MEMO TO ADVERTISERS

€9 love that reader

February 1963

O. а

са?

You hear а good deal these days about testing advertising effectiveness. And
that's good, We're for it.

But what do you hear about testing editorial effectiveness?

Like it says in the song about love and marriage, you can't have one without the
other, (A debatable statement about love and marriage, but an incontrovertible
FACT about magazines.)

And how do you test editorial effectiveness? Well, for one thing, there are
Starch Editorial Readership Studies, showing the percentage of readers for each
editorial feature. (Please ask us to show you the eye-opening scores that PLAYBOY
racks up on every study.)

But for measuring one magazine's editorial effectiveness against another's, I
suggest you ask to see their ABC statements. We'll be happy to send you PLAYBOY's
statement for the 6 months ending 6/30/62, and if you'll use it as a yardstick for
your comparison, we promise you some fascinating reading.

PREMISE: If it has editorial effectiveness, readers will buy the magazine,
If it lacks editorial effectiveness, the magazine will buy readers.

So, one test of effectiveness is: how many readers are willing to pay the mag-
azine's full cover price at the newsstand? For PLAYBOY, it's an average of
993,793 per issue at 60¢ ($1 in December and January), or 75,85 of the total
circulation, For Friendly Competitor "А" (name on request) it's 139,850 per
issue at 60¢, or 16% of the total circulation, For Friendly Competitor "В"

(mame on request) it's 64,595 per issue at 25¢, or 6.3% of the total circulation,

But that's only one test. A magazine can also have strength in its subscription
circulation, of course, So our next question is: how many subscribers are willing
to pay the magazine's basic subscription rates? And next, how many have to be
bribed or cajoled by premiums, "trial offers," and cut rates?

PLAYBOY has no cut-rate subscription drives. Of the 121,712 subs it sold in the

period, 96% were at basic prices (the remainder represent slightly reduced rates
on multiple gift subs). Friendly Competitor "A" sold 246,820 subs, only 51.7%
at basic prices, Friendly Competitor "В" sold 459,733, but only 16.9% at basic
prices.

PLAYBOY has no premiums, Friendly Competitor "А" used premiums on 7% of the subs
it sold in the period, while Friendly Competitor "B" used them on 1%,
"Trial offers" are usually less-than-one-year subs sold at reduced prices,

PLAYBOY has no trial offers, and sold only 276 less-than-one-year subs (to college
Students for the school year). Friendly Competitor "А" sold 72,609 less-than-one-

year subs, representing 29.4% of the total number sold, Е "ly Competitor "В"
sold 236,634 less-than-one-year subs, representing a whopping 51,4% of its total
sales,

Interestingly enough, despite the contrast between the intensity and nature of

the other magazines! circulation efforts and PLAYBOY's spontaneous sales, Friendly
Competitor "A" actually lost 3508 in circulation during the period; "В" gained
42,389; while PLAYBOY gained 74,336, And in total, PLAYBOY's 1,310,000 circulation
is now 1 1/2 times the size of "A" and 1 1/3 times the size of "B,"

By relying on cut-rate subs for its circulation, a magazine is clearly stating that
its editorial content does not have enough appeal to induce readers to pay the
established price. And, moneywise, it plays a curious game with the advertiser's
dollar, It uses the advertiser's dollar to subsidize large circulation promotion
expenditures to earn the privilege of selling copies to the subscriber for less

than it costs to produce them, Having gained this less-than-enthusiastic subscriber
with the advertiser's money, the magazine then adds him to its rate base and uses
him as a statistic to justify charging the advertiser more for his advertising!

And that's not the end of it, Since this less-than-enthusiastic subscriber is
still less enthusiastic about renewing at basic rates, the magazine is forced to
sell more and more cut-rate subs in every period while it sells less and less
basic subs, just to stay even, And the costs go up and up -- to the advertiser,

To reiterate: PLAYBOY IS A MAGAZINE THAT READERS DUY, NOT A MAGAZINE THAT BUYS
READERS.

The difference is not accidental. Instead of spending its money to hire an
audience for the advertiser, PLAYBOY invests it in putting on a first-rate edi-
torial performance which brings in the customers at the full price of admission,

PLAYBOY's spectacular success simultaneously in both circulation and advertising
confirms our basic tenet -- that interested readers make interested customers
for the advertiser. The happy cycle benefits the reader, the advertiser, and
the magazine, because their interests complement each other.

And PLAYBOY consciously adds and retains interested readers by mot only enhancing
the quality of its editorial content, but by expanding it as advertising linage
expands, We maintain an average of approximately 70% editorial to 30% advertising.
For every page of advertising in an issue we add an extra page of editorial con-
tent, over and above the basic editorial package offered every month, Thus, the
advertiser's money is actually reinvested in creating an even more attractive
climate for his advertising.

Underlying all of this, and the fountainhead of all of PLAYBOY's success, is the
fact that its editors know precisely the audience the magazine is designed for,
and their eyes never wander from the target.

And that is what makes PLAYBOY the most successful men's magazine the country has
ever known, and that is what makes it the most effective advertising medium for
what Printer's Ink calls the "big, rich, but tough male market."

And that is why you advertise in PLAYBOY, Or should.

Cordially,

BUSINESS ETHICS

In your recent fine panel discussion of
Business Ethics, the distinguished partici-
pants (including Messrs. Javits, Carey,
Benton, et al.) overlooked the basic evil
of the Stock Option device; namely, the
assumption that the market performance
of his company’s stock constitutes a valid

yardstick of the executive's managerial
contribution. Actually, as shown by the
record, there is practically no correlation
between the market fluctuations of а
company's shares with either the eam-
ings or the individual managerial elfort.
Vhrough the self-serving Option device
(including the Reset practice whereby
the Option price is reduced if and after
there is a market decline) a select
management group gets free-of-charge а
tax-sheltered stock market ride on a
heads Lwin-wilsno-dice guarantee. Sub-
stantiating the immorality of the Option
practice, apart from its material cost to
reholders, are its common cynical
cation as a needed device to enable
l-bracket corporate officials to avoid
the still tax rates imposed on ordinary
carned and the “everybody's
doin Utionalization.

irritating overbusyness, there is a simple
way to break this bad habit: membership
in the Book-of-the-Month Club. During

which will surely be as interesting and im-
portant as those shown here—will be made
available to members at the special mem-

below the publishers’ regular retail prices.

Ж Your only obligation in the trial
membership suggested here is to buy as
few as three of these 200 books, in addition
to the three you choose from these pages.
The three you choose now will be sent to
you immediately, and you will be billed
one dollar for each of them (plus a small
charge for postage and handling).

you continue, with every Club choice
you buy you will receive а Book-Dividend

A real stickler for quality! Won't

care that your friends will. But, if
it does make a difference, here's.
how you can resolve the situation.

The Miracord will satisfy the most

as responsive as а fine chemist's

And, unlike other quality players
which can only be played manu-

free to listen undisturbed — free
to pursue any other activity with-

1 have read in a syndicated news-

decide whether to publish the nude
photographs that it took of the late
Marilyn Monroe before her suicide. May
I simply say that 1 am quite sure you
would not be guilty of necrophilia or
ad taste if you did publish these photo-
graphs. Miss Monroe was sui generis;
in conversations today, her name is not
mentioned with the reservations or guilt
5 that so often surround mention
of the recendy dead. Frankly, for some
reason | don't pretend to understand,
it would appear that she is still alive.
Hollywood would probably refer to this
as “immortality.” This is simply onc
reader's vote for publication of the
photographs.

Important News
about Imported Scotch

How a sea voyage in its original casks from our Distillery
in Bowling-By-Glasgow, Scotland creates a Scotch Whisky with
the unique combination of elegant taste and thrifty price.

It may scem surprising that the news
we have to tell you, news of a some-
what revolutionary nature to the
Scotch industry, should come from
the quiet hamlet of Bowling-By-Glas-
gow, Scotland. But then our story
is full of surprising twists and turns.
The Art of “Gentle-ing.” [t actu-
ally begins centuries ago when the
wealthy wine merchants of the Old
World used to ship their wines out
for an ocean voyage in their original
casks, and then ship them back again
to their point of origin. This process
came to be called "gentlc-ing" and
it was accepted as being the best way
there was of bringing wine to its point
cf perfection. And now this same
method holds true for Scotch
Whisky.

Actually, all quality Scotch Whis-
kies are blended, matured and han-
dled in pretty much the same way,
from the same basic Scotch malt and
grain whiskies. House of Stuart is
no exception. It із a blend of at least
20 of the finest Scotch distillation:
And istilled, blended, and aged
in our Distillery in Bowling-By-Glas-
gow, Scotland.

The House of Stuart Difference.
But here is where House of Stuart
departs from other quality Scotches.
For after aging their Scotch,
the makers of House of Stuart
—like the wine merchants of
old send their fine Scotch out
to sea in its original casks to
be "gentled." We import
House of Stuart to America in
its original casks, as the final
step in the perfect blending

It's Smart
To Buy Right

‘fifth

depending upon

individual state
taxes

process. Because of this “gentle-ing”
process, House of Stuart is a perfectly
blended Scotch Whisky, with a per
fect taste.

But this is where the surprise comes
in. This long ocean voyage in the
original casks, which so perfects the
taste and blending of House of Stuart,
also considerably reduces the price of
this fine Scotch Whisky
$2.00 Less Per Fifth. Let us explain.
You see, Because it is shipped to Amer-
іса in its original casks, House of
Stuart does not have to pay taxes
and duties as high as those paid by
other Scotches that are bottled over-
seas. Also, there is a substantial sav-
ings on transportation costs because
то money need be spent for the ship-
ment and protection of fragile glass
containers and cartons. This all
means that we can sell—and you can
enjoy —House of Stuart at almost
82.00 less per fifth than many popu-
lar brands,

So, that's our story. And а pretty
surprising опе it is, too. We were will-
ing to make this extra effort to get
the perfect blend and taste for our
House of Stuart Scotch. And we also
end up with a Scotch that costs you
less. Of course, because of this, the
perfect end to our story—for both

ourselves and you, too—would
be for you to visit your neigh-
borhood liquor mart or store
and ask for House cf Stuart.
Ifyou do, you'll scon see what
we mean when we say, “It's
smart to buy right!” It’ssmart
to buy imported House of
Stuart Scotch.

PLAYBOY AFTER HOURS

1: Your boyhood commenced sometime
after the era of Jules Verne and be-
fore the advent of Horatio Alger, chances
are that you became addicted to the hair-
breadth exploits of that paragon of
pluck and moxi; that cleandiving
champion of God, Home, Flag and
Mother; that indomitably optimistic and
sticktoitive spouter of sticky sampler
the Tom Swilt, of
whom Frank Menriwell, the Rover Boys
and even Tom Swift, Jr. — his contem-
porary namesake — are the palest reflec-
tions. Perhaps the most unforgettable
of all the memories inspired by this
abled folk hero is the prose of Victor
Appieton, Tom's inimitable creator: а
mélange of wildly improbable plots
larded with impossibly stilted dialog
beside which the pomposities ої Bull-
winkle's incorruptible Dudley Doright
fairly crackle with wit and verisimili-
tude, “If you don’t unhand that lady,”
Tom used to say, "I will be forced to
resort to fisticuffs.” Or, “Scoff if you wish,
but my Electric Acroplane shall fly.”
Aud as if this weren't enough, he would
always say it “steadfastly,” “cheerfully,”
јашу," or even “gail

As we slogged “resolutely” through the
syntactical swamp of a typically Tom
Swiltian tale the other day, we found
owrsclf thrashing about in search of
fresh and more fitting dialog for the un-
likely adverbs attached like barnacles to
nearly every deathless utterance. “ ‘How
about a roll in the hay? said Tom
loftily.” we ourself muttering.
“Tm afraid you've got the mumps,’ said
Tom infectiously.” we offered then, to
по опе in particular. “ ‘Isn't anyone
going to bid? asked Tom passively” was
our next gem. Clearly, things were get-
ting out of hand. The dialog began to
pour out unbidden: "ГІЇ have a mar-

‘but I'm quite fond of charades' he

And yet more: „Ive bought а negli

with the lives of the children, touching
their fantasy forays around a “haunted”

endless complications of life. As Atticus,

“Anthology” films — pictures made up
of separate short episodes on related
themes — are in season, and the latest is
7 Capital Sins, which as usual has a few
juicy pickings amid а lot of crop. Each
of its seven episodes deals with one of
the catechistic sins, but it’s less catechism:
than cataclysm for most of the talented
people involved. Jean-Luc Godard, the
life breath of Breathless, pufis to no avail
in Laziness. Greed, by Felicien Marceau
nd Claude Chabrol, has the gall to use
the old Gallic gag about the cadets who
sell lottery tickets amongst themselves,
the winner to use the money for a night
with an expensive poule; the poule
pleased that she gives back the p
the ticket. Only two of the episodes are

nfully good. Pride (Roger m) tells
of а wile, planning to run off with an-
other man, who discovers that her hus-
band has a mistress she is no sooner
piqued than unpacked. The best of the
bunch is Anger, Eugene Tonesco's first
screen script, Satan visits Earth on a
Sunday and is unholily horrified by the
wholesome harmony. Suddenly a fly ар-
pears in every husband's soup at every
Sunday dinner table, and in swift Swift

international imbroglio and — boom.

segments relies heavily on broad Gallic
farce at the expense of Gallic subtlety,
Gluttony exceeds in this respect. And
speaking of gluttony. it takes a glutton
indecd to relish the serving of seven such

courses in one sitting. Lumped together
they are, each episode seems less slap

good directors can make a picture seven
times as good as one of them is about as
sensible as having seven fathers to sire

's sexual freedom — or lack
of same — can accurately be gauged by an
analysis of its illegitimate births: i.e., if
the rate of illegitimacy can be shown to
have increased over an extended period,
then clearly the country is becoming less
repressed sexually. 1 have a hunch that
an examination of Swedish statistics will
reveal just such a long-range illegitimacy
rate increase. How about ї?—]. P.,

Your hunch is wrong. In 1960, 11 per-

wedlock. During the mid-Thirties, the

First, aperitif wines such as vermouth,

Their penetrating, lingering flavors are
conducive to slow sipping, and all are
low in calories (four ounces of dry ver-
mouth on the rocks contain a mere 120
calories). Second, tall drinks such as rum,
bourbon or Scotch and soda ох 80-proof
vodka and tonic. There's less of a tend-
ency to gulp these in the same quan-
tities as smaller, calovie-packed cocktails
or straight liquor taken neat. Finally,
a botile of stout or ale sipped before
dining (about 150 calories) not only sat-

Not at all. The girl obviously has some
sychological roadblocks in her sex drive
that should be removed forthwith. This
can perhaps best be achieved by demon-
strating to her that there is as much, if
not more, joy to be had from spontane-
ous combustion as from an elaborately
prepared five. Choose a moment far te-

moved from your habitual nighttime
setting —after Sunday breakfast, say, or
during an afternoon drive in the country
—and proceed with persuasive ardor to
try to bring her to terms. There's а good
chance that her defense mechanisms will
crumble, and that she'll soon be thanking
you for having liberated her libido.

