The Crew-saders. 


These socks are not for old fogies or young fogies, either. 


Crew-saders are for those young men of every age who 


know better than to confuse stodginess with maturity. 
They come in twenty colors, so you need never get bored. 


A combination of high-bulk Orlon® acrylic and stretch 
nylon, one size fits almost everybody. (King size fits 
everybody else.) They're made by Interwoven, and, as 
further encouragement, a pair costs only a dollar fifty.

photos are similar because both men are, 


in reality Iversen, whose use of а 
nom de plume has, until now, prevented

cap. The pseudonym was necessary at

One married man who has refused, in 
quite spectacular terms, to be cast in the

Requiem for Holidays, we see the type of

Real estate is, in many ways, similar

Linguiphiles intrigued by your ex-

June 1903 issue) may wish to know the 
t origin and age of the word. “Folk- 
um” was coined by us in 1960, and first 
appeared in print im our lolk-music

LETTER? 

In your June issue of тгАүвоү you 
included in your Dear Playboy columns 
a singularly misguided letter from a 
gentleman obviously suffering from a 
disease of the mind. He referred to your

in his drugstore he removed the covers 
from the publication and threw the 
insides in the garbage can. Any of this 
would be enough to incite us 10 write a 
letter informing you just how we felt, 
but what really moved us to write this 
letter the fact that the gentleman 
who wrote the letter identified himself as 
the owner of a Rexall drugstore. In order 
that your readers not get ап improper

image of Rexall drugstores, I feel that I 
should inform them that praywoy maga-

Your Dear Playboy column sports 
more famous names per issue than many 
of the world’s finest publications show 


on their mastheads in а year — a tribute 
to the quality of your contents. One jar- 
ig note, however. I do not feel that the 
fact that а reader — famous or otherwise 
— is interested enough in PLAYBOY to tell 
you about it automatically places the 
writer and the magazine on а firstname 
basis 

There is also a sort of snobbishness

BELL'S BEST SELLER 

Your penetrating. After Hours review 
of that last mishmash of A. G. Bell's 
Manhattan Telephone Directory points 
up the major peril this great land of ours 
faces today. The publishers of this tome, 
in order to poison as many minds as 


possible, have absorbed all costs of pub- 
lication and actually deliver this tripe 
door-to-door to anyone possessing a tele- 
phone, sometimes two or three copies to 
one address. To make sure that every 
innocent mind is influenced, the book is 
prominently displayed on street corners, 
in subway stations, hotel lobbies, and 
even circulated in restroom lounges of 
the most respectable theaters. Yet so 
caper is the public to snap up such 
“literature,” if this writing can be so 
dignified, that long lines of people have 
been observed waiting in winter snow, 
summer hı з to pounce 
on copies. These people even jot down 
juicier passages on scraps of paper, clutch 
them to their hearts, and go inte private 
"booths" (supplied by the publishers) 
to reread them in secret. Eightanillion 
people have actually 
memory bits and pieces of this work. Who 
knows what thoughts run through their 
minds as these people lie awake at night 
ashing what they've read?

Your anti-Manhattanism has gone too

New York by showing the us

chuckle at your occasional references to 
The Realist which invariably implied 
“Only in New York could such worthless 
trash be published." 

I cannot, however, condone your hos- 
tile review of Alexander Graham Bell's 
Manhattan Telephone Directory. Bell is 
a splendid writer of unquestionable in- 
tegrity. Unlike so many other propa- 
gandists who attempt to pass off their 
political tracts as art, Bell always sticks 
objectively to the facts. His work, none- 
theless, is far from prosaic: it is sheer 
poetry. Bell is a master of alliteration. 
t vou find the plot "virtually invis-

the book very well at all 

As for the Classified Directory, I admit 
that it is not quite so objective as Bell's 
more serious work. But it is hardly "yel- 
low journalism." If it is propaganda, it is 
good propaganda. Bell v 
ports the American tradition. of Пес 
enterprise. Other than flags and mothers, 
I can think of nothing more worthy of 
detense. If critical standards mean noth- 
ing to you, I can only ask you to consider 
the immense popularity that Bell has 
enjoyed.

Really Trying. Then came the Buckley- 
Mailer articles. Somewhere along the 
way you introduced Mr. Hefner's stim

installment plan. This was followed by 
leming's latest James Bond thriller, 
similarly divided. Now it's Jules Feiller's

PLAYBOY AFTER HOURS 


ay recall thar Last winter a feisty 
ization called SINA — the Soci- 
ety for Indecency to Naked Animals, led 
by “President С. Clillord Prout. Jr." - 
mesmerized a goodly portion of the na- 
tion's press with its ostensibly sincere

crusade to clothe 


“for the sake of decency.” (“It should be 
worded the Society Against Indecency to 
Naked 


Animals, of course," Prout ex 
fortunately my father 
well, not quite of sound 
he drew up the will financ 
ing the movement, and he used the 
wrong preposition.") Then, in March, 
stories appeared in both Time and News 
week claiming that SINA was nothing 
more than the farcical brainchild of a TV 
amwriter named Buck Henry — alias 
Prout. At the time it seemed likely that the 
society and its crackpot capers (members 
once picketed the White House with signs 
demanding that the First Lady clothe her 
horses for the sake of the nation’s youth) 
would be heard from no more. Not so— 
proof that SINA has not repented crossed 
our desk a while ago in the form of 
a meticulously edited 40-page magazine 
entitled Inside SINA. Included in this 
Official Organ of the Society for Inde

This display of continued. creativity 
piqued our curiosity to such an extent 
that we contacted Buck Henry at his 
CBS office in New York and asked him if 
SINA’s kookie momentum hadn't been 
slowed by the spate of exposés. "Not at 


all" said he with dignity. “The stories 
in Time and Newsweek had little if any 
effect on our image. People take us 
seriously. At the moment. we are six weeks 


behind in our mail, and the phone in our 
New York office — MOrality 1-1963 — is 
busy nearly 24 hours a day. At least 75

are 


ion with Bruce 
Spencer. SINA's silver-tongued vice-presi- 
dent, indicated that SINA’s expanding 
membership is not its ouly curious facet. 
Veep Spencer, who plans to quit his post 
this fall because of excessive harassment 
by cranks —notably drunks who call at 
four л.м. to report unclad snakes — joined 
SINA four yeas ago when he was un- 
employed. “TI level with you because Pm 
leaving the outfit.” he told us earnestly 
Both Buck Henry and I are baffled by 
exactly what or who is behind SINA. It 
scems most likely that someone is putti 
оп the world, at considerable expense. 
But it's also possible that there really was 
some old guy, as our handouts say. who

movement. АП I know is that every word

‘They let us be funny — but there's a line 
beyond which we cannot go. 

“SINA’s authentic raison 


d'être has 


quite literally stumped the best of re- 
porters. I've seen more than one fellow 
spend weeks on his article, write it, then 
call back to say, "Come on, can't you tell 
me what the real story is? I'm going out 
of my mind.’ They all think we must be 
trying to pitch a product. The Time guys 
got desperate at deadline time and ех 
plained us by saying we were trying to 
peddle а phonograph record. Then after 
their story was published, they called. like 
the others, and said, ‘OK,

а mountaineer trying to convince some 
one that the abominable snowman really 
does exist. 

Whatever the solution to this oddball 
mystery may be — and we don't pretend to 
know who is putting оп whom we are 
glad that the enigmatic voice of SINA 
continues to be heard in the land. Per 
haps our pleasure stems from a certainty 
that the terrible wrath of Prout & Co, 
will never fall upon our head: the fact 
is that not once, in innumerable ap 
pearances on our cover, has the PLAYBOY 
Rabbit ever been presented in other than 
impeccably decent dress. Our record is 
spotless, and we intend to keep it that way.

OLD CROW is a revelation! Kentucky bourbon has finer 
taste than any whiskey and OLD CROW is “the Greatest 
Name in Bourbon.” It’s clean. It’s simple. It’s natural. 


The basic principle is easy. Just the juice of a lemon, 
sugar to taste, one and a half ounces of OLD CROW, ice 
cubes, then add a cherry and charged water up to the top 
of the 12 ounce glass. (In truth, it’s a Crow Sour with soda). 


OLD CROW’s great taste is famous. This 
historic brand has been praised by distinguished 
men throughout our nation’s history. Today 
more people buy light, mild 86 proof OLD CROW 
than any other bourbon. It’s that good. 


Next time try a Crow Collins. It’s more than 
alliterative. It’s marvelous.

Gotham’s surprising shortage of first- 
rate seafood restaurants has been happily 
assuaged by the much-fanfared (and де 
servedly so) debut of the Méditorrenóe at 
Park Avenue and 63rd Street. In an 
atmosphere of subdued gentility, bright: 
ened in one room by well-executed 
Mediterranean murals, and warmed in 
another by seacavern architecture and 
the felicitous piano of Ralph Strain, host 
Ed Kern presents one of the few exciting 
nautical menus in town. The bill of fare 
abounds with fresh approaches to old 
favorites. The fish mousse of sole and 
snapper with a green sauce, for instance, 


is exotic, while Brandade en Bouchées — 
a culinary amalgam of salted cod in an 
excellent pastry shell — is outstanding 
solid fare, whether taken as hot hors 
d'oeuvres or as а luncheon dish. Among 


the soups, the ordinary is extraordinary 


and the rare, such as Waterzoie (of ecl, 
carp and whitefish) and Billi-Bi, a cream: 
of-mussels delicacy, is delightfully accessi

several different ways, some of them

This Sporting Life is a blunt, brutal British. 
version of a timeless theme: sports as the

scrum star, lodges in a Midlands city 
with Rachel Roberts, who is widowed and 
withdrawn. On the field he's a smasher, 
but he can't crack her defenses. Hungry 
for love, Harris keeps trying — too self-

sink her. This is the first full-length film

who simply disappear. symbolism as 
subtle as a crash of cymbals, sceming vil-

four-hour journey is bound to have some- 
thing jolly to sec, and if you get tired of 
looking down Elizabeth Taylor's widely 
cleft bodice, there's always the Pharsalian 
battlefield. Joseph L. Mankiewicz, the last 
of a long line of writers and directors, 
has stuck close to Plutarch, Suetonius, 
and home base. His facts are mostly 
curate, his use of them in dialog and 
drama mostly movie-middlebrow. His di-

star of the film is regal Rex Harrison, 
Caesar, who manages to keep things afloat 
until he is assassinated. Roddy McDowall

honors as Burton: Taylor's toga-clad nem-

George Abbott from William

and it shows its age if not its source. It's 
all about mistaken identity — two boys

Best Foot Forward is so far out that it's

write a musical about a Hollywood star 
accepting an invitation to the Winsocki 
high-school prom in order to boost her 
sagging career, but that is precisely what 
ppened. Today the show is where it be

takes its name from a motel on the banks 
of the Wabash in which a trio of scrappy

inner tubes. This folksy show is the onc- 
man handicraft of a young Indianian 
named John Jennings, who wrote the 
music, lyrics, and some of the book. The 
music is almost very good (a nice variety 
of low-down blues and haunting ballads), 
the lyrics are passable, but the book is as 
soggy as its setting, Riverwind does have 
a modest, dreamy charm, however, and 
it introduces a composer of considerable 
polish and promise. At the Actors Play-

THE PLAYBOY ADVISOR 


Two years ago when 1 was 19, 1 became 
enamored of a strikingly lithe beauty 
who was but a junior in high school. As 
our love flourished, so did our physical 
intimacies until, inevitably, our desire 
was consummated. During the next year 
our relationship withstood separations 


and the frustrati 


g futility of long- 
distance phone calls. But the summer 
was marred by constant bickering and 
our time together consisted. primarily of 
battles and bedtime. After she went olf 
to college we drifted apart and, a 
one terrible Thanksgiving vacation to- 
ther, we broke up. After two years of 
promises and agreements, 1 must say I 
enjoy my new freedom, but 1 am worried 
about one thir 


ter 


the 


asistent urgency in 
our sexual relations. Now that she is 
seriously dating another, will she be pre- 
disposed to hop in bed with the next 
one — and the next? What responsibility 
do I share if ultimately she becomes а 
pro? — B. C, New York, New York. 

Much as you'll hate to hear this, the 
answer is: none. The need for physical 
gratification is rarely the cause of а 
woman turning professional. What's 
troubling you is not her fulure, but your 
ego. It huris you to think that you can 
be replaced. Thats understandable, but 
what she does from now on is none of 
your business and certainly not your 
problem. 


