TIME'S cover story was written by Contributing Editor Christopher Cory, researched by Madeleine Berry, reported by Ruth Galvin. Their efforts were supervised by Senior Editor Michael Demarest. It deals with one of the most delicate issues of the day: homosexuality in American society. Once taboo, it is now the subject of debate and concern. Yet, as Cory says, "Basically it is still a topic that is explained piecemeal and in polemics. Like all study about sex, large-scale homosexuality research is really just beginning. And the findings seem to knock down many of the stereotypes...
...incident was no isolated phenomenon, and illustrated what is shaping up as a comeback of Trumanesque proportions. Just two months ago, Lindsay's re-election chances were being written off as almost hopeless.

According to one account, the KGB has used the appeal to justify sweeping investigations not only in Tallin, but also in other places, including Leningrad...
Anti-egalitarians mounted a chorus of outrage against democratized education in England seven months ago with a collection of essays entitled Fight for Education: A Black Paper. The latest barrage came this month with the publication of Black Paper Two: The Crisis in Education. Both were written by a group of traditionally minded novelists, politicians and educators. As they see it, England's thin red line of intellectual royalists is being overrun by "progressive" reformers who deliberately sabotage old-fashioned academic virtues...