ММ. you please define the term
house party"? I recently made а fool
of myself by accepting an invitation to
a house party in a Chicago suburb on a
ay evening and arriving with an
overnight bag, on the assumption I and
other guests would at least spend the
night, if not the entire weekend, at our
host's house. Nothing of the sort was
intended and there was a bit of embar-
issment before the fact became clear to
me. Then I said to my host, “You did
say “house party,’ didn't you?" He replied
* the affirmative and explained that
“house party” means а party at someone's
house. Being his guest, I didn't argue
but that's not what it means where 1
come from.—J. F., New Haven, Con-
necticut.

The last four words are the operative
ones in answering your question. In the
East, at Ivy institutions, and among U
(as opposed to non-U) people, house
party usually means at least a one-night
stopover at the party givers house
Throughout the rest of the country
merely means а party given at someone’:
home. Although U usage generally fol-
lows Eastern patterns, some U types in
other regions cleave to the U meaning
of house party, but your host's interpr:
tation is, generally, the more common,
and these days not necessarily non-U.

PLAYBOY INTERVIEW: FRANK SINATRA

a candid conversation with the acknowledged king of showbiz

In an age of superstars, Frank Sinatra
is generally conceded to be the biggest
of them all: one of the box-office giants
of the screen, the highest-paid night-club
performer in show business, among the
alL-lime top recording artists of popular
or classical music, seven-time winner of
PLAYBOY'S All Star Jazz Poll — including
the 1963 award, announced on page 81
—as the favorite male vocalist of both
readers and fellow musicians. He is also
one of the biggest of the businessman-
stars (with a $25,000,000 empire girdling
the entertainment world from such lu-
erative concerns as Reprise Records to
Lake Tahoe's Cal-Neva Lodge), first
name friend of Presidents, unchallenged
titleholder as the most controversial fig-
ure in show business and lately —to the
surprise of many fans and critics alike —
self-effacing philanthropist and goodwill
ambassador abroad, giving currency to
talk of a "New Sinatra.” It was in search
of the real Sinatra —new, old or simply
malure — that PLAYBOY recently ap-
proached the press-shy star with a request
for an exclusive interview. Rightly refus-
ing to waste his time with predictable
small talk, Sinatra agreed to sit down

that this very айп is the basic premise
and prerequisite of the “Playboy Inter-

easily through the breakneck business

routine — answering our questions be-
tween takes on the set of “Come Blow

stars seem concerned less with earning
good reviews for their performances than
with avoiding offense in their personal
lives. Many people will be shocked by
what he has to say, but many more, we
aver, will feel that the candor of his
insights adds a new dimension to their
understanding of the complex, articulate
and thoughtful. man who is the chief
execulive of his profession.

SINATRA: Well, that's like apple pie and
mother—how can you be against it?
despite the universal and
unanimous assumption that both powers
— Russia and the United States—ul-
ready have stockpiled more nuclear
weaponry than is necessary to vaporize
the entire planet, each power continues
to build, improve and enlarge its terri-
fying arsenal. For the first time іп his
tory, man has developed the means with
which to expunge all life in one shudder-
ing instant. And, brother, no one gets
a pass, no one hides from this опе. But
the question is not so much whether dis-
armament is desirable or even whether
it can be achieved, but whether if we
were able to achieve it—we would be
better off, or perhaps infinitely worse off.

some third power — is secretly arming or

By any measurement, a classically correct young man-about-clothes who knows the business and social importance
of dressing well, the PLAYBOY reader selects his dinner jacket as carefully as he selects an attractive dinner date. How does
he look? Well turned out— because he looks first to PLAYBOY and its eminent fashion authority, Robert L. Green, whose
tasteful tips and forecasts keep PLAYBOY's urban man-of-means a constant trendsetter. Next, he looks to PLAYBOY's
quality apparel advertisers and unique Reader Service for "where to buy" fashion firsts. How well does he buy? Well,
indeed (over 1,300,000 copies enter PLAYBOY households each month — of which 33.0% spend $500 or more a year to

DUAL FILTER

THE PLAYBOY PHILOSOPHY

the third part of a statement in which playboy’s editor-publisher spells out —for friends
and critics alike—our guiding principles and editorial credo

t with the old wa
ideas, the old traditions and taboos is
evident all around us. After 20 y
of Depression-bred and War-nurtu

ys the old

security and the common man, the Un-
common Man has at last come back into
his own, along with a renewed respect for
the uncommon mind, the uncommon act
and the uncommon accomplishment.

А great many Americans now rec
that the de-emphasis of both initiative
and education along with our lack of
growth in the arts and sciences cost us
the position of undisputed world leader-
ship we once took for granted. Another
country, hardly as high as our belt buckle
three decades ago, is now reaching for
the stars ahead of us. We've learned a
bitter lesson, but if we've learned it well,
it may well have been worth it.

By subverting our faith in ourselves,
both as individuals and as а nation, by
shaking our faith in the superiority of
the free enterprise system, we managed to

to a near standstill. By а,
many of the basic tenets upon which this
nation was founded, we have begun
forcefully to move ahead once more.

If any of us were ever in serious doubt
about the relative merits of group-
oriented, collectivist socialism or com-
munism versus self-oriented, individual
initiative, free enterprise capitalism,
we've witnessed irrefutable evidence of
the strengths and weaknesses of both
over the last generation. Setting aside
the social significance of a free society
for the moment — and the fact that по
government that places its emphasis on
the importance of group good over in-
dividual good can long remain free —
capitalism has proven itself the superior
economic system in country after country
since the War.

It is not because of any inherent flaw
in American capitalism that Russia has
been able to catch up to us in many
arcas over ihe past 20 ycars— quite
the opposite: It is because this country
drifted dangerously in the direction of
socialism during the Thirties and Fortics
that we began to falter and fall behind.
Several nations in post-War Europe have

editorial By Hugh M. Hefner

found a new economic strength through
capitalism and much of Western Europe
s enjoying an unparalleled prosperity
because of having taken the free enter-
prise system to the international level
with the Common Market. America,
on the other hand, has stifled her nat-

growth through initiative-inhibiti
taxes and restrictive legislation г

Now there promise of
change, however, as both political parties
apparently recognize that this country's
economic health is intimately tied to
the profit an individual or в company
n hope to turn, after taxes, Гог addi-
tional ellort or for risk capital invested.
in a new product, a new idca or a new
enterprise. Last fal] Congress gave the
President sweeping powers over restric-
and export tariff, so that the
U.S. might successfully compete with the
Common Market; this year and next, we
are promised major tax reforms and те-
ductions aimed at putting more enter-
prise back in our free enterprise system.
Truly dramatic evidence of the rela-
e strengths in the two economic sys-
tems can be seen in East and West
Berlin today. The contrast between the
two halves of this once whole city — one
rebuilding since War's end under a
democratic free economy and the other
under a totalitarian Communist regime
— says more than any economic theorist
or political philosopher ever could. And.
the Wall, with East Berliners risking
death to scramble over and under it to
West Berlin and freedom, says more
about the social worth of the two systems
than any words could, too.

Fidel Castro has all but destroyed the
Cuban economy with his brand of Com-
munist socialism. And while Red China
falters and fails in its attempt to dupli-
cate with communism what America
achieved through capitalism, Japan has
moved ahead to unprecedented wealth
since the end of the Second World War
by patterning its economy directly after
the United States. As the limitations of
communism become clearer, Russia has
been subtly changing her own economic
system, supplying capitalist incentives as

required. But Russia remains a totali-
state and suffers the inherent
s of all dictatorships: no nation

if it never again loses sight, as a nation,
of the fundamental faith in itself, be-
lief in its uncommon citizens and in [re
dom and the free enterprise system that
made it great in the beginning.

‘The entire world is presently benefit-
ing from the competition between the
U.S. and Russia in our "race for sj >

plishments of the other. Without this
ternational competitive enterprise, man
might well be waiting another genera-

The NODL (National Office of Decent

“disapproved” paperback books and
magazines that is supposed to be a guide
for Catholic youth, but the list was oftei
used as a weapon of censorship instead,
until various magazines and newspapers
began to cry out against the practice.

In an editorial entitled “The Harm
Good People Do," in its October 1956
issue, Harper's Magazine stated: “A little
band of Catholics is now conducting a
shocking attack on the rights of their
fellow citizens. They are engaged in an

American activity which is as flagrant

as anything the Communist party ever
attempted —and which is, in fact, very

calls itself the National Ofhce of De-

is to make it impossible for anybody to
buy books and other publications which
it docs not like. Among them are the
works of some of the most distinguished
authors now alive — for example, win-
ners of the Nobel Prize, the Pulitzer
Prize and the National Book Award.”

Without intending to. a Post of the
Catholic War Veterans in Hartford, Con-
necticut. underlined. the similarity be-
ıween their tactics and those of the
Communists in a letter to book dealers
in thcir community aiming to suppress,
through the threat of boycott, certain
publications they considered undesira-
ble. The letter was accompanied by
the NODL list of “disapproved” pub-
lications and it quoted the Chinese Com-
munists who had been conducting а
campaign of their own against "dis-
approved" literature: “ "These books and
pictures seriously harm those workers
who by constantly looking at them can
easily become degenerate in their think-
ing, cautions the Peking Worker's
Daily as quoted by Newsweek magazine,
January 23, 1956. We have to hand it to

ionwide camps
graphic tra: . . Should not this ex-
ample provoke a similar literary cleanup
in our land where the morality of our
actions is gauged by service to God and
not to an atheistic state?’

The NODL black , which has
cluded books by Ernest Hemingway, Wil-
liam Faulkner, John Dos Passos, George
Orwell, John O'Hara, Emile Zola, Ат-
thur Koestler and Joyce Cary, docs not
represent the attitude of all Catholics,
of course, and the list has been used by
а number of non Catholic censorship
groups as well.

Father John Courtney Murray, S.
professor of moral theology at Wood-
stock College, Maryland, warned against
such practices and in an address оп
“Literature and Censorship” said, in
part: “No minority group has the right
to impose its own religious or moral
views on other groups, through the use

of methods of force, coercion or vio-
lence.”

Dean Joseph O'Meara of the Notre
Dame Law School expressed it like this:
“Unfortunately many sincere people do
not comprehend the genius of our de-
mocracy . . - such people would deny
free speech to those with whom they are
in fundamental disagreement. . . . They
would establish a party line in America
— their party line, of course. This is an
alien concept, totalitarian concept: it
it not consonant with the American tra-
dition; it antidemocratic; it is, in
short, subversive and it should be recog-
nized for what it is.”

And another eminent Catholic, Presi-
dent John F. Kennedy, then a Senator
from Massachusetts, summed up the
matter in these prophetic words: “The
lock on the door of the legislature, the
parliament or the assembly hall by
order of the King, the Commissar, or the
ihrer, has historically been followed or
preceded by a lock on the door of the
primers, the publishe: or the book-
seller's."
Censors wither before such criticism

its intended function: issuing a list by
Catholics for their fellow Catholics to
consult as а guide to reading — if. they
wish.

The would-be censor in any cor

qualified for such a job and this їх prob-

bly because real knowledge of a subject
and an interest in suppressing it do not

often go hand hand. Even if the
censor had the necessary insight, it would

not justify the forcing of his own particu-
la stes and interests onto the rest of
society, but most often it is
ter of dragging down the
interests of the community to a dec idedly
lower level. Far more energy is expended
for example, in attempts to suppress ар-
peals to the normally heterosexual than
to the somewhat more subtle offerings to

PART I of a new novelette
By P.G. WODEHOUSE

IT IS NO SECRET IN THE CIRCLES in which he moves that
Bertram Wooster, though as fizzy as one could wish
when night has fallen and the revels get under way,
is seldom a ball of fire at the breakfast table. Con-
fronted with the kippered herrings or the e. and
bacon, he tends to pick cautiously at them, as if afraid
they may leap from the plate and snap at him. List-
Jess, about sums it up. Not much bounce to the ounce.

But this morning vastly different conditions had
prevailed, and I'll tell you why. Jeeves was back.
Her butler having come down with an ailment of
some sort, my Aunt Dahlia had borrowed him for a
house party she was throwing at Brinkley Court, her
Worcestershire residence, and he had been away for
more than а week. Jeeves, of course, is a gentleman's
gentleman, not a butler, but he can, if the call comes,
buttle with the best of them. It's in the blood. His
Uncle Charlie is a butler, and no doubt he has picked
up many a hint on technique from him.

"How did everything go off at Brinkley, Jeeves?”
I asked when he came in to remove the debris. “Joy
unconfined, and all that sort of thing?”

“To a certain extent, sir.”

“Only to a certain extent?”

“The demeanor of Mr. Travers cast something of a
gloom on the proceedings. He was low-spirited. I
received the impression that the society of Sir Watkyn
Bassett made him despondent.”

“Good Lord! Was old Bassett there? He and
Uncle Tom hate each other's insides. You astound
me, Jeeves.”

“Т, too, must confess to a certain surprise at seeing
the gentleman as Mr. Travers’ guest, sir, but no
doubt Mrs. Travers felt it incumbent upon her to
return his hospitality. You will recollect that it is not
long since that Sir Watkyn entertained Mrs. Travers
and yourself at Totleigh Towers.”

I winced. He had touched an exposed nerve. There
was some cold coffee left in the pot, and I took a sip
of it to restore my equanimity.

“The word ‘entertained’ is not well chosen, Jeeves.
If locking a fellow in his bedroom, practically with
gyves upon his wrists, and stationing the local police

end of a knotted sheet is your idea of en-
tertaining, it isn't mine, not by a jugful."