A friend of mine just returned from 
abroad where, at onc of the many water- 
ing holes he patronized on his g 
he asked for a mint julep. The proprietor 
delivered it to him with great pride in 
his creation, whereupon my friend, happy 
in the thought of the educational spread 
of American culture, took one swallow 
nd turned the colors of the Stars and 
Bars. After choking it down, he demanded 
10 know what had gone into the abomina- 
tion, and was told straight facedly by the 
barkeep that it was made with brandy, of 
course, the way they'd always made them. 
Could it be that the South's noblest po 
tion has been the victim of some forei 
agents cunning sabotage through the 
substitution of brandy for bourbon? — 
R. L., Savannah, Georgia. 

The bartender was neither con man 
nor quack. Jefferson Davis twirling in his 


and tour 


grave Lo the contrary, there are a number 
о] foreign countries — where bourbon is 
not readily available — which have re- 
placed it (any potable in a storm) with 


a much handier native product. 


Ws the fifth installment of The Playboy 
Philosophy, the word “Comstockery” 
used. I know it refers to censorship, but 
1 was wondering if you could tell me its 


derivation. Does it have anything at all to 
do with the famed Comstock lode of gold 
rush days? — T.T.. South Bend, Indiana. 

Nothing at all. Anthony Comstock 
spent his time mining the limitless (in 
his eyes) vein of “obscene” literature, 
photographs and painting reproductions 
Born in 18H, Comstock flourished midst 
a mass hysteria of Victorian American 
prudery. As secretary of the New York 
Society Jor the Suppression of Vice, his 
inquisitorial zeal inspired the founding 
of that other estimable group. The Watch 
and Ward Society, in Boston. Comstock 
flayed out at everything from dime novels 
"сой traps of the young”—to paint 
ings (his campaign against “September 
Morn” brought it a far greater fame 
than was its artistic due). He reached 
censorial heights, however, when he led 
the successful campaign to get Congress to 
pass what was later called the Comstock 
Law, controlling the circulation of ob 
scene material through the mails. No 
let-George-do-it man, Comstock had him 
self appointed as a special postal agent, 
attacking his job with such fervor that 
he was able to claim that he had single- 
handedly brought about. the destruction 


of 50 tons of indecent books, almost 
30.000 pounds of printing plates, almost 
4,000,000 obscene pictures, and about 
17,000 negatives of the condenned pho 
tos. Not the least of his accomplishments, 
in his own estimation, was the feat of 


having driven 15 people to suicide,

Just what is shotgun poker? I've heard 
that it's an American form of Russian 
roulette. — T. L., Chicago. Illinois 

Youve heard wrong. I's actually a 
variely of poker that combines the play 
of both draw and stud. Each player is 
dealt three jace-down cards. After a round 
of belting, another face-down card is dealt 
which is followed. by another round of 
betting. A fifth facedown card is dealt 
followed by more betting, then by the 
draw (the number depending upon house 
rules), as in draw poker. There is a final 
round of betting after which players still 
in the game show their hands. You might 
fecl like shooting yourself after losing a 
big one, but that’s the closest it comes to 
Russian roulette.

Vc heard that the tomato was once 
known as a love apple. Did people really 
think it had aphrodisiac powers? — J. T., 
Los Angeles, California. 

They did, indeed. And it was all due to 
а sad case of garbled translation. Toma- 
toes, which originated in South America, 
were shipped back to Spain soon afler 
Columbus arrival in the New World, 
whence they were introduced into Mo- 
тоссо. where they recrossed the Mediter- 
ranean to Haly. Here they were called 
“pomo dei Moro” (apple of the Moors). 
Then a Frenchman brought them back 
to his homeland, mistranslating the name 
phonetically to “pomme d'amour" (love 
apple)—which is how the tasty tomato 
became an amatory apple. 


Having misspent my youth lifting

If your measurements approach your 
description of them. you're going to have 
trouble finding a ready-to-wear suit that 
will come close to fitting properly. Ор 
course, alterations can be had in quality 
stores which will bring you closest to a

custom tailoring, you might look for a

ve been steadying it with a beautiful 
chick for nearly two months now. But 
there's something missing from our r 
tionship and T know exactly what it is. 
I've tried to get her up to my place but 
she fears the entrance of my roommates 
who are very good platonic friends of 
hers, (My roommates are big on platonic 
ionships.) Her house is virtually out 

of the question and I'm not one for car 
conquests. Also missing are friends with 
ads. So where do we go? — A. B., Cin- 
ti, Ohi 
To a pad of your own or to a less in- 
hibited chick, that's where. We prefer 
the former solution because we feel there 
is no reason for either you or the girl to 
share your affair with your pals. If you 
can’t solve the where-to problem, yowll 
never make it through the how-to stage. 


A year ago, a friend and I formed a 
partnership to manufacture and market а

was not a huge success and w been

my partner wants us to put up fresh 
money to test-n 
sion of our origi 
averse to a new test-marketing, but I think. 
it should be financed by the sale of our 
present inventory. That way we wouldn't 
run the risk of losing new capital or

As you've discovered, the problem 
capital limitation should have been antic 
pated in your original partnership agree- 
ment. But since, apparently, it wasn't, 
we'll have to side with you. In а 50:50 
operation, it isn't ethical for one partner 
to demand that the other take previously 
unforeseen risks. Since you are willing to 
go along with his test-market idea, he 
should accept your plan for financing it.

then invite her up to hear her favorite

cent where legally restricted. Ales range 
from 5 to 5.6 percent in the East and 
Midwest, and on up to 7.5 percent on 
the Pacific Coast. A special brew called 
“malt liquor” can reach almost double 
the strength of the average 4J5- percent

alcoholic content on beer labels; other 
states require it.

navoor rw RICHARD BURTON 


a candid conversation with cleopatra’s controversial co-star 


Kenneth Tynan, who conducted this 
interview for PLAYBOY, is widely esteemed 
as Britain's most articulate and iconoclas- 
tic commentator on the theater. Writing 
with a тас authority gained from his 
multifarious background as a stage direc- 
lor, movie script. editor and television 
writer-producer, he has become interna- 
tionally known as a drama critic (for the 
London Observer since 1951, and for 
The New Yorker, succeeding the late 
Woolcoll Gibbs, from 1958 to 1960); 
trenchant essayist on drama in England, 
Europe and America; and author of six 
books (including an illuminating profile 
of Sir Alec Guinness). Lauded by literary 
critic Alfred Kazin as a “virtuoso per- 
former in journalism” for his barbed and 
burnished prose, he has also earned a 
reputation as an engineer of reportorial 
coups: He once arranged and presided at 
the only meeting between Tennessee 
Williams and Ernest Hemingway; he is 
reputed to be the only writer who ever 
interviewed the reclusive Greta Garbo; 
and he is one of the few journalists in 
the world to whom the press-beleaguered 
Richard Burton has consented to speak 
for publication in the two years since 
"Cleopatra" began production. Tynan 
writes of their most recent meeting — oc- 
casioned by rtAvwoY's request for an 
exclusive interview —in the following 
preamble: 


“As an actor I'm a very burly boy. I have 
a muscular intelligence, and the idea of 
Stanislavskian self-indulgence is anathema 
lo me. 1 hate this public display of a 
personal rat biting a personal stomach.” 


“Richard Burton is a wealthy, seduc- 
live and extremely gifted Welshman with 
a checkered past, a turbulent present and 
an unpredictable future. At the age of 
37, he has behind him a stage career that 
once led responsible critics — myself 
among them — to hail him as the natural 
successor to Sir Laurence Olivier, “Burton 
is first and last an animal actor, 1 wrote 
of him, ‘with an animal's accidental grace 
and unsentimental passions; offstage he 
has the dangerous high spirits of an un- 
broken colt. What he has done to Shake- 
speare is to abolish the tradition of 
vocalized word music, replacing it with 
something more personal — the sullen 
poetry of the soil." 

“That was a dozen years ago. Since 
then the films have increasingly claimed 
him, and his course in their shadow king- 
dom has been bumpy. reaching its culmi- 
nation in the vast untitled portrait — 
depicting Burton and a recumbent oda- 
lisque —which is displayed on Times 
Square outside the Manhattan residence 
of ‘Cleopatra’ The supine houri is of 
course Elizabeth Taylor, and Burton is 
Antony, the Mark of her esteem. Thanks 
to his connection with the most expensive 
picture ever made, and his relationship 
with the most expensive actress cver paid, 
Burton began to hit the headlines hard, 
and has often come close to replying in 
kind to the journalists who wrote them, 


“Elizabeth is a pretty girl; but she has a 
double chin and an overdeveloped chest 
and she’s rather short in the leg. So I 
can hardly describe her as the most 
beautiful creature I’ve ever seen.” 


Since his carcer entered its Egyptian 
phase, we have met only twice — once in 
Paris last fall, when I waited with an 
apprehensive Miss Taylor, whom he had 
never seen on the screen before, to hear 
his verdict on "Suddenly Last Summer" 
the thought she was splendid); and again 
this year when I went to London's Dor- 
chester Hotel for pLaywoy to leam the 
current state of his opinions on life 
and art. 

“Аз we shook hands in the lobby, his 
large, watchful face — cratered like the 
moon — broke into a broad, crafty smile, 
as if we were schoolboys jointly bent on 
some act of terrible mischief. We took 
lunch in the hotel restaurant, discussing 
the Duke of Argyll’s spectacular divorce, 
then much in the news; Burton scoffed at 
the judge's splenetic insistence on de- 
scribing the Duchess as an immoral 
woman. Across the room 1 noticed Lau- 
rence Olivier, who stopped by to talk on 
his way out. Burton told him that he 
hopes before long to make a film of 
“Macbeth? This was for many years a pet 
project of Olivicr’s, but lack of funds 
caused it to be shelved. Betraying no re- 
sentment, he suggested that Burton might 
do worse than to consider Vivien Leigh 
for the role of Lady Macbeth; but some- 
thing in the Welshman’s reaction con- 
veyed to me that the part was already cast. 

“Lunch over, we repaired to Burton's 


"I sometimes wake up in a cold sweat and 
1 say to myself, What's going to happen 
to me?’ It's not the fear of death — it’s 
the fear of dying and being forgotten, 
of being nothing, that keeps me awake.”

PLAYBOY: As the son of a Glamorganshire 
coal miner in South Wales, what inspired 
you to scale the social, economic and edu- 
cational barriers separating you from an 
acting career in Brita 
society? 

BURTON: The process was quite

ciency of the company. and being the

litde work. Until then, 1 had thought life 
would demand of me something far more

contribute to their betterment by leaving 
grammar school and going to work in the 
mines — youthful idealism, et cetera. I'd 
no idea then I was going to be an actor 
and become spuricusly, speciously, mere-

BURTON: It doesn't especially appeal to 
me, I hardly ever go to sce plays or fi 
а I've never been much interested

PLAYBOY: Was the prospect of easy money 
your only motivation, then? 

BURTON: Well, there was one thing which 
excited me about that otherwise lamenta 
ble performance in Cardiff: the applause 
at the end. That was thrilling 
PLAYBOY: Was this what decided you to 
abandon the mines for the stage? 
BURTON: It helped. But at first ] didn't 
think there was a career in it for such as 
me. I thought, as you suggested, that it 
would be immensely difficult to get one’s 
foot in the door. I imagined that, like 
most things in Britain, it was a closed 
shop. It’s difficult for somebody who 
comes from a majority to know quite

tic and break noses and things like that. 
But even today, in spite of [ame — or 
notoriety in my case — 1 still meet people 
who ask me what school I went to. The 
old school tie and the Establishment are 
still as powerful as ever. Despite the anti- 
Establishment movement that's been go- 
ing on, snobbery is just as great or even 


n England. You get the same 
n too, but there it's 
more concerned with financial. status 


than blood background. Life is always 
going to be a battle to the death, even 
i 1 ideal Aldous Huxley world, where 
some are delegated to be p 
some mechanics, and some philosophers. 
"There will always be competition with; 
cach particu field and class. What I 
didn't suspect, though, when I set out 
as an actor, is that if you happen to have 
a lucky combination of phagocytes or 
something, you could make more than a 
fair living at it. 
PLAYBOY. Was your ow

BURTON: Not c . 1 spoke with a pro-

you can't call it English, but at the same 
time it's not American, and I don't think 
it’s Welsh anymore. I still do my vocal 
exercises rigorously because I believe it’s 
an essential part of an actor's equipment. 
I spend roughly 20 minutes in the shower 
every morning, and it kills wo birds with 
one stone. 1 have become one of the clean.

row of the stalls with absolute clarity. I 
may not have a beautiful voice, or even 
а good one, but it's certainly penetrating. 
PLAYBOY. Do you feel that this sort of 
vocal training is as important for an 
actor as the more fashionable disciplines 
of the Stanislavsky Method? 

