In retaliation, coeds donned their shortest minis and routed the green guards with a chant of "Get lost." Girls at a youth hostel unanimously voted that "men should not decide what women will wear." One secretary defended her mini, explaining that it made it easier for her to move around the office and push through a crowded bus. A women's leader, who is also a Member of Parliament, backed up the miniskirted girls, assuring them that "you can go naked...

...first victim of The Boston Strangler has fallen. Ten equally obscene murders later, the community is hysterical but the cops are still as empty-handed as they are empty-headed. Their few scraps of fact have only served to compound the confusion. What kind of man would violate women with wine bottles and brooms? How could he gain entrance to so many apartments without using burglar tools? How can he murder with such blind, mindless ferocity and still leave no usable clues...