1 don't know how well up you are in
the Wooster archives, but if you have
delved into them to any extent, you may
possibly recall the sinister affair of Sir
Watkyn Bassett and my visit to Totleigh
"Towers, his rural lair, He and my Uncle
Tom are both collectors of what are
called objets d’art, and on one occasion
he pinched a silver cow-creamer from the
latter, which led to Aunt Dahlia and self
going to Totleigh to pinch it back, an
enterprise which so nearly landed me in
the jug that when reminded of that
house of horror I never fail to quiver
like an aspen, if aspens are the things
Im thinking of.

“Do you ever have nightmares, Jeeves?”

“Not frequently, sir.”

“Nor me. But when I do, the setup is
always the same. Г am back at Totlcigh
Towers with Sir Watkyn Bassett, his
daughter Madeline, Roderick Spode,
Suffy Byng, Gussie Fink-Nottle and the
dog Bartholomew, all doing their stuff,
and I wake, if you will pardon the ex-
pression, sweating at every pore. Those
were the times that . . . what, Jeeves?”

“Tried men's souls, sir.“

“They certainly were — in spades. So
Pop Bassett was at Brinkley, was he?
"Who else were among those present?"

“Miss Bassett, sir, Miss Byng, Mr. Fink-
Коше and Miss Byng’s little dog.”

“Gosh! The whole gang. Not Spode?”

“No, sir. He remained at Totleigh
Towers. Apparently no invitation had
been extended to his lordship."

“Whose lordship?”

“Mr. Spode, if you recall, recently suc-
ceeded to the title of Baron Sidcup.”

“So he did, didn't he? I'd forgotten.
But Sidcup ог no Sidcup, to me he will
always be Spode. There's a bad guy,

Jeeves.”

“1 wouldn't want him in my orbit
again.”

“No, sir."

“Nor any of them, except Gussie. 1
don't mind Gussie. He looks like a fish
surprised while bathing and keeps newts,
but one condones that sort of thing in
an old schoolfellow. How was Gussie?
Pretty bobbish?”

“No, sir. Mr. Fink-Nottle, too, struck
ше as low-spirited.

been. Still, that's what you have to ex-
pect if you go i g Sir Watkyn Bas

lunch at the 1 said, and went off
to climb into the morning costume of the

s2 English gentleman. And somewhat later,

the upholstery donned and the outer
crust in order, 1 was about to leave, when
1 heard Jeeves give that soft cough of
his and, turning, saw in his eye the aunt-
like gleam which always means that he
disapproved of something. And when he
said in a soupy tone of voice, "Pardon
me, sir, but are you proposing to enter
the Ritz Hotel in that hat?” E knew that
a shadow had fallen on what had been
a day of joyous reunion and that the
time had come to be firm.

It was a blue Alpine hat with a pink
feather in it, and 1 was prepared to con-
cede that it would have been more suit-
able for rural wear, but against this had
to be set the fact that it unquestionably
lent a diablerie to my appearance, and
mine is an appearance that needs all the
diablerie it can get. In my voice, there-
fore, as I replied, there was а touch of
steel.

“Yes, Jeeves, that, in a nutshell, is
what 1 am proposing to do. Don't you
like this hat?”

N said rather cleverly, and
went out with it tilted just that merest
shade over the left eye which makes all
the difference.

The Emerald Stoker with whom 1 was
about to put on the nose-bag was the
younger sister of an American girl named
Pauline Stoker, with whom I have always
been on matey terms. Quite natural,
therefore, that when Emerald came to
London to study painting at the Slade,
Pauline S. should have told me to keep
an eye on her and see from time to time
that she got her calories.

Nor was it any hardship on me to do
this, for 1 liked the popsy. She was one
of those nice motherly sympathetic girls
you can take your troubles to, confident
of having your hand held and your head
patted. Not having any troubles at the
moment, 1 merely plied her with food-
stuffs and asked if she would care to
come to the theater on the following
night, I having a couple of tickets for
a wellspoken-of musical.

And what do you think she said?

"I'm sorry,” she said. "I cant Im
going to the country this afternoon to
stay with some people called Bassett .

J started visibly.

“They live in Gloucestershire at a
place called

“Tolleigh Towers?”

She started visibly, making two visible
starts in all.

“Do you know them? Well, that’s fine.
You can tell me all about them.”

“Why, don't you know them?”

“Тус only met the daughter. What are
the rest of them like?”

“The personnel of the leper colony
under advisement,” I said, "consists of
Sir Watkyn Bassett, his daughter Made-

line, his niece Stephanie Byng and Stiffy
Byngs Aberdecn terrier, Bartholomew,
the last of whom you would do well to
watch closely if he gets anywhere near
your ankles, for he biteth like a serpent
and stingeth like an adder. So you've met.
Madeline Bassett? What did you think
of her?”

"Is she a great friend of yours?”

"Far from it.”

“Well, I think she’s a drip.”

"She's engaged to a friend of mine,
Gussie Fink-Nottle.”

“Mr. Fink-Nottle? Well, I'll be darned.
I know him. I met him at а studio party,
and we talked for ever so long. 1 thought
he was a lamb.”

“You mean a fish.”

"I don't mean а fish.

“He looks like a fish.”

“He docs not.”

“Well, have it your own way,” 1 said
tolerantly, knowing it was futile to at-
tempt to reason with a girl who had
seen Gussie Fink-Nottle and didn't think
he looked like a fish.

She gave me the impression, when we
parted, of being а bit pensive, and I
wasn’t feeling too unpensive myself.
"There's а touch of the superstitious in
my makeup, and the way the Bassett
ménage seemed to be rearing its ugly
head, if you know what I mean, struck

me as sinister. 1 had а... what's the
word? . . begins with a P. . . pre
something . . presentiment, that's the

baby . . . I had a presentiment that
peril loomed and that I was being
warned, possibly by my guardian angel,
that Totlcigh Towers was coming back
into my life and that I would be well
advised to watch my step and keep an
eye skinned.

It was consequently a somewhat
thoughtful Bertram Wooster who half
an hour later sat toying with a stoup of
malvoisie in the smoking room of the
Droncs Club. And about five minutcs
after J had taken the first sip the smok
ing room waiter slid to my side and
told me a gentleman stood without,
asking to have speech with me. A cleri-
cal gentleman named Pinker, he said,
and I gave another of my visible starts,
the presentiment stronger on the wing
than ever.

It was not that I didn't love the Rev.
Н.Р. (“Stinker”) Pinker like a brother.
We were up at Oxford together, and
our relations have always been on David
and Jonathan lines. But while techni-
cally not a resident of Totlcigh Towers,
he was near enough to it to make this
sudden popping-up of his deepen the
feeling of impending doom. He cams
his coffee and cakes helping the vicar
vet the souls of the local yokels in the
neighboring hamlet of Totlcigh-in-the-
Wold, and he's engaged to be married
to Stiffy Byng. Jt seemed to me that it

only needed Sir Watkyn Bassett, Made-
line Bassett, Roderick Spode, Stiffy and
the dog Bartholomew to saunter up arm
in arm and I would have a full hand.

“Bung him in,” I said, dully, and in
due season he lumbered across the
threshold and, advancing with out-
stretched hand, tripped over bis feet
and upset a small table, his invariable
practice when moving from spot to spot
in a room where there's furniture.

Which was odd, when you came to
think of it, because after representing
Oxford for four years and England for
six on the football field, he still turns
out for the Harlequins when he can get
a Saturday off from saving souls, and
when footballing is as steady on his
pins as a hart or roe or whatever the
animals arc that don't trip over their
feet and upset things. I've seen him a
couple of times in the arena, and was
greatly impressed by his virtuosity. Like
the Canadian Mounted Police, he always
got his man, and when he got him the
air was vibrant with the voices of mor-
ticians in the audience making bids
for the body.

His years of Rugby football will no.
doubt prove an excellent preparation
for setting up house with Stiffy. After
having had playmates do a Shuffle Off
to Buffalo on his face with cleated boots
Saturday after Saturday since he was so
high, 1 take it that a fellow gets to fear
nothing, not even marriage with a girl
like 5. Byng, who from early childhood
has seldom let a day pass without start-
ing some loony enterprise calculated to
bleach the hair of one and all.

He took a seat and said he was glad
to have caught me.

“1 thought I'd find you at the Drones,
Bertie. I came to town to attend a Har-
lequins committee mecting.”

“And how were they all?"

“Oh, fine.”

“That's good. I've been worrying my-
self sick about the Harlequins commit-
кес. Well, Stinker, what's new? Has old
Bassett given you that vicarage yet?”

“No, not yet. He doesn't seem able to
make up his mind. One day he says he
will, the next day he says he’s not sure,
he'll have to think it over.”

1 frowned. I disapproved of this in-
and-out running. 1 could sce how it must
be throwing a spanner into Stinker's
whole foreign policy. He can't marry
Stilly on a curate's stipend, so they've got
to wait till Pop Bassett gives him a vicar-
age which he has in his gift. And while
1 personally, though fond of the young
gumboil, would run a mile in tight shoes
to avoid marriage with her, I knew him
to be strongly in favor of signing her up.

“Something always happens to put
him off. I think he was about ready to

close the deal before he went to stay
with your uncle at Brinkley, but most
unfortunately 1 bumped into a valuable
vase of his and broke it. It seemed
to rankle rather.”

1 heaved a sigh.

"You move in a mysterious way your
wonders to perform, Stinker. 1 believe
you would bump into something if you
were crossing the Gobi Desert.”

"Well, don't go. It isn't safe. I suppose
Stifly's sore about this . . . what's the
word . .. not Vaseline . . . vacillation,
that's it. She chafes at this vacillation on
Bassctt’s part and resents him letting
‘I dare not’ wait upon ‘1 would, like
the poor cat in the adage. Not my own,
that, by the way. Jeeves’. Pretty steamed
up, I should imagine, Д

"She is rather. And, Bertie, talking of
Stifly . .

He broke off, and 1 eyed him nar-
rowly.

"What's the matter, Stinker? Your
manner is strange. You remind me of a
faithful dog looking up into its proprie-
tors face as if it were trying to tell
him something. Are you trying to tell
me something?"

He swallowed once or twice, and his
color deepened, which took a bit of do-
ing, for even when not embarrassed he
always looks like a clerical beetroot.
"Then it came out with a rush.

"Bertie, Stiffy wants you to come to
Totleigh.”

I stared at the man, amazed. I could

“But, my good Stinker, what chance
is there of Pop Bassett inviting me to
Totleigh?”

“Madeline would invite you, if you
sent her a wire.”

"And in the second place, 1 know
Stiffy. A charming girl, but one who is
а coss between a ticking bomb and a
poltergeist. When she gets going on one
of those loony schemes of hers, human
life is not safe in her vicinity. Did she
tell you what it was she wants me to do?”

“No. I asked her, of course, but she
she would rather keep it under her
hat till she saw you.”

“She won't see me.”

"You won't come to Totleigh?”

“Not within 50 miles of it.”

“She'll be terribly disappointed.”

“She'll probably cry."

tem. Ask any well-known Harley Street

1 suppose he saw that my iron front
was not to be shaken, for he rose, said
goodbye, knocked over the glass from
which I had been refreshing myself,
and withdrew.

Knowing how loath Bertram Wooster
always is to let a pal down, you are
probably thinking that this painful
scene had left me shaken, but as а matter
of fact it had bucked me up quite
considerably. My guardian angel had
been hinting that Totlcigh Towers was
threatening to re-enter my life, and ob-
viously what the g.a. had had in mind
was this summons to go there, he fecling
that in a weak moment I might consent.
The peril was now past. Totleigh Том-
ers had made its spring and missed by
a mile, and I no longer had anything
to worry about. It was with а light heart
that I joined a group of pleasure-seckers
who were playing darts and cleaned
them up good and proper. Three o'clock
was approaching when 1 left the club en
route for home, and it must have been
about 3:20 when I hove to alongside the
apartment house where I have my abode.

There was a cab standing outside, laden
with luggage. From its window Gussie
Fink-Nottle’s head was protruding, and
1 thought how mistaken Emerald Stoker
had been about his appearance. I could
detect a trace of the lamb, but if he
hadn't been wearing horn-rimmed spec-
tacles, ] might have supposed myself to
be gazing on a halibut AWOL from a
fishmonger's slab.

“Oh, hullo, Bertie, he said. “I’m just
off to Toueigh. 1 looked in to tell you
your aunt told me to tell you that she
may be coming to London next week,
and she wants you to give her lunch.”

“Lt shall be attended to. Come in and
have a drink.”

“I can't. I shall miss my train.”

"What train are you catching?"

“The four o'dock at Paddington.”

"You'll meet a friend of yours on it.
Emerald Stoker.”

“Stoker? Stoker? Emerald Stoker?”

“You met her at a cocktail party the

lide like a Pekingese.”

"Of course, yes. Now I've placed her.
One never hears names at a cocktail
party. A most delightful girl. We had
а long talk about newts. She tells me
she used to keep them herself when
a child in America, only she called them
guppies. 1 don't know when I've met
a more attractive girl.”

"Except, of course, Madeline.”

His face darkened. He looked lil

remark from another halibut.

Wanderlust, Las Vegas’ fanciest and
newest hotel, had offered him drinks on
the house half-a-dozen times at least.
The hotel could well afford buying him
a drink to keep him where he was.

But he was not drinking; he was only
losing. Losers are, by profession, doubt-
ers, This was Las Vegas and the Wander-
lust was a brand-new hotel and the
dealers’ faces were not familiar.

The dealer gave Rafferty two fives.
He himself had a six showing. Rafferty
had bet $40. He put eight more five-
dollar chips on the line to double his
bet and took one card face down. He
sneaked a look under the corner: a
queen. Rafferty had 20 going for him.

The dealer turned up his down card:
a seven. Now he had 13. Then, an ace.
Fourteen. He hit himself again: a two.
Sixteen. He hit himself for the last time.
A five. Twenty-one. His practiced side-
hand motion swept away all of Rallerty's

THOSE AMERICAN VIRGINS (continued from page 58)

Holland, the Knights of Malta and — un-
til 1917 — Denmark. It was the Danes who
got them their first professional assign-
ment, outright sale to the United States
for $25,000,000, a real estate transaction
which paid off a great deal more magnifi-
cently than might have been anticipated
at the time (the sum being less than the
annual take from tourism today).

The American Virgins (St. Thomas,
St. Croix and St. John — which are about
as virginal as their names are feminine)
are some 40 miles east of Puerto Rico at
the northern end of that chain of islands
Known as the Lesser Antilles.