BURTON: 1 think Stanislavsky is like all 
the other great leaders of acting, or of 
anything else. Like Jesus Christ, he tends 
to help the weak. The weak rely on 
Christ, the strong do not. It always 
astounds me when I hear Method actors 
explaining why they protect themselves 
under the callus of Sı 


anislavsky’s doctrine. 
hey stand for half р 
before they can go on, because they need 
the sustenance of some mystic commun- 
ion with Stanislaysky, Jung, Adler and 
Freud. I will admit that a strange chem-

gence and the idea of Stanislavskian self- 
indulgence is anathema to me. I hate this 
public display of a personal rat biting a 
personal stomach. 
PLAYBOY: Marlon Brando uses the Meth- 
od. How do you feel about him? 
BURTON: | don't think he needed it, and 
in fact it may have damaged him. The 
actor's yen for sell-pity is a very danger- 
ous thing, and if you allow yourself to 
indulge in this tremulous mumbling it 
can weaken everything you do. It seems 
to me that the Method, as practiced by 
Lee Strasberg and taught to people like 
Brando, has become mutated into ап at- 
titude toward films. It has encouraged a 
sort of quiet, personal withdrawal into 
the intimacy of the camera, rather than 
letting the people in the cheap seats hi 
you ig. The vocal blaze u 
hits the back of the balcony — the sc 
of Olivier in Oedipus — this is something 
v different. Perhaps Brando should 
have developed that power, but 1 hate to 
be pontifical about it. He's still ai 
stinctively great actor, and there are very 
few about. 
PLAYBOY: In a recent Look mag: 
cover story, you went so [ar as to 
that Brando is the finest actor Amer 
has ever produced, Why do you think so? 
BURTON: What fascinates me in a gr 
actor is the unexpected. Brando is uncs 
pected. With most actors, I know exactly 
what they're going. to do before they do 
it. With Brando I'm not sure. He can 
surprise me — not in an outrageous, vul- 
gar, tasteless way, but in the proper w 
PLAYBOY: Docs Laurence Olivier surprise

virtuosity. He attempts astonishing

all depends on what you stick to as 
actor. Most of the great s

BURTON: What I have done is to move

without physica ig the other

guilty. So that I remain inviolate, un- 
touched. 

PLAYBOY: And does Miss Taylor? 
BURTON: Yes. I'm a terrible puritan, you 
sce, despite my attempts to be anything 
else. 

PLAYBOY: Many of your critics have 
claimed that an exuamarital relationship 
— eve nocent of sexual infidelity 
— in which the husband leaves his family 
to take up residence in a hotel suite ad- 
joining the other woman, could be called 
something less Шап considerate of the 
wife. What is your reaction? 

BURTON: The important thing is to look 
after the original partner, and not to let 
anyone else make any vital demands on 


on 


you. АП that matters is the person you're 
really involved. with — the original per-

PLAYBOY: How do you reconcile this 
avowal with recent reports in the London 
press — unexpectedly confirmed and then 
denied in a flurry of confusing statements 
from you and Miss Taylor— that. mar- 
riage plans are in the offing? 

BURTON: What I'v trying to ex 
plain doesn’t necessarily mean that one 
shouldn't leave his wife under алу cir- 
cumstances. If you have to go, for heav- 
en's sake go, and don't keep skipping 
back and forth. My point is that you 
mustn't use sex alone as а lever, as a kind 
of moral, intellectual, psychic crutch to 
get away from her. You can't say to her, 
“I'm terribly sorry, but L can't sleep i

Taylor, as one of the world’s great beau- 
tics, is more fascinating than most? 
BURTON: All this stull about Elizabeth be- 
ing the most beautiful woman in the A 
world is absolute nonsense, She's a pretty 

girl, of course, and she has wonderful MAUMEE weno. streneo FRONT

PLAYBOY: What, then, is the source of her 
enduring attraction for you? 

BURTON: It always fascinates me to see 
what fascinates the public. I think Eliza 
beth has an extraordinary faculty for be- 
ing dangerous. She gives you a sense of 
danger. When she's on the screen you're 
never quite sure that she might not be 
going to blow her lines at any second 
She's one of a selected few who aren't 
actors by our standards, but if you put 
them on a screen they emanate something 
— something I frankly don't understand, 
although I recognize it when I sce it. 
Brando has it, and of course he's а very 
considerable actor as well. Monty Clift 
used to have it; of course Garbo had it. 
PLAYBOY: At the time of

you think of the way Sheilah Graham 

exploited her relationship with that m 
velous writer, Scott Fitzgerald — my God, 
she's hardly the person to talk. But what 
alarms me about statements like these is

would seem, in the light of the last two

PLAYBOY: Your agent, Harvey Orkin, has 
publicly proposed a somewhat different 
theory — which he later denied — to ex- 
plain what he felt has been your failure 
to achieve greatness as an actor. He said, 
“Here is a man who sold out. He's trying 
to get recognition on a trick." In view of 
your earlier comment about. becoming 
“spuriously, speciously, meretriciously 
successful" as an actor, do you feel there 
may be some truth to his accusation?

thing about someone if you've sold out 
yourself. I'm very fond of Harvey; he

—is in a state of “suspended an ion," 
that your n s writ in water." Do 
these quotes accurately reflect your cur- 
rent mood? 

BURTON: T hey do not. In the first place, T 
not said “My name is writ in water,” 
because that was clearly the most ego- 
maniacal statement that a dying poet 
ever made, and I wouldn't want to com- 
pete with Keats for immodesty. As for

THE PLAYBOY FORUM 


an interchange of ideas between reader and editor 
on subjects raised by “the playboy philosophy” 


A NEW PHILOSOPHY 

The tremendous popularity of. The 
Playboy Philosophy suggests that the 
hunger for a new philosophy may be as 
great as that which is inspiring the Sexual 
Revolution itself. ‘The latter, represent- 
ing as it primarily does an emotional 
break with conventional tenets, is in dire 
need of a firm foundation of philosophi- 
cal justification. 

1 would like to suggest, in the interest 
of continuing your philosophy depart- 
ment, that you invite the participation of 
your readers. This might at first consist 
merely of moving the appropriate letters 
to the editor from Dear Playboy to a sep- 
te "philosophy" section. Eventually, 
however, it is to be hoped that these let- 
ters will grow into something more — 
discussions which might. strengthen your 
own Philosophy, either through a direct 
contribution of ideas or by forcing fur- 
ther thought in your effort to defend the 
concepts you have already sct forth. 

- R. Ahrens 
San Diego, California 

“The Playboy Forum" has been insti- 
tuted to do just that. 


SEXUAL REVOLUTION 
There is no question that Hugh Hefner 

is doing something brave and admirable 
— something that needed to be done in a 
jonal publication of your influence. 
This is a time of dynamic change. There 
is a bursting drive for freedom in all 
things. The question man is faced with in 
seeking sexual freedom is identical to 
that concerning political, racial and eco 
nomic freedom. The question is Is 
20th Century man responsible enough to 
handle these freedoms maturely? The 
nswer in 1968 is apparently a qualified 
Yes" And even if the answer is 
“Maybe,” we must find out.

whereof he speaks, through experience,

such a carefully composed thesis, nor one 
so accurate; aside from minor differences 
of opinion, I find myself in complete

I would like to comment on part eight. 
of your Playboy Philosophy. It seems to 
me that to make the statements included 
pal 
Christian tenets we have based our society 
upon. Why should we lower our values to 
^t our actions? It seems to me that it 
would be much more desirable to attempt 
to base our acti n elevated set of 
values. Premarital sex, as advocated, and 

3 al sex, as condoned, cannot 
fail to do ultimate harm. Besides destroy- 
ing the moral fiber of an essei 
Christ nation and leading to total 
moral bankruptcy, these. expressi 
sex would, inevitably, lead to tr 
riages, wife-trading and ever 
stitution of free love. To 
happen merely to satisfy the whims and 
desires of the incestuous and the bestial 
would be disastrous, 

We must realize that the mind can and 
must triumph over the body. If it does 
not, man may become an irrational — ful- 
filling every sensual desire at his pleasure. 

John Tumbur 
Modesto, Са! 

But it is the triumph of the mind of 
man that we favor. We do not believe 
that the establishment of а more opti- 
mistic, rational and human morality to 
replace the negative, superstitious, sup- 
pressive and quite hypocritical dogma 
with which men have suffered through 
the centuries will destroy the moral fiber 
Of society. It seems certain to have just 
the opposite effect. 


therein is to undermine the 


T re that there are many different 
opinions regarding sex relations outside 
of marriage. One of these was presented 
by Mr. Hefner asa part of your “guidi 
principles and editorial credo." 1 enjo 
these views, but don't agree entirely with 
the conclusions. No one can establish a 
concrete set of principles based upon

culture. 

My criticism is focused on the views 
expressed on two subjects: free enterprise 
and sex; but it will be obvious that this 
ism presupposes principles which 
will apply to several of the other topics 
which yon discuss. 

What 1 particularly welcome in rela- 
tion to these two topics is the emphasis 
on freedom. (Indeed, this appears to be 
the keynote of the whole philosophy and, 

5s, it is more than welcome.) 


that freedom necessarily ¢ 
ibility. Freedom to take ove 


volves the responsibility for 
what they do works not merely 
g of their own aims, but 
of the basic rights of 


seeing th: 
to the securi, 
also to the securin 
those who аге not in positions of power 


and influence, but who may be (and often 
have been) the helpless victims of those 
who have persuaded themselves that in 
satisfying their own self-interests, they 
also are automatically serving the great- 
est number. 

А glance at social and economic history 
during the last hundred years or so should 
convince the most idealistic champion of 
free enterpr of the truth. of Lord 
Acton's observation to the effect’ that 
“power corrupts, and absolute power 
corrupts absolutely." The “епсгоасһ- 
ment" of government on business, so 
widely bewailed by economic conserva- 
tives, has occurred gradually, and has 
been imposed reluctantl 1 result of 
the sad lessons of experience, Those in 
positions of power (economic and other) 
have, with rare exceptions, shown that 
they are not to be trusted. The reason is 


hot (as many leftwingers claim) because 
capitalists are inherently evil, but rather 


that individuals and groups in positions 
of power seem unable to judge or recog- 
nize their obligation to provide for the 
common welfare and to tke steps to 
remedy the evils which unbridled free 
terprise tends to produce. 
The enactment of child: 
„ now, to be an expr 
nitarian concern which any right- 
g citizens would support. But why 
were such the first place? 
The only plausible answer would seem to 
be that the operators and owners of 
industry were blind to the evils of the 
workings of the 5 m, as 
it was then constituted, in one of its 
major effects: the exploitation of chil- 
dren. To us this may seem incredible. 
But to those and their children who were 
thus exploited in the 19th Century, it was 
a harsh fact. And the evil was curbed only 
after legislation was enacted to curb it. 
Ir was not remedied voluntarily by the 
operators and owners of industry them- 
selves. 
In ou 
enter 


AWS necessary 


own day, champions of free 
sc seem equally blind to the 


t workers, the 


exploitation of m 
gouging of slum tenants, and the collu- 
sion of producers and distributors in the 
pricing of drugs, farm products, and other 
commoditi Responsibility in these 
as has by no means been matched by 
the amount of freedom demanded and 
allowed. When those who arc weak, aged, 
or helpless in other ways (and the number 
of these increases constantly as our society 
becomes more complex) are unable — as 
apparently they are — to arouse pity and 
magnanimity in the hearts of the wiclders 
of power, then only revolution or legis- 
lation will serve to achieve a measure of 
justice. We can thank God that, in our 
democratic society in America, means are 
available for the enactment of legislation 


to ensure a peaceful redress for griev- 
ances. The ошу alternative is revolu- 
tion — as in Cuba, South America, and 


ious other paris of the w 


orld today. 

1 am appreciatively aware of your pat 
on the back to Americans for bringing 
pressure to bear in order to right the 
wrongs of the TV-quiz scandals, police 
crime in Chicago, racial discrimination, 
and similar blots on the record of our 
social behavior. But let us not forget th; 
the question of freedom is a moral ques 
tion. And human experience has shown 
that while we can ly spot the splinter 
in our brother's сус, we arc usually blind 
to the plank which is in our own. 

