist, says Fletcher, "even a transient sex liaison, if it has the elements of caring, of tenderness and selfless concern, is better than a mechanical, egocentric exercise of conjugal 'rights' between two uncaring or antagonistic marriage partners...
...basic problem in all this is the fact that there is considerable doubt about whether that 3.2% figure remains reasonable or valid. For one thing, the Government itself only last summer revised its statistical basis for figuring gross national product and rates of productivity growth.

Under the revisions, the guideline ceiling ought to be raised to 3.6%. Moreover, businessmen claim with cause that the Administration, while merely grumbling about wage increases, coerces observance...
...glimpse of Oscar Winner Simone Signoret retreating into the mist. A smoothly professional cast clips off the randy dialogue with an inexhaustible zest for every sign of moral decay in the life of a British provincial town. Yet a film as good as Room at the Top creates no valid curiosity about the further adventures of Joe Lampton, whose future was contained in his past. Lured to this steamy sequel, bombarded with reminders of its predecessor, audiences soon know exactly where they are-leagues away from the microcosmic Warley, Yorkshire, and no more than a stone's throw from...
...first argument is a valid one. The embarrassment and ill will that would be generated by such a procedure would far outweigh the advantages of telling all. No personal comments should appear in the published report. The second argument, however, is less valid. Just as a newspaper reporter must get his point across without printing "off the record" information, the HPC need not violate confidence. And certainly, if department members are uncooperative, the HPC can obtain information easily enough elsewhere. In this University, little can be hidden from an industrious digger...