(You can sail from any of the Ameri-
сап Vi 5 to some 30-odd other non-
American Virgins which make up the
group, and which range in sire from
mere rocks in the sca on up to largish
islands like Britain's Tortola, without
ever being out of sight of land: except
for a couple of slightly longer passages,
you can go on down the chain of Lee-
ward and Windward Islands to Port of
Spain and the Venezuelan mainland.
Most of these islands are uninhabited,
those which are inhabited are very
sparsely so, and virtually every one of
them offers perfect anchorages in lovely,
sheltered coves and harbors — complete
with sandy beaches and driftwood — on
their Jee shores. It is not the fastest way
to travel, but it's one of the best.)

The islands of St. Thomas, St. Croix
and St. John have been noted for their
contrasts. They have also been called, at
one time or another, by travelog com-
mentators and guidebook wri
jewels and pearls — descri
are apt though trite. Beautiful though
they are, all three suffer from the same
problem: a lack of wells and rain and a
consequent paucity of fresh water for
drinking and bathing. As compensation,
they offer superlative aquatic sport in
incredibly pellucid water, innumerable
beaches of pure white sand almost as fine
as talc, and booze at prices calculated to
drive the W.C. T.U. to mass suicide: Haig
& Haig Pinch, $4 Teachers, $2.50;
House of Lords Gin, $1.50; Gordon's or
Gilbeys, $1.25; Seagram's М.О. and
Canadian Club, $2.25; cognacs ranging
from $2.95 for Hennessy or Courvoisier
to Martel Cordon Bleu for $6.95 — and
as for rums, you can have your choice of
the fine Virgin Islands’ finest for approx-
imately a dollar a bottle.

The Virgin Islands being among the
oldest free ports in the hemisphere,
watches, perfume, cameras and brand-
name silver may be purchased at com-
parably delectable prices: about half the
mainland prices, no tax, no green stamps.
On the other hand, a head of lettuce
costs almost as much as a bottle of rum —
the water shortage again; it takes a lot
of water to grow a head of lettuce. How-

ever, the Virgins offer additional com-
pensations: you can knock 10 percent off
the price of booze if you buy a cast of
12; and — for complicated reasons which
suggest Uncle Sam is not as finty hearted
as he may seem at tax time — the world-
wide $100 duty-free import limitation is
doubled for the Virgins, and you may
mail to the States articles valued under
$10 duty free, as many as you wish, You
may also buy most brands of cigarettes
at $1.25 a carton — no duty, no limit on
quantity. It has been truly observed that
in the Virgin Islands luxuries are cheap
and necessities expensive.

Unless you have the time and the tem-
perament to go by boat, you'll prefer to
occupy as little of your vacation time as
possible en route to the Virgins. It isa re
markably fast plane trip from the east-
ern half of the United States. From New
York, for example, you can take an East-
ern flight to Miami in about two and a
half hours, and from Chicago, about 15
minutes more. Or, if you're leaving from
New York, you can fly Pan American
direct to San Juan, Puerto Rico, taking
about an hour longer. Delta will get you
to San Juan from major airports in the
South. Miami to San Juan is їмо hours
plus a handful of minutes—and once
you are in San Juan, it's а mere 40-mile
shuttle run on Caribair to St. Thomas,
probably the best of the Virgins on
which to start your vacation. Incidentally,
you'll want to pack light so that you
won't be worrying about the 60-pound
overseas flight weight limit when you
return with your free port booty. An-
other good reason to keep your gear to
a minimum is that part of the tangible
benefits of visiting the Virgins are the
great tropical wearables you can purchase
from all over the world, at tax-free and
free port prices, from such estimable
haberdasheries as Redficlds on Charlotte
Amalie's waterfront. Not incidentally,
once you get through the usual airport
miseries, the first-class flights out of New
York and Chicago are the end in syba-
ritic luxury: you are plied with drinks,
canapés and hors d'ocuvres served with
cornucopian profusion to make the time
—as well as the ground beneath — fly by
at jet speed.

"The reason for St. Thomas being our
own first choice was that we knew from
experience the difficulty of making a too
rapid transition from the urban hurly-
burl to indolent beachcomber. St.
Thomas is cosmopolitan and lively
enough to make the switch a pleasure
from the very beginning.

You can see all of the island from the
air as you commence your descent for a
landing. St. Thomas is 13 miles long,
less than three miles wide —with the
Atlantic on the north and the bbean
оп the south — and comprises 32 square

miles of picture-postcard tropical ver-
dure, with steep and rugged hills ringed
by dozens of superlative bays and beaches.
If it is daylight when you arrive — and it
should be, since the view from the Is
magnificent — you will notice that, small
though the island is, its coasts olfer op-
posite natural attractions: on the north
side of the island cliffs and mountains
descend precipitously to ocean surf, ex-
cept for the reef-protected bays which
scallop that coast with their tranquil
water and pebble-free beaches ої pure
white sand, The south shore is less
rugged, has no surf whatever on its many
magnificent beaches, and is far more
heavily inhabited. Here is where your
planc comcs in and where you get your
first whiff of the constant wash of flower-
scented trade winds which keep you
comfortable at average year-round tem-
peratures that range from 77 in the win
ter to 82 in the summer. (Commissioner
Henry L. Kimelman, erstwhile hotelman,
now head of the Virgin Islands’ Depart-
ment of Commerce, wrote to us before
our departure for the Islands that he had
instituted free insurance policies for
winter visitors that guarantee no charge
for accommodations on any day when the
mean temperature drops below 70 de-
grees. It wasn't until we met him that he
revealed the smallness of the risk en-
tailed; it's been 24 years since that hap-
pened.) During your stay in the Virgins
you will learn to thank the trade winds,
too, for the sparkling clarity of the air,
their cooling benevolence at the height
of midday heat, the fact that you'll want
a light blanket to sleep under most
nights when you don't stay up reveling,
and the wonderful sailing the island
waters provide.

It's our firm recommendation that the
car you rent at the airport — and you
should rent a car, even if you're staying
right in the town of Charlotte Amalie
(the only community of consequence on
the island and capital city of the Virgins)
— should be either the candy-striped jeep
which is rapidly becoming a Carib-
bean-resort trademark, or an out-and-out
sports car. We've never been anywhere
north of the equator in this hemisphere
where the hills are steeper, the corners
tighter, or the driving as exhilarating;
Stirling Moss in a pixie humor and a
designer of roller coasters might have
Jaid out the obstacle course which is the
island's roads. With all their tortuous-
ness, however, their major hazard may
well be the fascination of the fantastic
views that unfold around each bend.

It is right at the airport that you'll
become aware of one virtue of the
Islands’ being American possessions. We
do not believe it is evidence of insularity
or provincialism to relish the easeful
pleasures of one’s accustomed language,

BEYOND GRAVITY

AN ARRESTING INQUIRY INTO THE LIMITS OF THE
POSSIBLE: CHARTING THE DISTANT PATH TO
LEVITATION ARTICLE BY ARTHUR C. CLARKE

OF ALL THE NATURAL FORCES, gravity is the most mysterious and the most implacable. It controls our lives
from birth to death, killing or maiming us if we make the slightest slip. No wonder that, conscious of
their earth-bound slavery, men have always looked wistfully at birds and clouds, and have pictured the sky
as the abode of the gods. The very phrase “heavenly being” implies a freedom from gravity which, until
the present, we have known only in our dreams.

There have been many explanations of those dreams — some psychologists try to find their origin in
our assumed arboreal past — though it is unlikely that many of our direct ancestors ever spent their lives
jumping from tree to tree. One could argue just as convincingly that the familiar levitation dream is not
a memory from the past, but a premonition of the future. Some day weightlessness or reduced gravity will
be a common, and perhaps even a normal, state of mankind. The day may come when there are more
people living on space stations and worlds of low gravity than on this planet; indeed, when the ultimate
history of the human race is written, the estimated 100 billion men who have already spent laborious lives
struggling against gravitation may turn out to be a tiny minority. Perhaps our spacefaring descendants
will be as little concerned with gravity as were our remote ancestors who floated effortlessly in the
buoyant sea.

Even now, most of the creatures on this planet are hardly aware that gravity exists. Though it
dominates the lives of large land animals such as elephants, horses, men and dogs, it is seldom more than
a mild inconvenience to anything much smaller than a mouse. To the insects it is not even that; flies
and mosquitoes are so light and fragile that the air itself buoys them up, and gravity bothers them no more
than it does a fish.

But it bothers us a great deal, especially now that we are making determined efforts to escape from it.
Quite apart from our current interest in space flight, the problem of gravitation has always worried
physicists. It seems to stand completely apart from all the other forces — light, heat, electricity, magnetism
—which can be generated in many different ways and are freely interconvertible. Indeed, most of modern
technology is based upon such conversions — of heat into electricity, electricity into light, and so on.

Yet we cannot generate gravity at all, and it appears completely indifferent to all the influences that
we may bring to bear on it. As far as we know, the only way a gravitational field can be produced is by the
presence of matter. Every particle of matter has an attraction for every other particle of matter in the
universe, and the sum total of those attractions, in any one spot, is the local gravity. Naturally, this varies
from world to world, since some planets contain large amounts of matter and others very little. In our
solar system the four giant planets — Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune — all have surface gravities
greater than Earth’s, two-and-a-half times greater in the case of Jupiter. At the other extreme, there are
moons and asteroids where gravity is so low that one would have to look hard at a falling object for the
first few seconds to see that it was moving.

Gravitation is an incredibly, almost unimaginably, weak force. This may seem to contradict both
common sense and everyday experience, yet when we consider the statement it is obviously true. Really
gigantic quantities of matter — the 6000 million million million tons of the (continued on page 80)

A LUSCIOUS CALIFORNIA LASS
BECOMES OUR VALENTINE PLAYMATE

THE BEST ANTIDOTE we know for February's wintry
blues is a lot of sun shining on a lot of girl — which we
herewith offer in the fine form of Toni Ann Thomas, our
February Playmate. A tempting 18 years of age, titian-
haired Toni Ann is passing through an appealingly un-
predictable stage in her young life: at times she is
tomboyishly exuberant and given to wild backyard romps
with her two kid brothers; at other times she can, through
the alchemy of perfume and peignoir, suddenly transform
herself into a delicate charmer with womanly poise. Born
and bred in California, Toni Ann lives alone in West
Covina in a small, neat apartment furnished in Swedish
modem. Her bedroom contains one rarely used TV set
(“It bores me to tears”), some 20 stuffed animals of un-
certain lineage, and three widely scattered alarm clocks,
which most of the time succeed in awakening her for her
job as a switchboard operator with a local insurance com-
pany. (A recent graduate of Los Angeles’ Washington

GOLDEN
GIRL

High, Miss February first worked as one of Міс Tanny's
more spectacular — 38-22-36 — instructresses before switch-
ing to the switchboard.) In her spare time, she likes read-
ing short stories with happy endings and being escorted
to movie houses featuring light comedies and exciting
whodunits. Toni Ann is still girl enough to squeal at
football games (she roots passionately for Southern Cal),
stuff herself on Mexican and Italian dishes, and leap in
the air when she bowls one of her rare strikes. At the same
time, she views her life and the men therein with a level-
headed maturity: “My favorite kind of guy is one who is
unpretentious and who cares as much about what I think
as how 1 look. The fellows 1 really turn off are the
phonies — the ones who are fascinated by themselves and
want to take me places only as some kind of ornament
for their own egos. Also, Im not too fond of the sly
types that keep saying they can help me get ahead in show
business, I don’t want to be an actress, and I'm not par-
ticularly interested in being a model. ГА much prefer
marrying a nice guy and raising a big family.” Blessed
with sultry features and a lushly proportioned 5'5", 120-
pound body, Toni Ann naturally draws masculine double
takes wherever she goes. “I guess there’s no point in fight-
ing nature,” she smiles. “I used to be self-conscious. Now,
frankly, I enjoy it. You might say it’s part of growing up.”
As proof that Toni Ann has indeed grown up, we refer
you to the accompanying photographs of our fun-loving
Miss February, a Playmate of whom it clearly can be
said: Thank heaven for notso little girls.

The king had arranged a regal marriage for
his daughter — a bond that would unite two
great nations. Yet, because the young couple
seemed so terribly formal to each other, the
old monarch was worried that the union would
not be a success. Posting a spy outside the royal
bridal chamber, he demanded a full account of

the wedding night's progress.

“It is hard to tell,” said the King's spy the
next morning. "When the prince entered the
chamber, I heard the princess say, quite for-
mally, ‘I offer you my honor.’ Then the prince
said, with equal courtliness, ‘Madame, I honor
your offer.’ And that is the way it went all
night long — honor, offer, honor, offer.”

BEYOND GRAVITY (continued from page 71)

Earth — are required to produce thc
rather modest gravity field in which we
live. We can generate magnetic or elec
tic forces hundreds of times more
powerful with a few pounds of iron or
copper. When you lift a piece of iron
with a simple horseshoe magnet, the
amount of metal the magnet contains
is outpulling the whole Earth. The ex-
treme weakness of gravitational forces
makes our total inability to control or
modify them all the more puzzling and
exasperating.

From time to ume, one hears rumors
s are working on the
у control, or antigrav-

ns No competent
scientist, at this stage of our ignorance,
would deliberately set out to look for
a way of overcoming gravity. What a
number of physicists and mathematicians
arc doing, however, is something less
ambitious; they are simply trying to un-
cover basic knowledge about gravity. If
this plodding, fundamental work does
lead to some form of gravity control, that
will be wonderful; but I doubt if m:
people in the field believe that it will.
"The opinion of most scientists is prob-
ably well summed up by a remark made
recently by Dr. John Pierce of the Bell
Telephone Laboratories. “Antigravity,”
“is strictly for the birds" But
the birds don’t need it, and we do.

We still know so little about gravita-
tion that we are not even sure if it travels
through space at a definite speed —
like radio or light waves — or whether
it is "always there." Until the time of
Einstein, scientists thought that the lat
ter was the case, and that gravitation
was propagated instantaneously. Today,
the gencral opinion is that it travels at
the speed of light and that, also like
light, it has some kind of wave structure.

1Е gravi 1 waves do exist, they
will be fantastically dificult to detect,
because they carry very little energy. It
has been calculated that the gravity
waves radiated by the whole Earth have
an energy of about a millionth of a
horsepower, and the total e
the entire solar system — the
the planets — is only half а horsepower.
Any conceivable man-made gravitational-
wave generator would be billions of
billions of times feebler than this.