The other question has to do with sex. 
You are quite right in condemning the 
hypocrisy, prudery and downright stupid- 
ity which has long surrounded this sub- 
ject in our society. But if we are going to 
turn the spotlight on sex, let us turn it on 
full blast. Sex is, indeed. a God-given 


other

oper place. M it is unregulated and. 


ained, it is riably evil. And.

abuses extreme. We need all

which sex has been allowed. completely 
free expression. Again, with freedom in 
all other freedoms) goes re- 
And when individuals or 
an inability to regulate 
their sexual behavior voluntarily, society 
steps in to enforce various regulations. 

I do not wish to imply that you are 
advocating undisciplined freedom. But, 

1 treating subjects which are as basic to 
our pattern of li , T think 
you should be more careful to distinguish 
freedom from license, to point out the 
responsibil h freedom entails. 
and to avoid the suggestion that anyone 
who says "No" to certain forms of bé- 
havior is merely a hypocritical idiot. After 
all, if good taste is to prevail in matters

Paul С. На

We agree that society has grown too 
big and far too complex to retain its 
freedom without the aid of government, 
and freedom, for us, means freedom of 
opportunity — equally and for all — as 
well as freedom of speech, press and 
assembly (and freedom of opportunity 
requires concern for the health, education 
and general welfare of the citizenry as 
well). We are in special agreement with 
your comments about power and its 
ability to corrupt — all power in a free 
society must have its checks and balances 
— but. this applies not only to business, 
but also to labor; it also applies to reli- 
gion and to the government itself. 

We agree still again with your position 
that freedom and license are not the same 
thing. and that freedom requires respon- 
sibility, but we would add that what is 
sometimes termed “license” turns out to 
be, instead, a freedom to which someone 
else objects. 

As for sex, this most personal freedom 
certainly requires a related acceptance of 
responsibility, and requires some regula- 
tion by society as well; but we must make 
certain that the regulation is limited to 
those public aspects of sex in which 
society has a rightful interest: protection 
of the innocent from acts of coercion or 
violence, protection of minors, and pro- 
tection of society at large from. public 
actions to which it has no wish to be 
subjected. The other, private aspects of 
sex are not the proper concern oj society 
or its government; and when they make 
them their business. they are infringing 
upon our freedom. H sometimes happens 
that what we wish to term "sex. disci- 
pline" is, in fact, a projection of our 
own personal moral or religious code, lo 
which others may, or may not, subscribe.

We favor the totally integrated indi-

man should limit the practice of his reli-

oppose is not the man who carries his reli-

who would force his religious beliefs, ov 
any practice based upon them, on other 
men through state or social coercion. It 
is quite proper for the religious person to 
take his faith with him into the school- 
room or legislative hall, but he has no 
right to expect the student next to him to 
pray to his God in that school, and when 
he casts his ballot as a legislator, he is 
obliged to represent the belicfs of all of 
his constituents — not. just these of his 
own religious persuasion.

While it is reassuring to know that the

as a spokesman for national space policy, 
it is even more heartening to know that

I wish to thank you for furnishing the 
reprints of The Playboy Philosophy for 
our discussion of Contemporary Values 
at the West Chester Y.W.C.A. They pro- 
ed material for а most stimulating 
nd provocative period of discussion. It 
was certainly refres read your 
ws on the “Upbea ation," the 
evils of our Puri ше and of 
censorship, and your quite thoughtful 
discusion of our unlortunate trend 
. I wish I was as con- 
ced as you seem to be that the "Up 
beats” are less conforming: alas. they 
seem all too-conforming in their race for 
the materialistic symbols of status — 
sports cars, hi-fis, wall-to-wall carpets, 
etc, etc. Nor can I as glibly dismiss reli- 
gion as you have done in your Philosophy 
For me, the interpretation of the Chris- 
tian religion has not been as limited, nor 
as narrow, as yours scems to have been. 1 
have had the good fortune to know 
number of religious people who have 
made real the teachings of Jesus — of a 
loving spirit in all one’s dealings. Hence, 
for me the of our Judeo- 
Christian reli for the 
belief in the individual man, which made 
our democracy develop and grow. 

I am not sure how many regular 
readers of PLAYBoY magazine you will 
have as a rcsult of our discussi 
I am sure, however, that there are 95 
women in the West Chester area who 
might never have scen a copy of PLAYBOY,

dismiss it lightly a t one of “those

the subtle distinctions that set cach 
species apart, because he has an identify- 
ing word that permits him to imme- 
diately label each one and separate it 
from the others. This is because there 
are varying degrees of abstraction in de- 
scribing anything — objects, actions, emo- 
tions, even pure ideas — and this includes 
describing them to ourselves, as well as 
to others. And if your vocabulary in- 
cluded the words for no animals what- 
ever, your jungle sojourn would be far 
more harrowing, for you would have no 
way of knowing which animals 
dangerous man-eaters and which were 
not. Thus your vocabulary limits your 
ability to perceive slight differences in 
very similar things, in the first instance, 
and limits your ability to know about 
the things, in the second. 

Much of what we call reasoning is ac- 
tually subvocal speech, in which words 
are essential for thought itself: in lab- 
ovatory tests highly sensitive electrodes 
have been attached to the vocal cords 
and micromuscular motions detected dur- 
ing the thinking process— which is to 
say, the thoughts were produced by sub- 
liminal speech, using the same word sym- 
bols the subject would use to express the 
thought aloud. 

Many languages include words for 
which there is no exact English transla- 
tion —and (hey afford a subtle variation 
in meaning (and in thought) that is 
lost to us. Without the symbols we use 
in mathematics, Albert Finstein would 
never have been able to develop his 
theory of relativity or the formula 
Е=тєс* —out of which the Atomic Age 
was born, 

Just as any degree of reasoning is im- 
possible without the use of words, so the 
censorship or control of words also sup- 
plies a control over thought. In Orwell's 
"1981," the slate created its own lan- 
guage, Newspeak, and manipulated the 
thinking of ils citizens by eliminating 
words that referred to subjects от ideas 
that were forbidden. A person's sex life, 
for example, was entirely regulated by 
two Newspeak words: “goodsex” (moral 
sex) and “sexcrime” (immoral sex). 
“Goodsex” was sex between husband and 
wife, in the approved position, with a 
minimum of enjoyment, for the purpose 
of procreation; all else was "sexcrime", 
which included fornication, adultery, 
sodomy, fellatio, cunnilingus, elc., elc. 
There was по need to enumerate the 
various acts with individual words — they 
were all equally forbidden; and the elim- 
ination of the words helped to eliminate 
some of the temptation, since the behav- 
ior was thus less apt to be contemplated 
or thought about. 

General Semantics has a precise phrase 
for nonthinking, emotionally charged т‹ 
sponses to specific words. The term is 
“signal reaction,” which signifies the 
sponse a motorist 


were 


kind of automatic т 


experiences when a traffic signal flashes 
red, or the automatic salivation Pavlow 
produced as a conditioned reflex in his 
experimental dogs. In “1934,” the brain- 
washed citizenry had a signal reaction lo 
the two Newspeak words about sex. In 
omwell's England, his followers had 
ignal reactions to the word “monarch”; 
today, many of us have signal reactions 
to such words as “Communist.” In the 
case of a traffic light, a signal reaction 
is useful: il is quick, quite reliable, and 
it short-circuits unnecessary thinking. But 
when applied to 
thought, signal reactions can create a 
preconditioned, inflexible, adult robot 
ош of a normally endowed child. 

In dije, the presence or absence of 
specific words for particular acts, objects, 
emotions and ideas is just one subtle 
aspect of a continuing series of thought- 
controlling, or thought-patterning in- 
fluences. Just as the IBM computer 
weighs data on the basis of information 
that has previously been “fed” into it, зо 
does the human mind form opinions, 
make judgments, conceive ideas on the 
basis of its preconditioning. No thought 
springs Jull-blown as an immaculate con- 
ception into man's mind; it must have 
environment and education. The state 
that controls both environment and edu- 
calion controls the thoughts of its citizens.

The Playboy Philosophy has been ir 
teresting and, at times, downright intelli 
gent. But you really got lost in April 
when you stepped firmly behind Lenny 
Bruce. That boy may have something to 
tell the world, but he’s obviously unquali- 
fied for the job. Not only are they uying 
him on obscenity charges, but now drug 
ldiction has been added to the list. 

А philosophy of life is supposed to put 
things in perspective. You only make a 
mockery of your philosophy when you 
drag in Bruce. Apparently he h

right in а free society to speak and be 
heard, by those who want to listen. We 
would defend that right no matter how 
much or how little he had to add to the 
uninterrupted exchange of ideas that is 
the foundation of our democracy; in 
Lenny's case, we think he has more to 
say than most. 

In Chicago, Lenny Bruce was arrested 
for giving an obscene performance at 
The Gate of Horn, the city's top show- 
place for folk acts; following an adminis- 
trative hearing, the City revoked The 
Gate's license for two weeks, although 
the trial to determine Bruce’s guilt or 
innocence had not yet taken place: Bruce 
was not at the hearing and Variety re- 
ported that he had, “in effect, been tried 
in absentia.” In the subsequent jury 
trial, Bruce was found guilty as charged 
and given the maximum penalty pos- 
sible: one year in prison and a fine of 
$1000. The trial had strong religious 
overtones (Bruce had made a number of 
remarks in his act that were taken as un- 
complimentary to organized religion) 
and we cited the case as ап example of 
how charges of “obscenity” can be used 
1o cover other areas besides sex that some 
members of society may object to — reli- 
gious, racial, political, etc. 

In Los Angeles, Bruce has been ar- 
rested six limes in the past year on charges 
of obscenity (he was cleared on a similar 
charge in San Francisco last year) and 
drug addiction, to the extent thal we felt 
a serious question of police harassment 
was involved. Some of those charges have 
been dropped; some are still pending. 
On the most recent drug arrest, the judge 
waived the criminal aspect of the case 
(which could have brought а maximum 
sentence of 10 years in prison, for a first 
offense) and ordered Bruce confined for 
lests, to determine if he is an addict, and 
treatment, if he is. 

Both the Chicago and Los Angeles de- 
cisions are being appealed. 


The contemptible fanatics who would 
suppress the genius of men like Lenny 
Bruce and Henry Miller could cone 
ply destroy the freedom of us all if some- 
one doesn’t stop them. Thank God for 
Hugh M. Hefner and his efforts in this 
direction. His sincere courage and high 
intelligence are an inspiration to men of 
good will everywhere who are concerned 
with America remaining the home of the 
brave and the land of the free.

T was especially interested in that part 
of the May Playboy Philosophy that men- 
tioned Lenny Bruce. So far as 1 recall, І 
have never read an article on Mr. Bruce; 


I've never seen or heard him. But every 
time I have seen his name in print, I 
have found “obscene” beside it. T really 


couldn't have cared less, but after reading 


all that has been ing to him these 
past few months, in Philosophy and the 
newspapers, and what you've had to say 
about him — well, it's a rather disgusting 
mess. I wish you would run an article on 
Lenny Bruce in the near future. I am 
very curious to know more about this 
rather complex human being. As for my 
own impression of Mr. Bruce — well, 
from what I have read, I am inclined to 
believe that he is a brilliant and percep- 
tive performer. 1 just wish I knew more.

This is a personal word of thanks for 
the substance and content of The Playboy 
Philosophy. I'm to be very frank 
and say that along about parts four and 
five, though I had read it all with interest, 
to feel, “Well and good, but is 
ng to go on forever 
part six, and your treatment of 
censorship, I'm inclined after all to wish 
you would. 

Га like to call your attention to two 
books which you cannot have read, for if 
you had, you could not fail to have 
quoted them. One has been a source of 
deep delight to me for a long time: the 
other exploded into my personal philos- 
ophy and beliefs like a flash bulb in my 
face. 

‘The first is, unfortunately, out of print. 
It was written by Bernard Rudofsky, pub- 
lished in 1917, and was, in book form, 
the exhibit Rudofsky put on at the 
Museum of Modern Art called Are 
Clothes Modern? Subtle, humorful, 
oblique and startling, the exhibit exam- 
ined clothes and their conventions and 
symbolism throughout history, in a most 
unforgettable way. What reminded me of 
this collection, and the subsequent book 
that resulted from it, was your quote 
from Girodias, in the Playboy Panel: 
“Censorship is obviously inspired by 
individual feelings of modesty, of de- 
cency. . . ." Rudofsky had over the en- 
trance to his exhibit, and in the front of 
his book, this marvelous and most pro- 
vocative legend: “Modesty is not so 
simple a virtue as honesty.” 

The other, quite explosive volume is 
Sex in History by С. Ratray Taylor 
(Ballantine Books, $357K)—the only 
Known treatment of Western Civilization 
as if it were a patient in a psychiatric 
dinic, written by a clinical psychologist.

1 nt to thank you for mentioning me 
in the censorship discussion in The 
Playboy Philosophy and congratulate 
you on the high caliber of the entire 

ies. Considering the gigantic combined 
ion of all the issues in the series, 
you are probably dealing the single most 
nt blow to the forces of censor- 
ship of any publication in the history of 
the United States of America. 

I would take exception to your por- 
trayal of our present Postmaster General.

to impound books which he felt to be

practice of imprisoning the publishers 
of such books.

of Day's new policy. He recently secured 
my indictment for mailing copies of a 
book cntided The Housewifes Hand- 
book on Selective Promiscuity, а book 
widely hailed as an exceptionally lucid 
case history of one woman's sexual and

Ralph Ginzburg, Editor and Publisher 
Eros Magazine 
New York 
The U.S. Post Office has an infamous 
history oj extralegal, administrative cen- 
sorship in which it has ignored, as much 
as it was able, innumerable court deci- 
sions curtailing such activities—and 
suppressed. some of the great literature 
of our lime. In recent years, a firmer 
stand against censorship in our courts 
has made it increasingly dificult for 
the would-be censors to operate efec- 
tively and with the new administration, 
it appeared that a more liberal and en- 
lightened point of view would at last 
prevail within the postal arm of our 
Government. The hope was short-lived, 
Immediately after voicing approval of 


what seemed to be the new policy in 
“The Playboy Philosophy.” we witnessed 
the latest episode of Post Office book- 
burning, to which Editor-Publisher Ginz- 
burg refers. (The Realist published this 
parody of a sign that recently appeared 


on the walls of post offices throughout 
the country: “REPORT OBSCENE MA- 
TERIAL TO YOUR POSTMASTER... 
he thrives on it.) 

As the Ginzburg case took shape, not 
only the “Housewife’s Handbook,” but 
Eros itself was included in the indict- 
ment, The Justice Department took 
ils case to a U.S. District Court in 
Philadelphia (although Ginzburg pub- 
lishes in New York), presumably because 
the courts have proven more friendly to 
censorship there in the past, and he was 
charged with 28 separate counts of mail- 
ing obscene material. (Early in the year 
Eros was taken before a grand jury in 
New York on charges of obscenity, but 
after two weeks of listening to writers, 
artists and photographers who have con- 
tributed to the magazine, the jury de- 
clared the publication not obscene; the 
New York Post reported: "One of 
the magazine's illustrations cited before 
the grand jury as obscene turned out to 
be poor evidence for the state’s case 
when its creator was revealed to be 
Rembrandt.”) 

Sixty-five psychologists, | scxologists, 
and assorted literary figures appeared in 
Philadelphia in Ginzburgs defense. 
Judge Ralph C. Body reached his deci- 
sion in mid-June — found  Editor-Pub- 
lisher Ginzburg guilty on all 28 counts 
— making him liable to fines up to $140, 
000 and 140 years in prison, when he is 
sentenced — repeat, 110 years. 

Ginzburg will appeal the decision. But 
even exoneration may bear a grotesquely 
heavy penalty. Grove Press, generally 
acknowledged to be the foremost discov- 
етет and publisher of new literary talent 
here and abroad, had to spend over $300,- 
000 defending its right to publish D. H. 
Lawrence and Henry Miller — money it 
might otherwise have used to promulgate 
literature.

s the previous letter indicates, the 
U.S. Post Office did “stop this" The 
question we must now all ask ourselves 
is—do we want an administrative 
branch of our Government, whose pri- 
mary function is supposed lo be the 
prompt, efficient delivery of the mail (a 
function they seem perpetually inca- 
pable of performing), censoring our mail 
— determining for us what correspond- 
ence, addressed to us, we are to receive 
and what is to be withheld, rather than 
permitting us to make that decision for 
ourselves? 


If the Post Office is allowed to censor 
а promotional solicitation from a maga- 


ne devoted to “love aud sex,” what is

to “love,” and eventually the censorship

pect of life that some member of the 
administration then in power happens 
to take exception. to? 

We've already pointed out how easily 
the laws against “obscenity” can be used 
10 censor other unpopular ideas (Sce 
“Creeping Censorship,” “The Playboy 
Philosophy,” Part Six, May 1963); “ob 
scenity" statutes сап be twisted, and 
frequently have been, to include opin- 
ions on religion, morality, birth control, 
divorce, race, and even politics, that а 
particular Government official or ad- 
happens to dislike. (We 
quoted Supreme Court Justice Hugo 
Black on the matier of obscenity in the 
seventh installment of the “Philosophy” 
[June 1963]: "It was the law in Rome

says that then it became obscene to criti-

We prefer to open our own mail — 
solicited or otherwise — subscribe to our 
own magazines, buy aur own books, read 
and write our own letters, without the 
helping hand of our Government or any 
of its petty officials. We question their 
qualifications for the job = and even if 
they were qualified (and the would-be 
censor almost never is), os an adult mem- 
ber of a free society, we're unwilling to 
give up any of these personal rights

Americans have fought and died. for

since. As members of the Armed Forces 
during World War T, we weren't very 
happy about having the Government 
censor our personal mail to loved ones 
back home, but we accepted it as a nec- 
essary restriction of our freedom during 
wartime; we're not willing to grant the 
Government any similar right now that 
we're civilians again and the U.S. is not 
at war, We're not certain how ihe rest 
of America feels on the matter, but for 
us, that’s one of the things that the War 
was all about. 

As for that hypothetical minor you 
mention, if his parents do not consider 
him old enough to know about “love and 
,” then better that they censor his 
mail than allowing the Government to 
do it. 

We think the Post Office ought to 
attend to the job of delivering the mail, 
not censoring it. A like opinion was ex 
pressed by Judge Thurman Arnold and 
the U.S. Court of Appeals, in their 
famous decision in the Esquire case in 
the mid-Forties, when the Post Office 
tried unsuccessfully to revoke Esquire's 
Second Class mailing permit (which 
would have put the magazine out of 
business); in finding im favor of the 
magazine, the Court declared: “We in- 
tend no crilicism of counsel for the Post 
Office. They were faced with an im- 
possible task. They undertook it with 
sincerity. But their very sincerity makes 
the record useful as а memorial to com- 
memorate the ийет confusion and lack 
of intelligible standards which can never 
be escaped when the task is attempted. 
We believe that the Post Office officials 
should experience a feeling of relief if 
they are limited to the more prosaic 
function of seeing to it that ‘neither 
snow nor rain пот heal mor gloom of 
night stays these couriers from the swift 
completion of their appointed rounds." 

The decision was upheld by the U.S. 
Supreme Court, but the “memorial” was 
а little premature. The Post Office con- 
tinues to play the censor and the current 
victim is Publisher Ginzburg and Eros. 


A PHILOSOPHY FOR AMERICANS 

In your May Philosophy you wrote, 
. . . the Founding Fathers of this great 
democracy. It has been a long time 
since I have heard someone refer to this 
great body of men when discussing any 
of the problems that exist in American 
society today. How many times would 
they have thrashed in their grave 
they been able to observe the actions of 


their descendants? How many problems 
would not now exist, had we but 
ferred to their great foundi docu- 


ments. Surely these documents weren 
meant only to be displayed at the L 
brary of Congress, for the inspection of 
the curious sightscer. They were given 
to us to live with, and by—cach day, 
every day.

THE PLAYBOY PHILOSOPHY 


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


IN AN ATTEMPT to better explicate the 
Sexual Revolution currently taking place 
in society, and PLAynoy’s own part in this 
new mo y," we offered 
last issue a brief history of sexual sup- 
pression since carly Christendom through 
the Middle Ages, and this month we will 
complete that historical lysis with a 
consideration of the Renaissance, the 
Reformation, Puritanism, Victorianism. 
and their relationship to presentday sex 
prohibitions 
We have already noted that earlier 
jons did not sulfer [rom sim 
г suppression and that pre-Christian 
Roman and Grecian societies were rela- 
tively fice of symptoms of sexual guilt 
id shame, Virginity was prized in the 
female, but not because of any religious 
or moral convictions: women were con- 
sidered property and a virgin female h 
greater value, even as а new апа un- 
used picce of pottery, furniture or cloth- 
ing might: similarly. ac 
against property, like stealing another 
man's ass or plow. These prohibitions 
applied only to women and it is directly 
from this concept of the female as being 
the property of the male that we evolved 
our own present moral views of virginity 
asa virtue and adultery asa sin. 
The coming of Christianity did not

society— 


indeed. the opposite proved true and the 


antisexual nature of the new religion 
produced а far greater antifemale atti- 
tude than had existed previously. Women 
accord- 
i to one authority of the period, and a 
source of temptation and lust that could 
lead men to their downfall. Robert 
Briffault, the noted English historian and 
anthropologist, writes that the 
Church "pronounced a curse upo: 
stigmatized woman as the instrument of

‘impure’ only, but as the obstacle to

aversion to sex and he also believed that 
the Second Coming and the end of the 
world were imminent and that man 
should put away all things material 
and prepare himself for that moment. 
Nathaniel S. Lehrman states, in "Some 
Origins of Contemporary S Stand- 
nds,” in the Journal of Religion and 
Health, “Neither the doctrine of virgin 
birth nor the as yet unenunciated view 
of sex as original sin played any part in 
ng the thinking of St. Paul, whose 
tation of celibacy was so impor- 
tant in determining Christianity's entire 
subsequent attitude and history. His 
eschatology, with its anticipation of the 
imminent, cataclysmic end of the world, 
and his personal preference for the un- 
married state, probably an overreaction 
nst the sexual promiscuity of his 
times, were probably the most important 
factors underlying his viewpoint.” John 
Short writes of Paul, in The Interpreter's 
Bible, “Obviously the marriage relation- 
ship did not appeal to him. . . [he] seems 
to have regarded the more intimate sex 
relationship with some distaste. He is of 
the definite opinion that it is better for 
Christians to follow his personal example, 
and remain unmarried.” St. Paul had an 
extreme! ltridden and pessimistic 
view of both man and sex: he wrote, “Itis 
well for a man not to touch a woman"; 
nd further, “For 1 know that in me 
cdiwelleth no good thing . .. For the good 
that I would do, I do not; but the cvil 
which ] would not. that I do. . . . Oh 
wretched man that I am! Who shall de- 
liver me from the body of this death 

But St. Paul's antisexualism was sli 


compared to the twisted 
thought followed 
Graham Cole, while Ch 


Department of Rel liams Col- 
lege, wrote in his book Sex in Christianity 
and Psychoanalysis, "Al unwittingly [St. 
Paul] marked the transition point be- 
tween the healthy and positive attitude 
toward the body which characterized the 
Old Testament and Jesus, and the nega 
tive dualism which increasingly colored 
the thought of the Church. . .. Although 
in most other respects the Church success- 
fully defended the ramparts of natural- 


ism. the citadel of sex fell to the enemy. 
Increasingly, virginity became a cardinal 
virtue, marriage a concession to the weak 
-..sex had become an evil necessity for 
the propagation of the race, to be avoided 
nd denied by the spiritually stron 
Even those who were ‘consumed with 
passion’ were urged not to marry. to d 
cipline themselves, to mortify the flesh, 
for the flesh was evil. .. .” 

Henry C. Lea, author of the classic 
English studies on the Inquisition, wrote 
in his History of Sacerdotal Celibacy, 
“[Jesus’] profound wisdom led him to for- 
bear from enjoining even the asceticism 
of the Essenes. He allowed a moderate 
enjoyment of the gifts of the Creator: and 
when he sternly rebuked the Scribes and 
Pharisees for imposing . . . burdens upon 
men not easily to be borne by the weak- 
ness of human nature, he was far indeed 
ing to render obligatory, or 
to recommend, practices which only 
the fervor of fanaticism could render 
endurable.” 