Nevertheless, attempts are now being
made to produce and detect these waves.
In some of these experiments, it is
planned to use the whole Earth as an
antenna; the waves to be looked for
would have a frequency of only about
one cycle per hour. (Ordinary TV and
radio waves run to tens of п ns of
cycles per second.) Even if these ex-
tremely delicate experiments succeed, it
will be a long time before we can expect

any practical applications from them.
And it may be never.

Yet every few years, some hopeful
ventor builds and actually demonstrates,
at least to his own satisfaction, an anti-
gravity device. These are always labora-
tory models, producing only a very tiny
lift. Some of the machines are electrical,
others purely mechanical, based on what
might be called the bootstrap principle,
and containing unbalanced flywhecls,
cranks, springs and oscillating weights.
“The idea behind these is that action and
reaction may not always be equal and
opposite, and sometimes there may be a
little net force left over in one direction.
"Fhus, though everyone agrees that you
can't lift yourself by а steady pull on
your bootstraps, perhaps a series of prop-
erly timed jerks might have a different
result.

Put this way, the idea scems com-
pletely absurd, but it is not casy to refute
an intelligent and sincere inventor with.
a beautifully made machine containing
dozens of parts, moving in every possible
direction, who maintains that his oscil-
lating contraption produces a net lift
of half an ounce and that a bigger model
could take you to the Moon. You may
be 99.999 percent sure that he is wrong,
yet be quite unable to prove it. If grav-
ity control is ever discovered, it will
surely depend upon much more sophi
cated techniques than mechanical devices
—and it will probably be found as а Бу-
product of work in some completely
unexpected field of physics.

It 15 also probable that we will not
make much progress in understanding
gravity until we are able to isolate our-
selves and our instruments from it, by
establishing laboratories in space. At
tempting to study it on the Earth’s sur-
face is rather like testing hi-fi equipment
in a boiler factory; the effets we are
looking for may be swamped by the
background. Only in a satellite laboi
tory will we be able to investigate the
properties of matter under weightless
conditions.

The reason why objects arc — usually
—weightless in space is one of those
elusive simplicities that is almost invari
ably misunderstood. Many people, mis-
led by careless journalists, are still under
the impression that an astronaut is
weightless because he is beyond the pull
of gravity.

This is completely wrong. Nowhere in
the universe — not even in the remotest
galaxy that appears as а faint smudge on
a Palomar photograph — would опе be
literally beyond the pull of Earth's grav-
ity, though a few million miles away it
almost negligible. It falls off slowl
with distance, and at the modest alti-
tudes reached by human travelers so far,
it is still almost as powerful as at sea

level. When an astronaut looked down
upon the Earth from a height of nearly
200 miles, the gravity field in which he
was moving still had 90 percent of its
normal value. Yet, despite that, he
weighed exactly nothing,

Jf this seems confusing, it is largely
due to poor semantics. The trouble is
that we dwellers on the Earth's surface
have grown accustomed to using the
words gravity and weight almost inter-
changcably. In ordinary terrestrial situa-
tions, this is safe enough; whenever
there's weight there's gravity, and vice
versa. But they are really quite separate
entities, and cither can occur independ-
ently of the other. In space, they nor-
mally do.

On occasion, they can do so on Earth,
as the following experiment will prove.
I suggest you think about it rather than
actually conduct it, but if you are un-
convinced by my logic, go right ahead.

of Galileo, who also refused to accept

admirably) and a bathroom scale. Put the
scale on the trap door and stand on it.
It will, of course, register your weight.

Now, while your eyes arc fixed on the
scale, get one of your acquaintances
(“That's not an office for a friend, my
lord,” as Volumnius said to Brutus on a.
slightly similar occasion) to spring the
trap door. At once the needle will drop
to zero; you will be weightless. But you
will certainly not be beyond the pull of
gravity; you will be 100 percent under
its influence, as you will discover a frac-
tion of a second later.

Why are you weightless in these cir-
cumstances? Well, weight is a force, and
a force cannot be felt if it has no point
of application, if there is nothing for it
to push against. You cannot feel any
force when you push against a freely
swinging door; nor can you feel any
weight when you have no support and
are falling freely. An astronaut, except
when he is firing his rockets, is always
falling freely. The “fall” may be down-
wards or upwards or side,
case of an orbiting satellite, which is
in an eternal fall around the world. The
direction does not matter; as long as the
fall is free and unrestrained, anyone ex-
periencing it will be weightless.

You can be weightless, therefore, even
where there is plenty of gravity. The
reverse is also true: you don't need grav-
ity to give you weight. A change of
speed — in other words, an acceleration
— will do just as well.

To prove this, let us imagine a still
more improbable experiment than the
one just described. Take your bathroom

A LOOK AT THE CURRENT JAZZ
SCENE AND THE WINNERS OF THE
SEVENTH ANNUAL PLAYBOY POLL

jazz By Nat Hentoff

JAZZ IN 1962 continued to accumulate prestige — especially abroad — but the
dues at home became stiffer for many musicians who would have preferred
to alchemize plaudits into cash.

Internationally, hip listeners began to appear in unprecedented places.
In June, for example, the new Russian ambassador to the United States,
Anatoly Dobrynin, expressed reservations about the first official American
jazz tour of the Soviet Union, then under way. He didn’t object to jazz.
He simply thought Benny Goodman somewhat too square.

71 think,” said the ambassador, doubling as a jazz critic, “the lack of
great enthusiasm among our young people at his concerts is because his style

is, well, let us say, dated. Our jazz has
gone onward to what you call the pro-
gressive stage. His remains static, and our
young people are inclined to be restless
with that.

Nonetheless, the six-week Goodman

July was а major jazz event. Despite dis

A much less publicized jazz journey than
Goodman's was a State Department proj-

America by the Paul Winter Sextet. Nearly

time, the 23-year-old Winter is a skillful,

though you were beginning to ques-

“I suppose you could let things

The bouncing chicks here having a

the globe: for example, Cleopatra's
18 handmaidens (chosen from а
shapely shape-up of 350 candidates)
include five Italians, four Amer-
icans, two French and two Swedish
girls, and one winner each from
Indonesia, Greece, Holland, China
and England. The dark beauty in
the black lace lingerie at left, top,
is Marie Devereaux, an English
actress whose remarkable looks-
like-Liz face and figure caused her
to be picked as Miss Taylor’s stand-
in for long and over-the-shoulder
shots. Marie, who has one on-camera
clinch with Richard Burton, is now
in Hollywood hoping for a break

in American productions. To her
right, chatting handmaidens mill
in Cleo’s wig room, part of the
lavish set modeled upon the royal
apartments once occupied by the
Queen and her attractive retinue
of pyramid climbers. Below, every-
thing’s coming up poses as the
handmaidens of the bath mug pret-
tily just before Elizabeth Taylor’s
big tub scene, the film's most
publicized episode. At right, top,
lithe dancers draw scant attention
during rehearsal breaks and, below,
form an attractive navel blockade
prior to the lensing of Cleopatra’s
triumphant entry into Rome and
its attendant sensuous celebration
by the Egyptian dancing girls.

At left, top to bottom: winged
girls form a live monument, Little
Egypts practice, then execute snake
dance in barely sufficient costum-
img, all in honor of Cleo's entry into
Rome. At right, as part of same
celebration, a petal-pitching miss
decorates the procession. The gown
Liz is almost wearing on this and
the opening page was designed for
the film, then later rejected as
drawing too much divided atten-
tion. Each of ‘‘Cleopatra’s” chicks
imbues the film with her own
youthful vitality, a fresh efferves-
cence emanating in part, perhaps,
from each girl’s secret dream that
she may be the chosen heiress to
the throne now occupied by the
most famous beauty of our time.

THERE WAS A CERTAIN SALESMAN who stood
daily at the palace ої King Francis, sell-
ing objects of interest to visitors.
Although he was only 19 y
he was more successful than many
men of twice his years, for he followed
diligently the advice of an clderly asso-
ic who had been in trading all his life.
“Due to the strength and number of
the competition," the elder man had told
him, “it is essential to have an excellent
product, for the discrimir purchaser
will not be satisfied by erchan-
dise. However, it is inadequate to have
an excellent product and nothing more,
for the streets abound with salesmen who

ior

have excellent products. One must also
know how to present this product with
efficacious techniques.”

When the young man had asked his
senior to describe these technique
thereupon received this reply:

ist announce that you have a prod-
uct that will satisfy the purchaser's de-
sires and айога him pleasure. Secondly,
allow him to sample your merchandise
so that he will be aware of its worth.
But you will find that there are individ-
uals who refuse to accept your sample,
These are people who have heard the

now fear your ability to convince them
to buy. When this happens, go to any
length to force diem to accept the за
ple—use y and tickery if
need be — for this is the part of the sale
proces that separ
the apprentice.”

The young man, as we have said, fol-
lowed this advice closely. In fact, his
adherence to it was such that he was so
busy selling his wares that he did not
have time to indulge in the social pleas-
ures available to most men of 19 y

I shall produce the sample accordingly.”

On hearing this, the lady paled
then turned. crimson. In her embarrass-
ment she тап off to join some friends.
But the young salesman proceeded to the
interior of the ace, whi he studied
the organization of rooms and hall

Thus confronted, she surrendered vol-

The prosecution established passion
as the motive for murder. My middle

her chin with absolute disinterest. Her
underg: etching
deeper and deeper into that abundance

It no longer matters how she learned
of Arlene’s existence. The fact remains,
she did learn. І almost welcomed her
initial reactions — explosive threats of
awsuits, the ultimate ultimatums of a
ed Woman. In truth, it was no
than a momentary diversion in
boredom of our uneasy co-
stence. A match Haring up in a dark-
ened room, a gunshot ringing out durin
the third act of a tedious play

The prosecution inevitably referred
to Arlene as my “mistress.” This word
I would quarrel with. True, I did upon
occasion bring her small offerings — a
vial of inexpensive perfume, a movie
magazine, a bouquet of zinnias from
my wife's garden. But “mistress” — that's
a businessman's term. It implies goods
sold and purchased. When a young man
receives the first favors of his beloved,
who among you would be callous enough
to label her “whore”?

Perhaps you still doubt the validity
of our love. Arlene, as the newspapers

silverware, no 80-year mortgages.

We paid the rent when it fell due.
We sat on uncarpeted flooring and fed
each other with our fingers. Arlene's
only jewelry was a thin turquoise rib-
bon knotted at her throat.

Consider, if you will, what this meant
to me. I, like vou, had counted off my

val, the shape of most mas-
culine faces, is compatible
with almost any collar style,
as shown at right, top to bot-
tom: business shirt with medium-spread
snap-tab collar, appropriate in co-
ordination with four-in-hand necktie
knot, Continental or British-influenced
jocket; classic long-pointed buttondown,
best with British or Ivy suit; bold-stripe
shirt with pointed widesprecd collar,
worn with Windsor or four-in-hand
tie knot, Continental or English suit.

AVERAGE OVAL FACE

RECTANGULAR FACE

FROM THE ABUNDANCE of shirt styles
ble on the haberdasherial market

tailored variously with long Point.
short point, round-point, widespread,

medium-spread, buttondown, tab and
pin collars — it behooves the fashion-
wise male to select those styles which
best befit not only his mode of attire
(Ivy. Continental, British) but his shape
of face. A collar style unsuited to his
facial outlines can mar the effect of the
most tasteful tie and suit ensemble;
while the correct collar style for the
contours of his face — and for the pro-
portions of his neck — will handsomely
enhance his appearance with a custom-
tailored Jook.

Those men with oval faces — the ma-
jority—can wear almost any collar
style to advantage, but those with rec-
tangular, round or long faces would
be well advised to stick with styles spe-
cifically designed to complement their
facial features. As a rule — though most
rules of aesthetics are proven by their
exceptions — spread, buttondown and
long-pointed collar styles are those best
suited for rectangular- and round-faced
fellows; the long of the collar
points help to cre npression of
a leaner, longer face. (On men of such
proportions — often endowed also with
short or broad necks — the trim lines of
pin, tab and shortpoint styles would
look incongruous and pinched.) Those
with long necks and slim faces, on the
other hand, acquire the appearance of
a fuller, less angular profile with these
same styles — and with the emergent
high-roll collar with a neckband height
of 114 to 2 inches which effectively
de-emphasizes the length of the neck
by covering part of it

But collar styles can't be judged by
face value alone. The cut of the co-
ordinate suit must share equal weight
in the final selection of an appropriate
style. The traditional buttondown, pin
and snap-tab collars, for example, blend
most naturally with the Iv
houette, while Continental and British-
influenced suits look best with round
and spread-style collars of medium to

regulation length.
‘The choice of necktie knot is а
matter of individual preference, but we

collar styles except the widespread,

both of these knots is diagramed on

Moving south from the collar to in-
dulge in а few choice cuff words: barrel
and French culls are equally acceptable
—according to taste, mood and social
occasion — with every collar style except
buttondown, for which the informality
of the barrel cuff is considered de ті-
gueur. The convertible cuff а barrel
style with a second buttonhole beside
the button for conversion to link wear
—is a dual-purpose convenience best
suited for the wardrobe limitations of
jet travel. Only the French cuff is prop-
erly worn starched, though we prefer a
soft cuff even in a dress shirt both for
comfort and longer-lasting freshnes

shirt for its cuff
or collar style, however, it's wise to
appraise its true quality by scrutinizing
the tailoring with an educated eye.
First. the shirt should be cut full enough
to allow adequate room for movement,
but not so full that it blouses out
Many of the new Ivy League styles are
tailored with tapered bodies for a
trimmer, slimmer fit that docsn't ride
up over the belt. You should also check
the stitching along the collar, culls,
front panels, pockets and shoulders; it
should be smooth and flat, threaded in
single rows, never chain stitched. Assure
yourself well that the stitching
around buttonholes is adequately back-
stitched to minimize fraying

From a material point of view, the
hardy perennials in shirting for business
wear are those two classic cotton:
broadcloth, the popular favorite — a
lustrous, closely woven fabric; and Ox-
lord cloth, the Ivy League pace-setter
—a softtextured, wide-weave fabric.

the collar that imports the

is the one to wear. At right ore three
such styles, top to bottom: business
shirt with modified-sprecd collor, cor-
rect in combination with olive- or
brown-tinted Continental and British-
inspired jackets; trim, short-point but-
tondown, worn with four-in-hand neck-
Ше knot; wide-weove shirt with pin
collar, impeccably cppropricte with
four-in-hond necktie kno!, спу suit style.

for winter or summer wear, increasing
numbers of warm-weather shirts are ap-

ing in the office and on the town in

pea
breezy, featherweight batistes, voiles,
piqués, Pima cottons and Dacron mix-
tures.