Early Judaism accepted sex as а natural 
part of human existence. Lehrman states 
that premarital virginity and extrem 
ital fidelity were “not demanded of 
Hebrew men, Prostitution, both sacred 
and profane, existed in Isracl and the 

use of captured women was also 
specifically permitted, although limitcd." 
Morton M. Hunt writes, in The Natural 
History of Love, "Men in the Old T 
ment were patriarchal and powerful, 
often guililessly enjoyed the services of 
several wives cs" Lehrman 
states further, “Because the bear 
children was regarded as such a blessing, 
dying in the virgin state was considered 
unfortunate rather than desirable, . . . 
Sexuality and eating would . . . seem to 
have been regarded. rather similarly by 
the Old Testament. It permanently for- 
ade certain types of food and of sexual- 
у, and sometimes temporarily prohibited 
all eating and sexual activity. Permanent 
and coral sexual abstention seems to have 
been as foreign to its thinking, however, 
as permanent and total abstention from 
food. 

“Although sexuality was accepted with- 
out question throughout carly Biblical 
times, and in the Mosaic code in particu- 
lar, various aspects of the latter have

given rise to the er опсон: belief that the 
Ola ‘Testament i: 
m appears to be altogether foreign to 
the waditions of Isracl,” 

David Mace writes, in his Hebrew 
The entire positive attitude 
h the Hebrews adopted 
n unexpected d 
had not realized that it had its roots 

sentially ‘clean’ conception of the essen- 
tal goodness of the sexual function. This 
is something very difficult for us to grasp» 
ared as in a tradition 
which has produced in many minds the 
idea that sex is essentially sinful... . 

Roman society was sexually liberal and 
this turned the Christians away from sex 
toward asceticism; the first Christians 
were a persecuted people and the religion 
arly developed a masochistic nature 
which it has never completely shaken. 
Roman society had also tended to up- 
grade the status of women, compared to 
carlicr times, and Ira L, Reiss, Professor 
of Sociology at Bard College, states in his 
book, Premarital Sexual Standards in 
America, “The Christians opposed from 
the beginning the new changes in the 
family and in female status. . . . They 
fought the emancipation of women and 
the casier divorce laws. They demanded 
а return to the older and stricter . . . 
ideas, and beyond this, they instituted a 
very low regard for sexual relations and 
for marriage. . . . Ultimately, these early 
Christians of the first few centuries ac 
corded marriage, family life, women, and 
sex the lowest status of any known cul- 
ture in the world. 

Sexual liberalism has often erroneously 
n cited as the cause of the fall of the 
Empire. Concerning this, Hunt 


Marriage, 


ve been 


we 


writes, “By the Fifth Centu y, Saint 
Augustine and other Christian writers 
would state flatly that sexual sin was di 


rectly responsible for the crumbling away 
of the Empire, the afllictions of which 
were interpreted as the pi hment vis- 
ited upon mankind by a wrathful God. 
The evidence of comparative anthro- 
pology, however, proves that many socie- 
ties have permitted extramarital sexual 
activities and love affairs without major 
damage to themselves. Historians 
diller with the early Chr 
ing the role of love in the overall decline 
of Rome 

Hunt then enumerates the п 
often adduced by historians for Rome's 
decline:"... the squandering of resources, 
the indolence of the proletariat, the cor- 
ruption and greed of the upper classes, 
the growing political power of the army 
... more generally, these arc all related 


to the parasitism, excessive leisure, and 
purposclessness of imperial Roman life. 
As Christianity spread, so did its 


antisexuality. Following the Babylonian 
Exile, Judaism developed related repres- 
sions and feclings of sexual guilt and 
shame previously unknown in Hebrew 


history. Hunt states, “A growing current 
of asceticism and. antifemini: 
fested itself. By the Fifth 
increasing cynicism and we 
aflected the Western Empire as well as 
the Eastern, maturing into a widespread 
soul-sicknes: Oriental, Jewish, and 
Darbar ideas were mingled and fused 
with the Christian contempt for women; 
the concept of the wile that of an 

ferior and sinful creature. .. . It is true 
in all monogamous family life that chil 
dren must repress the sexual impulses 
they feel toward the parents they love; 
but it was early Christianity that made a 
philosophy of the situation and turned it 
into a lifelong problem, rather than a 


problem of childhood alone.” 
raham Cole states, "If Chris- 
tianity had not in some measure spoken 


in accents to which the car of the age 
was attuned, it would have remained an 
obscure sect. .. . Origen castrated himself 
in order to escape the temptations of lust: 
John Chrysostom declared that ‘virgini 
greatly superior to ma and Ter- 
tullian regarded. sex cven within mar- 
riage as sinful.” 

Hunt comments, “The struggle 
lust produced an explosive state of mind; 
the personality could be held together 
only by the tenacious cement of irra 
‘The desert fathers saw and worked 
litle miracles every day. In themselves, 
these sound harmless enough, but the 
same intellectual orientation could lead 
further, and did; not by mere coinci- 
dence, it was a towering figure of asce 
Tertullian, whose formula for 
finding the truth. of Christianity was 
Credo quia absurdum (1 believe because 
is absurd), while Pope Gregory — later 
inted and called ‘the Great — burned 
the Palatine library because he со 
sidered it a hindrance to Bible study. 
Asceticism led thus to intolerance, ob- 


scurantism, and overt aggressiveness. The 
ascetic was not content to master himself; 
inevitably his route led him to try to 


master other men's flesh, and their minds 
as well.” 

In such a time, it was not illogical for 
the Church to rewrite religious history to 
antisexual attitude, including the 
story of Adam and Eve and their Fall in 
the Garden of Eden. Cole states, “The 
preponderance of theological opinion, in 
both Jewish and Christian circles, has 
interpreted the Original Sin as pride and 
rebellion ag зой. The Church's 
negative attitude toward sex has misled 
many into belief that the Bible portrays 
man’s Fall as erotic in origin. Neither the 
Bible itself nor the history of 
thought substantiates such a be 

The twisting of the tale of man’s Fall 
from Paradise to suit the Church's obses- 
sive concern over sex helped St. Augus- 
tine and others substantiate the ideal of 
cc су. Roland Н. Bainton comments 
upon St. Augustine's attitude toward sex 


in What Christianity Says About Sex, Love 
and Marriage: "Since procreation is defi- 
nitely approved, the sexual act cannot be 
wrong. Nevertheless, it is never without

without passion, 
and passion is wrong. If we could have 
ay, we would refr 
ly from sex. Since we c 
regretfully, Augustine 
cator had cont

particularly the sexual passion, is thor 
oughly un-Biblical...." 

The new Church concept of the Е 
also suited its antifcmale attitude, since 
Eve who tempted Adam into 
g the “forbidden fruit." rtullian 
proclaimed to all of womanhood: “Do 
you not know that cach one of you is an 
Eve? The sentence of God on this sex of 
yours lives in this age: the guilt must of 
necessity live, too. You are the De 
gateway ... you are she who persu 
him whom the Devil was mot valiant 
cnough to attack. . . 

Nor were such attitudes held by 
members of the clergy only. Robert Brif- 
fault states, “These views were not, as 
has been sometimes represented, excep- 
tions and the extreme. . . . [The Fathers 
of the Church] were one and all agreed. 
-.. The principles of the Fathers were 
confirmed by decrees of synods, and а 
embodied in the canon of the Counci 
of Trent.” 

John Langdon-Davies states, in his 
Short History of Women, “To read the 
early Church Fathers is to feel sometimes 
that they had never heard of the Naza- 
rene, except as a peg on which to hang 
their own tortured diabolism, 
ik scroll upon which to 
ious misogyny.” Havelock ЕШ

placed the Church in the position of be- 
ing the sole licensor of se: 

As we described in detail last month, 
the Medieval Church wielded this power 
mercilessly. The Church Fathers increas- 
ingly codified every aspect of sexual be- 
havior to the point where only coitus 
between man and wile, for the p 


tion, was conside: 
ural.” In some of the penitential books, 


fornication was declared a worse crime 


than murder. Attempting to fornicate, 
kissing, even thinking about fornication, 
were all forbidden 


and called for penal- 
ties; nor was intention a necessary requi 
site for sin, for involuntary noctum 
emissions were considered sinful: the of- 
fender had to rise at once and sing seven 
penitential psalms, with an additional 30 
in the morning. Sex was also restricted to 
certain days of the week and times of the 
year: G. Rauray Taylor states, in his Sex 
in History, that at one time in the Mid- 
dle Ages, “the Church forbade sexual 
relations — even between man and wife 
— for the equivalent of five months out 
of every year.” 

Celibacy remained the ideal, though it 
did not become universally required of 
the clergy until the 11th. Century; and 
this, Lehrman indicates, “was more the 
result of political than psychological or 
even theological factors.” Seward Hilter, 
in Sex and Religion Today, asserts that 
this enforcement of sacerdotal celibacy 
among the secular clergy “was not pri- 
marily a sexual matter, but a strategic 
and political attempt to enhance the 
power of the Roman Church by relieving 
priests of the distractions of family life.” 

Our modern idealization of 
romantic love cvolved from the concept 
of “courtly love” developed by a school 


of poets, called troubadours, dur the 
Middle Ages. In contrast to the Church 
attitude, which still considered the female 
the primary source of sin, the troubadours 


placed woman on a pedestal. This, too, 
was a primarily antisexual concept, re- 
placing honest sexuality with a compli- 
cated ritual i h the emphasis w 

placed more on the wooing of a won 
than on winning her. L'amour courtois 
was, according to Hunt, а compel- 
ionship which could exist only 
a man and a woman not married

The Church enjoyed increasing influ- 
ence over all of society throughout the 
Middle Ages. Without the protections of 
a separated church and state, Church law 
became — in many instances — civil law as 
well; and any opposition to Church doc 
trine and authority was vigorously prose- 
cuted as heresy.

and the clergy who sat as judges at the

about the sexual habits of the accused. 
R. H. Robbins includes a typical list of 
atory questions that was "used by 
the judges at Colmar, in Alsace, year alter

the witch mania. It was headed: "Ques-

therein were, "Who was the one you

Hunt states: “... in the opinion of 
several eminent psychiatrists who have 
intensively and independently studied 
the evidence, the descriptions of the 
witches’ Sabbath bear the unmistakable 
characteristics of abnormal sexual fan- 
tasies, which the celibate Inquisitors 
eagerly, even hungrily, seized upon and 
accepted as objectively real.” 

A. Guirdham offers а further psycho- 
nalytic consideration of this phase of 
Christianity in his book, Christ and 
Freud, in which he states: “Modern 
psychiatry p to sec that the 
Inquisitors were themselves, below the 
conscious level, afflicted with doubts. Men 
so doubting, and reacting with guilt 
toward their uncertainty, could atone 
and reassure themselves either by the 
punishment of themselves or others, The 
flagellants were recruited from the for- 
mer, and the Inquisitors from the latter 
class. 

Why should Christianity be based, to 
ree itis, on a sense of guilt? What, 
in common between

crudities of tribal religion? Do we exag-

In the Di ag Churches, there is less 
insistence on the verbal ritual of guilt 
and penitence, but the Nonconformist 
psychology reveals itself as riddled with 
guilt [also] which expresses itself in 
clinical terms. .. . 

To induce such a sense of guilt was 
a partly political aim, the maintenance of

Such a policy . . . ensured that the priests 
should be the guardians of the public

which, if not entirely characteristic of the

seems a further rejection of the rigid

who sparked this new religious move- 
ment proved more fanatical and totali-

alive in Rome. They objected not only 
to the corruption that had permeated 


the Ro archy, but to the more 
liberal sexual morality that had de- 
veloped, both inside and outside the 
Church, and they set about doing 
something about it— with frightening

character of Calvin's doctrine is evident 
in his Institutes of the Christian Reli- 
gion, as when he quotes with approval 
Chr "The world shall rejoice 
but ye shall weep and lament.” and then 
asks, “Do not our innumerable and daily 
sgressions deserve more severe and 
grievous chastisements than those which 

inflicts on us? Is it not high-

the yoke, lest it should brcak out, accord- 
ing to propensities, into lawless 
excesses?” And we no longer need a 


psychiatric footnote to inform us that 
the forbidden “excesses,” 
men had to be protected, concerned “the 
licentiousness of the flesh, which unless it 
igidly restrained, transgresses every 
bound. 