While white remains the indisputable
standard in urban shirtwear, muted
shades and patterns both enlarge and
enliven the workday wardrobe in terms
of contrast and co-ordination with the
tones and patterns of suits and ties. The
selection of suitable shirt shades should
be determined by hair color as well as
personal taste: brown-haired men look
best in pale blues, light browns, grays,
greens, yellows and black pinstripes;
brunets in sand tones, azure, olive,
charcoal and pencil-striped reds; blonds
in carth and sky tones lighter than the
suit color; redheads in any hue of blue
or green; and grayhaired men in
muted shades of every tint but tan.

To co-ordinate shirt color tastefully
with tie and suit, simply match tic and
shirt with contrasting suit, shirt and
suit with contrasting tie, or tie and suit
with contrasting shirt. At its subtest,
the art of blending patterned shirts and
patterned ties with imagination as well.
as propriety is largely a matter of per
sonal flair. Quiet contrast is the basic
premise: small-patterned shirt with
large-patterned tie, widestripcd shirt
with narrow striped suit or tie, figured
tic with subdued striped shirt or solid-
color suit, brightfigured shirt or tie
with muted-tone plain suit, etc. As a
harmonizing and unifying counterpoint
for any such combinations, at least one
of the threc wardrobe elements — tie,
shirt or suit — should be an understated
solid color

you might be standing still on the sur-

the actual gravity of the Earth
volved when the weight force is pro-
duced wholly by acceleration, and it is
unfortunate that the same word is used
to describe an elfect which may have two
completely different causes.

The most convenient way of produc-
ing artificial weight is not acceleration
in a straight line — which would quickly
take one over the horizon — but motion
in a circle. As anybody who has ridden
а carrousel knows, wilt circular move-
ment can generate substantial forces;
this was the principle of the cream ѕера-
rators that some of us country boys can
still remember [rom our days оп the
farm. The modern versions of these ma-
chines are the giant centriluges now used

luge, spinning at the unbelievable rate
of 1,500,000 revolutions a second (not a
minute!) produces forces of more than
billion gravities. Here, at any rate, we
have far outdone Nature: it seems most
unlikely that there exist gravitational
fields anywhere in the universe more
than a few hundred thousand times more
powerful than Earth's.

We can imitate

avity, then, but we
cannot control it. Above all, we cannot
cancel or neut е it. True levitation
is still a dream. The only ways in which
we can hover in mid-air are by floating,
with the aid of balloons, or by reaction,
as with airplanes, helicopters, rockets
and jetlift devices. The first method is
limited in scope and demands very large
volumes of expensive or inflammable
gases; the sccond is not only expensive
but exceedingly noisy, and liable to let

like is some пісе, clean way, probably
clcctrical or atomic, of abolishing gravity
at the throw of a switch.

Despite the skepticism of the physi-
cists, there scems no fundamental impos-

it obeys certain well-established natural
laws. The most important of these is the

Cavorite did exist, it could be used as a
nitless source of energy. You could cm-
ploy it to lift a heavy weight — then let
the weight fall again under gravity to do
work. The cycle could be repeated end-
lessly, producing that dream of all motor-
ists —a fuelless engine. This, to everyone
except inventors ої perpetual-motion
machines, is an obvious impossibility.

Though gravity screens of this simple
type can be dismissed, there is nothing
aherently absurd in the idea that there
be substances that possess negative
у. so that they fall upward instead
ıward. From the nature of things,
we would hardly expect to find such
materials on Earth; they would float
around out in space, avoiding the plan-
ets like the plague.

Negative gravity matter should not be

confused with the equally hypothetical
antimatter, whose existence is postulated
by some physicists. This is matter made
up of fundamental particles with electric
charges opposed to those in normal mat-
ter; thus electrons are replaced by posi
trons, and so on. Such a substance would
still fall downward, not upward. in an
ordin, gravitational field: but as soon
as it came into contact with normal
matter, the two masses would annihilate
each other in a burst of energy (аг

the hold of his space jeep with negative-
gravity matter would have а terrible time
getting home. Earth would repel him

if they exist, would have rather a re

On the whole, a permanently degravi-

plausible than the gravity neutralizer or
gravitator. This would be a device, sup-
plied with energy from some external
power source, that would cancel gravity
as long as it was switched on. It is im-
portant to realize that such a machine
would give not only weightlessness, but
something even more valuable — propul-
sion.

For if we neutralized weight exactly,
we would float motionless in mid-air;
but if we overneutralized it, we would
shoot upward with steadily increasin

not only to explore the solar system, but
to protect the state of Florida.

Jt may seem a little premature to
speculate about the uses of a device
which may not even be possible, and is
certainly beyond. the present. horizon of
science. But it is a general rule that,
whenever there is a technical need, some-
thing always comes along to satisfy it—
or to bypass it. For this reason, 1 feel
sure that eventually we will have some
means of either neutralizing gravity or
overpowering it by brute force. In any
event, it will give us both levitation and.
propulsion in amounts determined only
by the ble power.

If antigravity devices turn out to be
bulky and expensive, their use will be
limited to fixed installations and to large
vehicles — perhaps of a size that we have
not yet seen on this planet. Much of the
energy of mankind is expended in mov-
ing vast quantities of oil, coal, ores and
other raw materials from point to point

millions of tons per ycar. Many of the
world's mineral deposits are useless, be-
cause they are inaccessible: perhaps we
may be able to open them up through
the air, by the use of relatively slow-
moving antigravity freighters hauling а
few hundred thousand tons at a time
across the sky.

One can even imagine the bulk move-
ment of freight or raw materials along
gravity pipelines — directed and focused
fields in which objects would be sup-
ported and would move like iron

HE ROLE OF THE RIGHT WING

A DEBATE

A HEAD-ON CLASH OVER AMERICAN POLITICS AND POLICIES TODAY
By NORMAN MAILER and WILLIAM F. BUCKLEY, JR.

Last month we published two opposing essays
written especially for pLaynoy on the role of the
American Right Wing, by two of America’s an-
griest young men, novelist Norman Mailer and
author-editor William F. Buckley, Jr, Ву agree-
ment, each combatant read his essay as his open-
ing statement to a showdown debate, staged by
John Golden Productions, before a tense Chicago
audience. The rapid-fire cross interrogation that
ensued, a bitter ideological duel, appears here.
MODERATOR: АП right, gentlemen. Our watches are
synchronized, The fuse is lit. Let us proceed. Mr.
Buckley, you may ask Mr. Mailer questions for
the next 20 minutes.
BUCKLEY: Mr. Mailer, do you
war? Do you care whether you win it or Jose
MAILER: No, I don't give a damn whether we win ог
lose the cold war.

BUCKLEY: That's what I wanted to know. Now, do
you identify your position of not caring whether
you win or lose the cold w: fairly representa-
tive of the o mol Left America, or is this just
one of your eccentricities?

MAILER: Listen, we can play gangbustcrs, but Га
like to answer you with two or three sentences
stead of one. I don’t care whether or not we win
the cold war because the nation that wins the cold
war may end up being that nation which is most
totalitarian. But I’m interested in protecting and
defending and saving the best things in Western
civilization, which is quite another matter than
the cold war. The two are not at all synonymous.
BUCKLEY: Would you say that the members of the
Left Wing in Cuba would care or not care
whether we win the cold war?

MAIER: Mr. Buckley, I'm perfectly willing to uy
to answer your questions in two or three sen-
tences, but you have to give me some chance to
turn your questions around. I mean, in answer to
your question, it isn't that [ beat my е twice
а day, it's just that I beat her twice on Sunday.
BUCKLEY: Let's stay off that.
MAILER: By the way, Bill, I'm not the least bit mad.
The answer to the question is simply this —1
think any Communist in Cuba naturally wants to
the cold war and that’s exactly what’s wrong
with the cold war.
BUCKLEY: How about an anti-Communist in Cuba?
MAIER: I think that all they want to do is to get
the power back from Castro.
BUCKLEY: You say you were against totalita:
and I'm quite prepared to agree that you arc. I
don’t understand you when you proceed to say
that you don't care who wins the cold war, when
it is clear that the totalitarian forces are primarily
identified with those of the Communists. Were
you for or against the Freedom Fighters in Buda-
pest, or didn’t you care who won the cold war
there?
MAILER: I'm going to give you a formal answer to
that question. I'm an editor of a magazine called
Dissent. We put out a special issue about the
tragedy of that Hungarian Revolution.
BUCKLEY: Then you did care Hungary.
don’t you care?
MAILER: Now look, I want to tell you something,
Bill Buckley. It isn’t a matter of where I care or
who I care; let's talk like reasonable, sensible
politicians. I care about everybody alive on the

the format that you suggested, not that /
suggested. And the rules you suggested
were that I ask questions and you answer
them and then we switch roles.
maner Well, the format has been agreed
to. Now, Bill, let me just say one thing
before we go any further. I'm perfectly
willing to answer any of your questions
but I would like to point out to you and
to the audience that the questions you
address are put on rails, like this! Now
you get your little logical train running
down these rails and then you ask me to

hit by your questions. I'm trying to ta
about the nature of man .
BUCKLEY: I'm willing to say that you're
rendered impotent by a logical question.
But I don't know how to ask unlogica
questions, and 1 simply ask you this .
MAILER: The man calls me impotent and
then complains because I want to answer.
MODERATOR: All right, let's start
Mr. Buckley is а
this moment, and in the appropriate
length of time, Mr. Mailer, you will ask
the questions.
BUCKLEY: We are here, as I understand it
to talk about the real meaning of the
Right Wing. Are you prepared to say
that it is distinctively the Right Wing
that intends and desires to win the cold

MAIER: No, it is not the Right Wing that

wishes to win the cold w: It is the
Right W which wishes to blow up the
carth.

BUCKLEY: Will you reconcile that position
about the Right Wing with the pos
that you argued at

of this time. Why do we want to blow
up our vulgar pleasures?

МАЦЕК: Well, one notion that does occur
to me might be 0 ou work for the
Devil and the Devil wants to destroy the
carth. But if you'll ask a serious question,
ГИ give you a serious answer. You ask
logical question, I'll пу to give a
al answer,

BUCKLEY: Well, 1 will proceed on the
premise that the Right Wing desires to
win the cold war because we desire to
blow ourselves up. This, I take it, is a
fair representation of your position. I
would then ask you the next question.
Why is it that we all desire on the Right
Wing to blow ourselves up? Explain this

maner: All right, now that's a fair ques-
tion. That's the first fair question you've
asked and I've got to have three or four
sentences in which to answer it. Do 1
have them. Bill?

BUCKLEY: Ves.

people on the Right Wing who h

BUCKLEY: Very well, then, the true mean-

I can paraphrase you correctly — is that

in winning it we desire to destroy our

Roman numerals, small Roman numerals
— irs a book by Buckley and Bozell —
there's а sentenc ator McCarthy,
according to [Richard] Rovere, was a
‘cheap politician,’ a ‘guttersnipe,’ а ‘sedi
donist,’ a ‘crook,’ a ‘foul-mouthed bum,"
a ‘mucker,’ a ‘liar,’ a runter, a “screamer,”
‘faker,’ an ‘ogre,’ and a ‘rattlesnake.’
Now, since I'm also a student of Mr.
Richard Rovere's literary style — which
Т also happen to admire — I said to my-
self that it's impossible that Dick Rovere
could have written in these terms about
McCarthy — particularly since I'd read
Rovere’s book, which struck me, because
while it was very critical of McCarthy,
it was the first book I'd ever read by
anyone which made McCarthy come alive
to me, so that I didn’t feel that he was
a monster but perhaps even a tragic man.
So 1 looked up the originals in Mr.
Rovere's book. Now which would you
like for your choice, Mr. Buckley: “cheap
politician," "guttersnipe," “seditionist,”
“crook,” which of them? Should 1 choose
them? The question is this: Im going
to ask you if you think this is
quotation in cach case. “Eisenhower
from the start looked upon McCarthy as
cad, a guttersnipe, and he had planned
а small gesture of defiance and disasso-
cation." Now, that’s not quite the same
as Rovere calling McCarthy а gutte
snipe. Then Rovere calls McCarthy a
“seditionist," according to you. So on
page three of Rovere's book, Senator Joc
McCarthy, we find the sentence is: “No
bolder seditionist ever moved among us,
nor any politician with a surer, swifte
access to the dark places of the Ameri
mind.” Would you like “crook,
mouthed bum," "mucker," "liar
sure you that theyre all equally badly
quoted. You did an injustice in almost
every single case to Mr. Rovere. In
almost every case, Mr. Rovere had a com-
plex sentence and you reduced it to
a simple sentence. Now I'm willing to
go on with this. И you want to hear some
more of them ГЇЇ ask you, but I thought
you told me once that “overkill” is very
bad, so I'm willing to let this go if you
are not willing to defend your sentence.
BUCKLEY: “Underkill very bad, too, Mr.
Mailer. The particular series of pejo-
rative adjectives that were used by Rich-
ard Rovere against Senator McCarthy
were used in the true sense, were re-
peated by me in the presence of Richard
Rovere and however many million people
were watching David Garroway's pro-
gram. He did not object to а mischarac-
terization; on the contrary, L think he
would be highly offended at any sugges-
tion that he did not think McCarthy was
that kind of man.

matter: All right. Now, Mr. Buckley, І
have а very rudimentary sense of logic,
but Id like to try to display it now.
What we have on evidence, and you've
not been able to disprove it, is that you
have taken vast liberties with quotation.

So it is reasonable for me to assume that
you have taken vast libertics with Mr.
Rovere's remarks to you on this tele-
vision program, which I never saw.
BUCKLEY: You realize I feel free to do so,
you having established that I am not
a religious man.

maner: Oh, religious men can be liars,
too, after all. Now I want to end with
just one, and ask if this is fair: You say
Mr. Rovere called McCarthy а “mucker.”
Now listen to this sentence . . . I mean,
you are taking your people in the Right
Wing, they follow you, you're their
leader, you're the best intellectual the
Right Wing has got, in the sense that
you're the only one that can stand on
a platform and talk at all...

BUCKLEY: With you.

MANER: Now you go and tell these kids,
I mean these kids read your book, you
know, McCarthy and His Enemies, is
that the title? Yes. These kids go and
they read your book, and they think
that Rovere said this about McCarthy,
when in fact Rovere said things that were
much more complex about McCarthy.
And it is desperately unfair to give these
Kids the idea that Rovere is a totalitarian
type of writer, when in fact he is directly
the opposite of that. He's a complex
writer who tries by his lights to be fair.
Now you quote him as calling McCarthy
a mucker. Listen to this, page 48: “He
(McCarthy) seemed to understand, as no
other politician of his stature ever has,
the perverse appeal of the bum, the
mucker, the dead-end kid. the James

nd stability and not altogether happy
about the vast leveling process in which

was to show that Mr. McCarthy emu-

have you ever heard of a liberal in the

BUCKLEY: If I answered the question, І

BUCKLEY: It may be that the FBI only

difference between people who say they

BUCKLEY: In the name of states’ rights.
In the name of the idea that the Federal

means a guaranteed solvent for human

the Constitution that says diat we will

would take away states’ rights as quickly
as anyone else would. You might суеп
have to take it away more quickly be-
cause there would be much more agita-
tion against you if you ever had power.
I mean, the one thing about the liberals
is that they do quiet agitation all over
the place. But you guys would arouse all
sorts of agitation, and if you were uying
to end the cold war and prosecute а val-

d uansistorized high fidelity is sud-

houses as Altec Lansing, Allied Radio,
Harman-Kardon, Heath and H. H. Scott
have already cast a demonstrable vote of
confidence in transistors, and many oth-
ers are sure to follow.

ments recently via a рай of

ck provided for the purpose
and were struck immediately by the su-
perb clarity and openness with which
this equipment reproduced some of our
favorite records. Since transistors do not
labor under the vacuum tube's built-in
limitations of frequency response, the
sky is now the limit (Harman-Kardon
claims an almost flat response from 1 to
1,000,000 cps for the Citation A).

The transistor band wagon is gaining
such rapid momentum just now that it’

s
all but impossible to keep pace with all

rent developments. Nevertheless, we
commend to your attention such equip-
ment as was available for testing when
we went to press. Those who favor an
all-in-one stereo control-amplifier should
look into the Heathkit AAW-21, factory-
wired ($219.95), kit AA21 (5134.95), the
Knight KN 450A ($189.95), the Harman-
Kardon A-1000T ($280), the Omega 1600

— all of them fully transistorized models
in the 60- to 100-wa sory. For the
bult who prefers to work with separate
control and amplification units, there
are transistorized power amplifiers from

FM tuners are offered by Allied Radio
—the Kı

— the 1650 ($249). And there's
tansistorized stereo pickup, the
Fairchild F-7 ($75), which embodies a
pre-preamp to boost the minute output
voltages generated by this cartridge's
low-mass tracing device.

We hasten to add that the vacuum
tube is still a highly regarded mecha-
nism. Any talk of its obsolescence would
be foolishly premature. A good many
engineers continue to prefer the rock-
solid ch ics of proven tubes, and
there is a firm conviction in some quar-
ters that imaginatively conceived tube
circuitry remains unsurpassable in high
fidelity applications. Altec Lansing has
managed to sit on either side of the
fence by utilizmg both tubes and transis-
tors in its latest FM-AM sterco receiver,
the Astro 708A (5507), on the theory
that tubes are ideal for some functions
and transistors ideal for others. On the
other hand, Ma and McIntosh —
two firms of. Rolls- Royce stature in the
audio field — remains unreservedly com-
mittcd to tubes. Despite the fact that it
disdains transistors, the new Marantz

ment that the least thorny piece of elec-
tronic equipment for a novice kit builder
is the power amplifier. If you've decided
to go for a kit-built rig with separate con.
trol and amplification units, then by all
ans start off with the basic amplifier.
Dynaco has two well-designed kits that
are temptingly priced — the Stereo 70
(599.95), h delivers 35 watts per
channel and the new Stereo 35 ($59.95),
rated at 17.5 watts per channel, Harman
Kardon's Citation У (5119.95), at 40
watts per channel, Eico’s HE-B9K
(599.50), at 50 watts per channel and
Н. Н. Scou's LK-150 ($169.95), at 65
мац» per chia аге equally worthy of
consideration. Once the power amplifier
is completed, you'll want to begin on the
control preamp without delay. For the
adventurous type, the all-transistor Cita-
tion A (S250) is the obvious choice.
(We've been assured by Harman-Kardon,
incidentally, that it's a good deal easier
to put together than any of the tube
models in the n line.) If. you're
trying to keep within a smallish budge
our vote goes to the flexible and
to-assemble Dynakit PAS-2 (559.95, plus
another $13.95 for the optional sa
tone extruded panel and die-cast knobs).
Stereo controLamplifiers, combining pre-
amp and power amplifier on the same
chassis, ad in a wide range
of kits. Stra KX200
($169.50), rated at 40 watts per channel,
comes equipped with a built-in D'Arson-
val meter for adjusting bias on the out

Probably the most popular of all
these days are those for FM stereo tuners
— testimony to the rapid spread of mul
plex stereo broadcasts over the last few
months. Until a few years ago, only the
most savvy kit-builders were advised to
attempt FM tuners. Intricacies of wiring.

out a sterco version of this tuner, the
LT-110 (5159.95), incorporating the same

—the KG-70 ($99.95), to
go with its matching transistorized sterco
control-amplifier.

The trend to miniaturization which
we mentioned carlier is by no means
restricted to transistorized gear. Tu
tables and speakers are slimming down,
too. To be sure, there's по way of re-
ducing that sine qua non of all good
turntables, the 12-inch platter, but
within that limitation a good deal has
been accomplished. А turntable-arm
assemblage recently introduced by
Weathers— the Synchromatic 66 ($99.50)
— measures a mere two inches in height
and tips the scales at an incredible 96
ounces. Instead of relying оп the usual
single heavy-duty motor, Weathers uses
two small hysteresis synchronous motors
оп opposite sides of the deck—a sub-
stitution that results not only in trum
dimensions but also in minimal rumble,
wow and flutter. AR's new turntable
(announced a year ago but just пом
reaching the market) is somewhat larger
and heavier, but still remarkably com-
pact in comparison with some of the
massive types that have set the pace up
to now. Like the Weathers Synchromatic,
the AR Turntable ($58) comes equipped
h integrated base and viscous-damped
п. Record changers, too, are a bit less
bulky than of yore. We remaii tial
to the so-called auto ic-turntable vari-
ety, such ard AT-6 (551.50)
nd the Miracord Studio (589.50).

A fascinating exception to the trend
toward miniaturization can be found in
Shure’s new SME Series 2 arm (589.50),
a British import neither small in size nor

justed for both longitudinal and lat
alance, antiskating force, arm h

and, of course, stylus pressure. This pre-
sion made, quality-performance arm de-
serves a cartridge of similar attributes,
such as the well-known and well-regarded

Shrinkage in speakers has been pro-
ceeding apace for some time — ever since
the onset of stereo cast most monster
enclosures into limbo. Not that there was
anything wrong with them. No one in
his right mind would minimize the solidly

Villchurs bookshelf enclosur
acousticsuspension type
carly — and still highly sati
swer. Since its introduction there have
been many variations on the bookshelf
theme — together with several attempts to
reduce speaker dimensions even farther.

Most of the trimming has been eb
fected in depth. The budget priced Jen-
sen X-20 system (539.95) has been sliced
down to a depth of only 254 inches and
the more ambitious Jensen 3-P/2
($139.50), housing five speakers, adds
only one more inch. The JBL people,
who continue to produce such mammoth
nd magnificent speaker systems as their
Ranger Paragon, have also been bitten by
the miniaturization bug — as witness the
JBL Trimline 54 (5117), measuring a
fraction over five inches front to back —
and other speaker systems in the und
six-inch category are available Пот
Electro-Voice, University, Goodmans and
Fisher. Rek-O-Kut has introduced this
year a particularly appealing unitized
Stereo speaker system, integrating both
channels within the same slender picce
of furniture. It's called the Sonorama
($119.95 to $179.95, according to furni-
ture style), and its long, low dimensions
(07^ wide, 12” deep, 5” high) allow it to
double nicely as a shelf.

This drastic slimming in speaker sys
tems has been made possible by some
remarkable engineering advances, By
greatly augmenting the excursion of the
cone — that is, its ability to move back
and forth — without concomitant buck-
ling, a marked increase in bass response
and overall crispness can be achieved
with speakers of relatively small dimen-
sions. The fruit of these fresh departures
in speaker design can be heard not only
in the various slimline systems, but even
more persuasively im several somewhat
larger units of bookshelf size — lor cx-
ample, in Fisher's XP4-A (5199.95) aud
Sherwood’s Ravinia (5139.50). Audio
Dynamics, already noted for its fine
series of ADC cartridges, has recently in-

troduced а line of ADC speaker systems
(5175 to $250, according to size) which
employ a new kind of rectangular рої
styrene woofer manufactured in Eng-
land. The British, indeed, seem to be in
the vanguard of speaker development
once again, and you can sample their
latest wares in the Leak Sandwich
Speaker (5199), the EMI DLS-529 (5159),
the IMF Styrene Pressure Speaker ($200)
and the Wharfedale W90 (5259.50).
The upgrading of small speaker per
formance is nowhere more apparent
than in the latest hi-fi consoles. If you
still think of console sound in terms of
boomy bass, peaky midrange and stri-
dent highs, listen anew. We won't pre-
tend that a $500 console can equal а
-object component rig, but we're
nevertheless much impressed with the
startling improvements to be found in
today’s ready-made sets. Zenith this year
is incorpor лу Stereo Profes
sional changer in its priced
consoles, a truly component-quality
mechanism with a tone arm that tracks
at two grams and a ceramic cartridge of
smooth response and high compliance.
You'll find it in the sleck Danube model
(5750), whose specifications include a
pair of 12-inch woofers and stereo FM
radio. General Electric's better consoles
also use а pair of 12-inch woofers, plus
cight other midrange and tweeter units,
to handle the amplifier's 100-watt stereo
output. In addition, has introduced
an accessory feature known as the Home
Music Distribution System — by means of
which the main console can pipe music
via plugging in to the regular house
wiring, to portable speakers in other
rooms. Ravenswood, an ex-componcnt
house now concentrating on console
gear, has brought out an ingeniously
conceived line that combines console in

considerable freedom of choice. The
Contempo IIT set (5 ample,
comes equipped in its ba n with

the Garrard Autoslim changer, an FM-
only stereo tuner, а 40-watt amplifier
and a speaker system employing four
Sinch woofers, but any or all of these
units can be upgraded at some additionz
expenditure, Webcor and Magnavox are
ht up there, too, with consoles provid-
ing more than decent fidelity from all
sound sources.

Which brings us to the dazalingly
plentiful supply of new tape equipment
on view this year. The latest and by all
odds most attention-getting item on the
1963 agenda is Reve :
Cartridge System (5150), just now ro
ing the market after years of speculat
in the press and of development in the
laboratory. The Revere cartridge player
resembles nothing else in the field — and
provides yet another example of the cur-
rent trend to miniaturization. Instead об

the usual pair of 7-inch reels, it employs
a single wafer-thin cartridge 334 inches
square; and instead of the standard ТУ;

s tape speed, it operates at a року 1%
inches per second. At this slow speed, the
450 feet of Winch tape in cach car-
tridge play for 48 minutes. And since up
to 20 cartridges can be stacked in the
automatic changer mechanism,
the cr can enjoy (if thats the
word) some 15 hours of continuous music
untouched by human hand. (The mu

tridges, courtesy Columbia Records, or
from your own off-the-air recordings on
ЗМУ blank tape cartridges.)

In the reel-to-reel category, the accent
is more on performance than on
sions. Crown International's 300 series of
recorders may
lor compact stylin,
wed construction is clearly meant to
listand a lot of use. In many respects,
the Crown A 394 ($520, with built-in
preamp) merits professional status, The
equipment accommodates 101/-inch reels,
operates in a vertical rack-mounted po:
tion and features automatic selbreversal
at both $34 and 714 ips speeds The
Concertone 605 has what they call Re-
vorse-O-Matic, which enables you to play
four-track stereo tapes back and forth
without flopping and exchanging reels.
Ampex. too, has some new gear — the
Fine Line 1200 ics—that deserves
careful investigation. The Model 1260
(5545), with facilities for recording and
playback of four-track stereo tapes at
either 334 or 714 ips, embodies the fa-
miliar Ampex virtues of smooth handling,
constant speed and minimal wow and
flutter, Three tape heads allow for simul-
tancous recording and playback, sound-
on-sound recordings and special echo

effects. For those who favor transistor
electronics, Eico puts out the RP-100 tape
deck ($299.95 in semi-kit form, $399.95
assembled) and Sony its posh Model 777
(5595) — the latter а magnificently crafted

instrument that features push-button

solenoid controls, modular plug-in ci
cuitry and a bevy of other desirable
specifications. Three other newly styled

St. Thomas offers a magnum-sized
gamut of drinking, dining and enter
ment. We found our own preferences
for the cocktail hour most frequently
proved to be the patios of the hillside
and mountainside hotels, with their
splendilerous views, and either the in-
evitable steel band or (which we pre-
ferred) а Stateside-type cocktail-lounge
piano or combo. Alternatively — espe-
Шу when we had a big evening ahead
—we ordered the first round from our
hotel’s room service, either to be sipped
while dressing or savored with a few
friends on our couage's private patio-
veranda. The Islands’ long, cooling nun
drinks— not incidentally — give you а
gentler start than the customary jolt of а
Stateside cocktail.

It is during these first drink:

that you and your companions may in

dulge in the typically SL Thomian con-
versation concerning where to cat. It is
a pleasant pursuit, because the choice is
not only large, but the varieties of cui-
sine from which to choose are more
various than in any but the largest
Stateside metropolises. In fact, dining in
St. Thomas is a gustatory reflection of
the Islands’ polyglot population and the
worldwide origins of the natives. (AL

settle there.)

The St. Thomas Club, housed in a

As to the Governor's Ball, that was a
unique occasion we were invited to at-
tend. Ralph M. Paiewonsky, governor
of the Islands, was hosting a gala im
honor of the president of the Republic
of Togo. The scene was the Governor's

and society and celebritics from all Ше
Islands attended, with everyone dad in

After you've unlaxed from Stateside
tensions on St. Thomas for a few days
—or a few wecks— and paid your re-
spects to St. John, you'll want to take
the 20-minute shuttle plane to St. Croix,
a very different island, indeed.