Taylor states, "So terrible were thc 
forces of guilt and destructiveness an 
mating Calvin, that he not only revived 
Augustine's doctrine of predestination, 
but carried it to an even more fearful 
extreme, and resolutely condemned to 
cternal torment, not only 
died before baptism, but 
non-Christian countries — 
course, all persons living prior to the 
of Christ.” As E. Troeltsch points out, in 
Protestantism and Progress, the doctrine 
of predestination precludes 
the po: y of divine intervention, love 
or mercy — psychologically, it is the re- 
action of one who, having been treated. 
with cruelty as а child (which Cal 
doubtedly was), reacts by suppressi 
own natural instincts of tenderness. 

It is therefore quite understandable 
that John vin constructed at Gi 
what Taylor terms "probably the strictest 
theocratic society ever devised, and treated 
with savage severity all those who held 
views opposed to his own." In Calvin's 
world, not only were fornication and 
adultery strictly prohibited, but so were 
even the mildest forms of spontancity.

England has had her sexual ups and

price of sexual repression and hypocrisy 
that came with the Puritan Revolution. 
English Puritanism was derived largely,

alvin and in Scand, John Knox

the monarchy and the execution of King 
Charles I in 1649; for more than a decade 
England was kingless and was under the 
rule of the Puritan Commonwealth and 


the Protectorate. Oliver Cromwell was 
virtual ruler of the country until his 
1658. Pui rule proved far

Even before the Purit

to regulate behavior in various less obvi-

“Puritan Sunday,” from which we derive 
our own Blue Laws. (Puritan Sunday was

Stuarts continued this tradition

But between 1645 and 1650 there wi 
a series of acts, ordinances and proclami-

the House of Commons observed, "Let a 
1 be i posture he will, your 
lty finds him." 
The Puritans opposed dancing, drink- 
ports, games, ca 
mumming, and all other pleasurable pur- 
suits and pastimes, as well as idleness, 
since the wasting of time was as serious 
as the wasting of moncy. Theirs was an 
austere, strict. and restrictive 
theology — pattern of prohibitions

of two subconscious fears: a fear of 
pleasure amd a fear of spontaneity— 
rooted in the Puritan belief that only 
through dose supervi d control 
could they hope to keep man's baser 
nature in check — that if left unchecked 
and to itself, anything might happen. 


“And it was primarily this fear of spon- 


ion 


tancity and feeling,” Taylor suggests, 
“which caused the Puritans to object to 


nd richness of decoration, and 
hence to insist on sober clothing and 
bleak churches. . . ."

to ignore this law, they were arrested and

any kind was prohibited on the Lord's 
Day and some objected to the prepa 
of roast meat for Sunday dinner — 
which kitchen maids quickly followed by 
declaring 0 was sinful to wash the 
dishes on that day, also. 

Cromwell was hostile to art, learning 
and, most of all, the democratic process. 
The р pproval of free inquiry 
is also illustrated by the Puritan condem- 
nation, a few years later, of the Royal 
ty for the Advancement of Science

In Mrs. Grundy, Leo Markun wrote, 
“The Scottish ministers identified the 
natural with the sinful. , . . The ministers 
called on their parishioners to live in 
such a way as to please a jealous divinity 
who could not approve of frolicsome 
conduct, who would surely send a dread- 

ague if wedding guests danced and 
joked and enjoyed themselves in the 
good old Scottish way. The Reverend

carefully to be avoided, because they both

harshest of penalties. For adultery and

WHAT SORT OF MAN READS PLAYBOY? 


A young man on the way up, and up on what he downs, the PLAYBOY reader is a masterful mixer who prefers 
being sold on a brand before he stirs. Facts: Whether enjoying a pre-dinner cocktail or capping off an evening with 
a cordial entente, 88.975 of PLAYBOY readers order drinks in a restaurant or bar at least once weekly. Living life 
with the “best of spirits," 95.4% of all PLAYBOY households drink or serve alcoholic beverages. And with a high 
median household income ($10,574), it's apparent he can afford to pick up the tab. Put your stock in PLAYBOY— 
it definitely sells the decision makers. (Source: 1962 Playboy Male Reader Survey by Benn Management Corp.)

NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!!! 


Act NOWI 
This Offer May Never Be Repeated!!! 


Incredible though it may seem, the above offer is 
completcly legitimate. More than 40,000,000 Americans 
are alrcady so employed, and—give or take a few 
thousand dollars —all are now enjoying most of the 
promiscd bencfits, 

There's only onc catch to it: No men need apply. 

The offer is addressed solely to single American 
women, and represents the unspoken, undefined, but 
strongly subliminal sales appeal presently contained in 
the age-old male proposal: “Will you marry me?” 

Add to the many listed inducements the legal guaran- 
tcc of exclusive sexual rights, innumerable opportunities 
for emotional self-expression, and the prospect of achiev- 
ing psychological dominion over опе to a dozen other 
human beings — and we can begin to understand, per- 
haps, why more than a million-and-a-half American 
women annually consent to “give up everything” for 
the sake of marriage. 

More difficult to understand, however, is the bound- 
Jess altruism of the million-and-a-half American men 
who annually make such offers, and the strange sense of 
humility which causes them to feel fortunate and grate- 
ful to have such offers accepted. 

“But there are such things as Love and Romance,” a 
feminine voice is certain to remind us at this point. 

And, indeed, there are. Few American men would 
deny the power of those soaring emotions, or minimize 
the mysterious enchantments of soul and psyche that 
transform their bachelor brethren into husbands at the 
average rate of something like 30,000 a week. The very 
concepts of romantic love and devotion are, as we know, 
masculine creations which have been sung and cele 
brated by male poets, novelists, composers and play- 


wrights for at least 600 years, And in no century or land 
have these concepts been held in such universal esteem 
as in 20th Century America, 

So sacrosanct is our belief in the idea of “marrying 
for love,” that many Americans are totally unaware that 
marriage can have any other basis. “It will come as а 
surprise to many people to learn that this emphasis upon 
romantic attraction as the basis for marriage has not 
always existed,” Dr. James H. S. Brossard, of the Uni- 
yersity of Pennsylvania, wrote in a recent sociological 
study of Ritual in Family Living. “Not that romantic 
love is a new idea, for strong emotional attraction be- 
tween individuals of opposite sex is obviously as old as 
the human heartbeat. What is new is the relative place 
accorded to romance. . . . The romantic complex, as it is 
often called, came into our Western culture with the 
French troubadours of the 12th and 13th Centuries, and 
has reached its most exalted position in recent American 
literature and practice, until today it emerges as the 
accepted cornerstone of the marriage relationship. 
Taking a worldwide view, and considered in the retro- 
spect of time, romance as the basis of marriage is a 
relatively new social experiment, still confined to a 
minority of the world’s peoples. Like the romantic stories 
of the ‘pulp’ magazines, it will be interesting to sce 
how it comes out.’ ” 

While awaiting the final payoff to this unique and 
noble experiment with human lives, an unexpected 
glimpse into some of the curious consequences that 
romantic marriage imposes upon the American male was 
recently forced upon my attention by the sudden loss of 
а young male cousin to marriage. The cousin, Jim, an 
outgoing and idealistic young man of high promise in 
his chosen profession, had, it seems, fallen victim to a 
deep-seated romantic complex centering about an attrac 
tive young schoolteacher in his native Cleveland, and 
after a brief summer courtship had announced to friends 
and family that he would have said girl to be his lawful- 
wedded wife, to love, comfort, honor and keep, in sick- 
ness and in health, till death did them part. When the 
date was set, Jim wrote me a buoyant note in which he 
expressed the hope that I would be on hand to serve as 
an usher at the ceremony, and otherwise rally round in 
support. 1 gave him my promise, and arrived in Cleve: 
land two days early, prepared to cheer and bolster the 


prospective groom — a needless task, as it developed, for 
the poor chap was already in a state of nearmanic 
euphoria as he rushed happily about, ticking off the 
various prenuptial chores outlined in a “groom's check 
list" contained in the winter issue of a large but lady- 
like periodical called Modern Bride. 

"Where the devil did you get that?" I asked, lapsing 
into strong language at the sight of a formally attired 
groom nuzzling the brunette bangs of a smiling young 
bride on the cover.

THIS 15 BOTH THE YEAR OF THE RABBIT and the Year of the Quarterback. Modern football, like modern warfare, is 
dependent upon an effective air attack. You don't necessarily win with it, but you certainly can't win without it. 
In recognizing this gridiron fact of strife, college coaches have been combing the back country for sharpshooting 
passers, and the fruition of their efforts is on display in stadiums everywhere. Never before has there been such an 


impressive galaxy of superquarterbacks. At least a dozen would have been uncontested All-America selections a few 
years back, but this season all but one or two will be merely also-rans. Final choices, as in most All-America compcti- 
tions, will depend largely on the won-lost records of the teams and how well the local drum beaters do their jobs. 
When once asked what makes an All-American, Grantland Rice answered, “Seven good linemen to do the blocking 
and a poet in the press box.” 

The cra of the fabulous passer in college football has been brought on by the box-office-and-TV competition 
of the professional teams. Fans, accustomed to secing the wide-open thunder-and-lightning style of the pros, have 
grown bored with the grinding defense-oriented college teams that were so prevalent a few seasons ago. 

Even those Southern schools which specialized in ultraconservative, defense-dominated play are being forced 
to accept evolution, and this fall the bourbon-and-branch-water brigade will be treated to the finest display of

in love, what counts is the feeling, not the appearance, and no one could take that away from him 


ERMINIO, A COUSIN OF MINE from Viterbo, had come to Rome for the first time and wanted to see everything and 
everybody; І had to show him round, and one evening I suggested we should go to the cinema. We were in Piazza 
Mastai, so I went over to the kiosk with the intention of buying a newspaper to see what was playing. Fiammetta, 
the newspaper seller, was just shutting up to go home; however, as a favor to me, she slipped a paper out of a 
bundle and gave it to me, saying: “If you look at it quickly, I'll take it back without making you pay for it." So I 
opened the paper, saying to Erminio: “It doesn't look to me as if there is anything much”; then all at once I realized 
that he was paying no attention to me but gazing instead at Fiammetta. Have you ever seen Fiammetta? If you 
haven't, go to Piazza Mastai and there you'll see a big kiosk all decked out with newspapers and magazines, and 
amongst all these papers and magazines, a little sort of proscenium formed also of papers and magazines, and, 
inside the proscenium, a woman's face, of a most lovely oval shape, surrounded with big fair curls, with blue eyes, 
a tiny little nose and charming red lips. It looks like the face of a doll, of the kind that turn up their eyes, show their 
little teeth and say “Papa” and “Momma.” It is Fiammetta's face, and generally it is bent over some illustrated 
magazine: as she spends her whole day among papers and magazines, she has acquired the habit of reading. But 
tell her you want such-and-such a magazine that is not within reach but hanging up outside; and then she will 
come out of the kiosk, rather like a puppet showman out of his box, backward, and you'll be astonished that all 
this profusion of delights can sit huddled together on the little chair amongst the bundles of printed paper. For 
Fiammetta has a shapely, rounded figure, just like a beautiful doll with all its parts turned to perfection — arms, 
shoulders, hips, legs, et cetera. A rare beauty is Fiammetta; who does not know her? And who does not know that 

she has been betrothed for years to Ettore, the barman at the café in Piazza Mastai, who, from his counter, can 
keep his eye on her through the window at all hours of the day? Everyone knows it, everyone, that is, except a 
person like Erminio, who does not belong to the quarter or even to Rome but to Viterbo. 

Well then, seeing that he was paying no attention to me but gazing at Fiammetta with desire clearly depicted 
upon his face, I said, with teeth clenched: "Fiammetta, let me introduce my cousin Erminio." Fiammetta was 
making a pile of newspapers inside the kiosk; however, she came out and shook Erminio by the hand, turning upon 
him a dazzling smile and at the same time throwing him a caressing look from her big blue eyes— a piece of feminine 
coquettishness which Fiammetta lavished on everyone and of which, for some time, nobody had taken particular 
notice. But Erminio did not know this and was immediately excited by it, as I saw from his troubled expression. 
Fiammetta now closed the kiosk and was just on the point of picking up from the (continued on page 184) 101

BEEFING IT UP 


for your steering committee—subtle, savory variations on that most masculine of meats 
food BY THOMAS MARIO 


MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE BEEFEATERS tend toward split culinary personalities. In their dub dining rooms, they call for 
planked steaks and sizzling steaks, for Delmonicos and Chateaubriands, for filets and contre-filets. But when the 
black ties arc tossed aside in favor of chef's caps, carnivorous men more often than not turn to slices of juicy beef 
brisket astride wedges of new cabbage, to German Sauerbraten and beef stew in burgundy, Old World dishes for 
which devotees always have been willing and able to perform a cook's tour of fireside duty. In France, it's axiomatic 
that if you scratch an urban gourmet, you'll find a peasant with his pot-au-feu. In this country you may not find a 
peasant, but you'll find a peasant's hearty appetite and, more often than not, his devotion to some traditional 
rural cuisine. 