St. Croix (rhymes with joy: the adjec-
tival form is Cruzan, rhymes with
Susan) is the largest of the American
Virgins, being 28 miles long from east
то west, and—at its widest — 10 miles
from north to south. Except for a moun-
tainous ridge running pretty much the
gth of its north shore, it is gently
rolling sugar cane country and among
its man-made landmarks are the relics of
ancient stone sugar mills and the stately
mansions, many of them now turned
into guest houses, of their long-departed
plantation owners. Although St. Croix
has thriven under seven flags since
Columbus was first accorded a warm re-
ception from the working ends of Carib
Indian arrows when he landed there in
1493, it has not distinguished itself for
any other kind of liveliness until com:
paratively recently. In fact, someone
once suggested that St. Croix is the place
where old folks from St. Petersburg go
to visit their parents. This reputation
docs not bring joy to the hearts of com-
mercially minded Cruzans: on the other
hand, it is discreetly kept alive by
younger expatriates from the States—
and an enclave of dashing young mem-
bers of the international jet set — who
would just as soon see the island retain
its languid charm, rather than becoming
опе more outpost for the mink-stole-and-
neon, quick-trip tourist brigade. (This
dream of unspoiled semi-isolation may
be fractured soon: new deep-water doc
че for cruise ships and a new jetsize
strip were completed as these words
were written. The suip puts St. Croix
just three and a half jet hours from New
York, on direct. flights.)

While it is truc that St. Croix has

more than its fair share of retirement
homes and of hotels catering to older
(and richer) continentals than does St.
"Thomas, it is very far from lacking in
appeal for the romantically and adve
turously inclined visitor.

the rates for visitors — and. their ages—
tend to be lower. In season there is ac-
tion, too, however — just less of it — and,
perhaps, less easily found. There is no
doubt that St. Croix is quiet; that's why
we suggested a preliminary unwinding
n St. Thomas. But beneath the quiet
and despite the well-bred older gentry's
ubiquitous presence, there is a kind of
wnashamed dedication to luxurious
beachcombing and guiltless selfindu
gence which grows on one in direct
proportion to one’s sophistication con-
cerning the gaudier and more populous

Off season,

We touched down at the St. Cr
airport, which is near the hamlet of
Frederiksted, at about four in the after-
noon, and cabbed to Estate Good Hope,
a hostelry which had been touted as pro-
viding luxury, privacy, elegance, excep-
tional service, and what we used to
think of as Old World charm, but now
think of as Cruzan charm. We were not
disappointed. Our suite — consisting of
Danish-styled living room (equipped
with a drink-and-ice-stocked fridge be-
hind sliding, louvered doors), large bed-
room (double bed), luxurious bath and
separate lavatory, and two terraces —
one facing the sea, the other gardens
and swimming pool — made us feel at
once as though we'd want to stay a long
time. The desire was reinforced when
we shucked traveling clothes for swim-
wear, had а dunk in the pool. then sat
on our seaside private patio and watched
the sun set while we relished a tall rum
cooler. Later, having left the colonnaded
upper floor for the main level, we dis
covered — and partook of the bounty of
each —an intimate little bar, a larger
cocktail lounge, a seaside dining terrace.

The next morning, after our flower-
decked breakfast tray was served on
our private patio, we availed ourselves
of the two beaches that flank the hotel
one for swimming, with deep, rock-free
water, the other wide and flat, for sun-
bathing, Our rented sports car had been
delivered while we slept, and we took
olf — with Baxter Webb, Good Норс%

end of the island, one of the broadest,

ever seen, We promised ourselves a re-
tur , hopped in the car, returned
our host to his duties, and high-tailed й
for lunch in Christiansted, the larger of
the island's two towns.

Simply stated, Christiansted struck us
as one of the loveliest and most unique
small towns we'd seen in all the world.

130 Out of the vi

The minuscule island capital is almost
pure 18th Century Danish, with pastel
hued houses and buildings, much. old
wrought iron, beguiling alleys, patios
and gardens, an endlessly fascin
waterfront with commerc
urcboat activity gunwale to gunwale,
nd a business-and-shopping section
whose buildings are colonnaded over the
sidewalks so that one may always walk
in the shade.

Easy as it is to be captivated by Chris-
nsted’s appearance, it’s а bit hard to
pinpoint its very special atmosphere,
which is compounded of languor, 50-
phisticated excitement (which seldom
shows on the surface), and а tendency
on the part of those in the know to con-
verge on their favorite cocktail terraces
па patio restaurants а long, good hour
before the noon gun.

A very nice way to verify the fore-
going is to drive to Christiansted (unless
you're staying there) early enough in the
morning to get in some strolling along
King's Alley King Street, Avocado
Alley, Company Street and the few ad-
ditional little streets and alleys that
make up the shopping section, and then
find your way, as time for "clevenses"
approaches, to the Café de Paris, You
y be sure you will not be the first at
г, nor at the palm-shaded cocktail
tables that surround the Café's open
ing pavilion. Despite its French name,
the specialties of this meritorious estab-
lishment are superb blinis, filled with
seafood or with caviar, in the latter case,
topped with sour cream.

It is a pleasure to be able to report
that the Cruzan cocktail hour gets under-
way fairly carly, too. Again, you have
a wide range of pleasant places to seck
out, but we'll mention two that struck us
as especially desirable. First is the King
Chi an Restaurant, The thing to do
is to walk right through the restaurant
and on out to its waterfront terrace,
where you may not only enjoy а leisurely
cocktail hour but also dine on really
superb French cuisine — with a few Cru-
zin touches tossed in. For drinking only,
we found a nonstridently lively group
of friendly regulars at a charming bare-
table bistro called The Stone Balloon.
You should not miss at least one dinner
at the Hotel-on-the-C: сеї
man-powered launch only, since
its own tiny island, right near shor
insted Harbor.
neer (which goes in for steel
bands and beach barbeques), the al.
ready mentioned Hotel-on-the Cay (which
blends Cruzan food with calypso sounds)
and the Mahogany Inn (which is right
in Christiansted, and occupies ап 18th
Century building with walled garden
for alfresco dining) are recommended.
gc, but still at the Chris

tiansted end of the island, you won't
want to miss a visit to Grapetree Bay,
a hotel-residentíal-cottage complex in a
superb setting, with dancing to steel
and Stateside bands, limbo contests and
xhibitions, and other Cruzan pleasures.

Another delightful scene with majestic
view is St. Croix by the Sc; fine place
for dancing, and — once a week ~
formal fun poolside barbeque. At
this writing, the island's only out-and-out
night club is called Morningstar; if you
get there before 10 ром. you may find
things a bit quiet, this all-night nightery
being appropriately named.

St. Croix waters are pellucidly ideal
for boating and provide excellent fish-
ing, too. Christiansted is the place to
take off for either. Sport fishing isn't as

prevalent as in other Caribbean arcas,
but you may charter vessels such as Asta,
а 42foot ChrisCraft twin diesel gold

plater on which we spent a wonderful
deep-sea fishing. As for sailing, the
man to look up is Richard C. Nevick.
You can reach him by phone or mect him,
usually during the cocktail hour, at King

Newick is the de igner and
builder of the only trimaran we've ever
been on, and it's an experience not to

miss if you care for sailing at all, The
boat has a narrow center planing hull
and two even narrower outrigger hulls
which barely touch the water. Laced can-
vas hammocks are slung from the center
hull to the outriggers, and make ma
velous places to sit or sprawl while the
vessel skims the water at an incre
20 knots. A very good notion
to book the trimaran (with friends) for
а day at Buck Island, some 12 miles olf
shore from Christiansted.

It would be hard to overstate the

beauty of Buck Island's beaches and sur-
rounding waters. This uninhabited little
isle, off which one anchors and then
swims ashore, sports а just-off-the-beach

Except for the expanding opportuni.

Even sidemen with groups that worked

popularity of the bossa nova, The insin-

Brazilian originators) combine an e

By fall, practically every record label
involved in jazz had released or was
hastily recording bossa albums.
The leade sales was decidedly the
n Getz-Charlie Byrd Jazz Samba, and
a track from that set, Desafinado, had
become a hit single.

Dave Brubeck, without any Brazilian
aid, continued to sell a remarkable quan-
tity of albums, particularly Time Out,
which had been on the Billboard charts
for over 100 weeks by December.

Ray Charles — in singles and albums —
continued to be the most consi:
chartmaker of all popular recor
ists during the past year.

Organist Jimmy Smith broke through
hugely with his Bashin’ album on Verve.
Other briskly selling jazz LPs were
Herbie Mann at the Village Gate (АЧат-
tic) and Miles Davis at Carnegie Hall
(Columbia).

Columbia tried to maintain its posi-
tion as the pace-setter in jazz among the
major labels by adding Thelonious
Monk. The same company also contrib-
uted valuably toward increasing the
basic jazz catalog by reissuing superbly
prepared, mulüvolume packages ої
Billie Holiday and Mildred Bailey.

RCA Victor showed a forceful resur-
gence of jazz interest by signing Sonny
Rollins, Paul Desmond and Joe Morello
late in 1961, recruiting Lambert, Hen-
dricks & Bavan and recording Benny
oodman's Russian campaign.

cians throughout the country, the West
Coast’s Mr. Peacock in particular began
to be referred to in terms which heralded
a new star of unusual dim:

Among rising pianists of unm
merit were Cecil Taylor, Paul Bley, Don
Friedman and Jaki Byard, Walt Dicker-
son appeared as the first vibist to shape
a distinctively original conception on an
instrument that Milt Jackson had thor
oughly dominated for a decade.

Drummers worth watching included
Billy Higgins, Frank Butler and Eddie
Blackwell. In the percussion division, а
long-delayed act of justice occurred as
Roy Haynes, taken for granted for many
years as Sarah Vaughan's drummer and
then as a protean frec-lancer in New
York, began to achieve wider recognition.

Among the vocalists, Carmen McRae
continued to mature and at her best,
she came closer to the pungent, sell
revealing core of jazz singing than any
of her female contemporaries. A striking
improvement occurred in Abbey Lin-
coln, who also became Mrs. Max Roach
during the year. Having removed all
traces of her supper-club past, Miss Lin
coln began to forge a stingingly original
style and was also learning to turn her
race. conscious militancy into meaningful
music. Except for the continuing resur
rection of old blues singers, there was
little of fresh interest among male jazz
vocalists, Ray Charles was still tops.

Although there were no startling addi-
tions to the company of significant jazz
composer-arrangers, Carla Bley did
uniquely supple lyricism as a
melodist, while Gary McFarland became
а justifiably respected and busy arranger
composer in the New York recording
studios. Also indicating unusually r
sourcelul wri capacity was Lalo

Schifrin, Dizzy Gillespie's Argentine-
bom pianist and arranger.

"The diverse and controversial manifes-

tations of the third stream in jazz come
posing were somewhat less active in the
past year; but as more and more young
jazamen acquired thorough training in
classical music theory, it became evident
that jazz writing would inevitably in-
dude a much wider and deeper reservoir
of devices in the decade ahead. John
Coltrane, for one, began to study Hindu
magis and there were dy small en-
claves of intrepid musicians working on
vanced electronic jazz in explorations
ralleling such classical composers as
arése and Stockhausen.
In playing as well as composing, it was
unmistakably clear as 1962 ended that
modern jazz was close to the end of a
long period of consolidating the changes
in the language begun by Charlie Parker,
Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk and
Bud Powell in the 1940s.

The younger players were restless and
insatiably curious about the improvis
tory possibilities , bitonality
and more complex meters (including jazz
th no steadily implied beat at all).
Although this emphasis on expanding

Lambert, Hendricks billing did them no
harm as the took top honors in
the readers’ poll to take their place оп
the bandstand with the 1963 Playboy
Jaz All-Stars. No balloting was more
closely contested than in the yocal-group

comers, Peter, Paul & Mary, unlisted a

Four Freshmen a hair's breadth behind.

PLAYBOY'S INTERNATIONAL DATEBOOK
BY PATRICK CHASE

Fortunately, the choice of near-and-f:
sited vacation locales during this bur-
seoning month is а notably extensive one.

II you" ning on the grand tour
through Europe, you might consider the
following itinerary: Start off with April
in Paris, then head southward on hired
wheels, stopping to savor the fairest of
the fare at the prestigious restaurants of
Lyon (Mére Brazier, Léon de Lyon,

Nandron) Avignon. (don't miss the
ufduPape at Hiély), over-
latter city in a tapestry-

ng room within the sumptuous Hotel
dc l'Europ on to the be
flowered festivals at Сар d'Antibes,
Cannes and Nice, pausing en route to
glom French-style bullfighting in the

an arenas of Arles, Béziers and

aving roistered on the Riviera,
roll on into Italy, and take the flight
south from Rome to Sicily and Taor-
mina, a town ablaze with tropical flowers
set on а cliſt high above the Mediter-
ranean with still-active Mount Etna pro-
viding а looming backdrop. Best hotel in
town is the former monastery of San
Domenico, with its paneled public rooms
and delicately green courtyards. But our
favorite is a small, thoroughly exclusive
place called
which lies five
Beach; run lik sh county
manor, with highly personalized service,
it’s mainly patronized by Britishers.
The ski inclined should take note that
in April there’s still snow aplenty on the
Alpine slopes at St. Moritz, Davos, Zer-

matt and Pontresina, where one encoun-
ters a faster surface on less crowded
slopes. For a scenic shot in the arm, head
into the Bernese Oberland for a ride up
the mountain railway from Interlaken to
the top of Jungfraujoch far above the
ice sca of the Aletsch glacier. The peak
boasts the highest hotel in Europe, hewn
into the rock 65 feet above an under-
ground ice palace that serves as a year-
round skating rink.

ying it cool in the tall coun-
ht allow yourself a few days
of sunny re n in the stunning sct-
ting of the Italiam Lakes, less th
day's run across the Simplon from 7
mattoon on the far side of the Matter-
horn. The place to stay here is in Stresa
at the Grand Hotel ct des Hes Borrom
а choice hostelry for the man who enjoys
fecling royally flush.

New and old Japan hands will find
cherry blossoms softening Oriental land-
scapes during April at such memorable
spots as the Outer Gardens of the Mei
Shrine in Tokyo, the mountain glens
above Nikko (where Japanese trout give
а rousing run for one’s money) and the
deer park at the Eighth Century capital
of Nara. You can sce these and other
Nippon showplaces in high style through
a Japanese tour firm which has been
organized to match trips to the personal
interests of its clients. These luxurious
customtailored excursions include your
own guide, a private car and princely ac-
commodations at de luxe inns.

above, write to Playboy Reader Serv