Rustic beef dishes, those that need lazy simmering in Dutch ovens and deep casseroles, naturally appeal to 
the kind of male chef who doesn’t cook by the minute hand of the clock, who knows how to use a meat mallet, who 
likes to take time out to tinker with exotic herbs, wine sauces and offbeat marinades. He's wise enough in the 
ways of hosting to know that the time he spends preparing the strapping, slow-cooking cuts will yield leisure 
dividends during that mellow period between the tinkle of the cocktail shaker and the sound of the dinner gong. 
Pot roasts and stews are always at their best a day or so after cooking. Time gives them that state of grace which 
chefs know simply as blending. 

‘True steermen always chart a course away from any beef cut carrying a suspiciously cheap price tag. They 
keep a weather eye peeled for the U. S. Prime or Choice citations whenever possible. Don't be misled by those who 
say that in the stewpot all grades or cuts of beef can eventually be tamed. Ungraded beef or extremely tough shin 
meat may become soft, but its flavor and texture will remain untoward. Canned corned beef, known as bully beef, 
for instance, is so tender that it collapses rather than forms into slices under the knife. But you wouldn't talk about 
it in the same breath you'd mention the prime, apple-red slices of corned beef that appear in a New England boiled 
dinner or find their way to a heavenly berth between slices of sour rye in the best Broadway bistros. 

Between the ox’ tongue and tail there are dozens of succulent cuts which are destined for the pot rather 
than the roasting pan. Employment of both these utensils results, of course, in the pot roast, It isn't necessary to 
imitate Roman chefs who used to present a whole suckling pig, roasted on one side, boiled on the other. They 
accomplished the feat by covering one side of the animal with a thick, almost impenetrable paste, after which the 
carcass was roasted. Later, the paste was knocked off and the unroasted side of the animal was steamed tender. The 
different culinary languages that spell out the varieties of pot roast are almost infinite in number. Another word 
for the technique is braising. Besides the simple American pot roast, the two best-known versions are the German 
Sauerbraten and the French beef alamode. The basic steps are simple. You take a semitender cut of beef. You nay 
or may not marinate it, depending on whether or not you want the meat imbued with the tart flavor of wine or 
vinegar. You brown the beef in the oven. In this country, too many chefs make the mistake of pan-browning it on 
top of the stove; this results in weak, washed-out color and flavor. When the browning is finished, the meat is 
transferred to a pot and liquid added. The liquid may be almost anything potable — consommé, vinegar, water, 
stock, chicken broth, brandy, beer, red or white wine, champagne, tomato juice, or combinations of these plus 
added spices and vegetables. 

French beef alamode has established something of a longevity record for being in fashion — it's stayed in 
style ever since the 1700s. At that time, a Parisian restaurant owner placed a wooden statue of a bull in front of 
his bistro. To drive home the fact that he was offering what was then fashionable, he dressed his bull with a blue 
scarf and gay ostrich feathers. He marinated his beef in wine, browned it, and then cooked it in a pot with the 
marinade, Modern beef alamode is made the very same way. Sauerbraten, the German version, is marinated some- 
what longer in vinegar and water. 

An even casier diversion than braising for the amateur chef is boiling. Once the knack is acquired, you can 
dispense with recipes and hit the bull's-eye with anything from the combination New England platter of boiled 
fresh beef and corned beef with root vegetables to Henry IV's pot-au-feu, boiled beef with chicken, Actually, 
“boiling”

docile on the carving board and, more 
important, will retain the liquid essence 
that makes it truly beef. 

Before beef is simmered, there's a small 
sacrificial step called blanching. You 
simply place the meat in a por with cold 
water, bring it up to the boiling point, 
and then throw off the water. It’s a ki 
of cleansing operation, before the meat is 
committed to its final rite in the pot, that 
purges the meat and its stock of any off- 
flavors that might have been lurking on. 
the surface. You test boiled beef for 
tenderness by plunging a two-pronged 
fork into it in several places. When it's 
ready, you should be able to withdraw the 
fork without any undue tug of war. 

One more ploy remains. The instant 
that beef becomes tender is not the pro- 
pitious time to serve it. During the sim- 
mering, beef juices flow into the water. 
To recapture them, let the meat laze 
around in its own stock for an hour 
or so without fire, and it will absorb 
its goodness. 

With boiled beef of any kind — tongue, 
plate, chuck, brisket, short ribs or what 
have you—serve horseradish, the kind 
with a real bite. If it doesn’t bring tears 
to the eyes, it's sham horseradish. 

The long, slow simmering session for 
boiled bect offers a perfect opportunity to 
chill a half-dozen bottles of beer or ale. 
When beef comes to the table in a sauce, 
as in the pot roasts, stews and casseroles, 
it would be hard to imagine better com- 
pany for it than a robust California red 
like cabernet sauvignon or pinot noir.

th to fulfill his promise 


fiction By RAY BRADBURY 


FILOMENA FLUNG THE PLANK DOOR SHUT with such vio- 
lence the candle blew out; she and her crying children 
were left in darkness. The only things to be seen were 
through the window — the adobe houses, the cobbled 
streets — where now the gravedigger stalked up the hill, 
his spade on his shoulder, moonlight honing the blue 
metal as he turned into the high cold graveyard and 
‘was gone. 

"Mamacila, what's wrong?” Filepe, her oldest son, 
just nine, pulled at her. For the strange dark man had 
said nothing, just stood at the door with the spade and. 
nodded his head, and waited until she banged the door 
in his face. "Mamacita . , . ?" 

“That gravedigger." Filomena's hands shook as she 
relit the candle. “The rent is long overdue on your 
father's grave. Your father will be dug up and placed 
down in the catacomb, with a wire to hold him stand- 
ing against the wall, with the other mummies.” 

“No, Mamacital'" 

“Yes.” She caught the children to her. "Unless we 
find the money. Yes.” 

“I —I will kill that gravedigger!" cried Filepe. 

“Tt is his job. Another would take his place if he died, 
and another and another after him.” 

They thought about the man and the terrible high 
place where he lived and moved and the catacomb he 
stood guard over and the strange earth into which 
people went, to come forth dried like desert flowers and 
tanned like leather for shoes and hollow as drums 
which could be tapped and beaten, an earth which made 
great cigar-brown rustling dry mummies that might 
languish forever leaning like fence poles along the 
catacomb halls. And thinking of all this familiar but 
unfamiliar stuff, Filomena and her children were cold 
in summer, and silent though their hearts made a 
vast stir in their bodies. They huddled together for a 


moment longer and then: 

“Filepe,” said the mother. "Come." She opened the 
door and they stood in the moonlight listening to hear 
any far sound of a blue-metal spade biting the earth, 
heaping the sand and old flowers. But there was a 
silence of stars. "You others," said Filomena, “to bed.” 

The door shut. The candle flickered. 

"The cobbles of the town poured in а river of gleam- 
ing moon silver stone down the hills, past green parks 
and little shops and the place where the coffin maker 
tapped and made the clock sounds of death-watch 
beetles all day and all night, forever in the life of these 
people. Up along the slide and rush of moonlight on 
the stones, her skirt whispering of her need, Filomena 
hurried with Filepe breathless at her side. They turned 
in at the Official Palace. 

"The man behind the small, littered desk in the dimly 
lit office glanced up in some surprise. “Filomena, my 
cousin!” 

“Ricardo.” She took his hand and dropped it. “You 
must help me.” 

“If God does not prevent; but ask.” 

“They —" The bitter stone lay in her mouth; she 
tried to get it out, "— Tonight they are taking Juan 
from the earth." 

Ricardo, who had half-risen, now sat back down, his 
eyes growing wide and full of light, and then narrow- 
ing and going dull. “If not God, then God's creatures 
prevent. Has the year gone so swiftly since Juan's death? 
Can it truly be the rent has come due?" He opened his 
empty palms and showed them to the woman. “Ah, 
Filomena, I have no money." 

"But if you spoke to the gravedigger. You are the 
police." 

"Filomena, Filomena, the law stops at the edge of 


the grave...” 

“But if he will give me 10 weeks, only 10, it is almost 
the end of summer. The Day of the Dead is coming. I 
will make, I vill sell, the candy skulls, and give him the 
money; oh, please, Ricardo." 

And here at last because there was no longer a way 
to hold the coldness in and she must let it free before it 
froze her so she could never move again, she put her 
hands to her face and wept. And Filepe, seeing that it 
was permitted, wept, too, and said her name over 
and over. 

"So," said Ricardo, rising. “Yes, yes. I will walk to 
the mouth of the catacomb and spit into it. But, ah, 
Filomena, expect no answer. Not so much as an echo. 
Lead the way.” And he put his official cap, very old, 
very greasy, very worn, upon his head. 

The graveyard was higher than the churches, higher 
than all the buildings, higher than all the hills. It lay 
on the highest rise of all, overlooking the night valley 
of the town. 

As they entered the vast ironwork gate and advanced 
among the tombs, the three were confronted by the 
sight of the gravedigger's back, bent into an ever- 
increasing hole, lifting out spade after spade of dry 
dirt onto an ever-increasing mound. The digger did 
not even look up, but made a quiet guess as they stood 
at the grave's edge: 

“Is that Ricardo Albanez, the chief of police?” 

“Stop digging!" said Ricardo. 

The spade flashed down, dug, lifted, poured. “There 
is a funeral tomorrow. This grave must be empty, open 
and ready.” 

“No one has died in the town.” 

"Someone always dies. So I dig. I have already waited 
two months for Filomena to pay what she owes. I am 
a patient man.” 

“Be still more patient." Ricardo touched the moving, 
hunching shoulder of the bent man. 

"Chicf of the police." The digger paused to lean, 
sweating, upon his spade, “This is my country, the 
country of the dead. These here tell me nothing, nor 
does any man, I rule this land with a spade, and a steel 
mind. I do not like the live ones to come talking, to 
disturb the silence I have so nicely dug and filled. Do I 
tell you how to conduct your municipal palace? Well, 
then. Goodnight.” He resumed his task. 

“In the sight of God,” said Ricardo, standing straight 
and stiff, his fists at his sides, “and this woman and 
her son, you dare to desecrate the husband-father's 
final bed?” 

“It is not final and not his, I but rented it to him.” 
The spade floated high, flashing moonlight. "1 did not 
ask the mother and son here to watch this sad event. 
And listen to me, Ricardo, police chief, one day you 
will die. I will bury you. Remember that: I. You will 
be in my hands, Then, oh, then.” 

“Then, what?” shouted Ricardo. “You dog, do you 
threaten me?” 

"I dig.” The man was very deep now, vanishing in 
the shadowed grave, sending only his spade up to speak 
for him again and again in the cold light. “Goodnight, 
Ѕейот, Senora, nino. Goodnight.” 


Outside her adobe hut, Ricardo smoothed his cousin's 
hair and touched her cheek. “Filomena, ah, God." 

"You did what you could.” 

“That terrible one. When 1 am dead, what awful 
indignities might he not work upon my helpless flesh? 
He would set me upside down in the tomb, hang me 
by my hair in a far, unseen part of the catacomb. He 
takes on weight from knowing someday he will have us 
all. Goodnight, Filomena. No, not even that. For the 
night is bad.” 

He went away down the street. 

Inside, among her many children, Filomena sat with 
face buried in her lap. 

Late the next afternoon, in the tilted sunlight, shriek- 
ing, the schoolchildren chased Filepe home; he fell, 
they circled him, laughing. 

“Filepe, Filepe, we saw your father today, yes!” 

"Where?" they asked themselves, shyly. 

"In the catacomb!" they gave answer. 

“What a lazy man! He just stands еге!” 

“He never works!” 

“He don't speak! Oh, that Juan Diaz!” 

Filepe stood violently atremble under the blazing sun, 
hot tears streaming from his wide and half-blinded eyes. 

Within the hut, Filomena heard, and the knife 
sounds entered her heart. She leaned against the cool 
wall, wave after dissolving wave of remembrance 
sweeping her. 

In the last month of his life, agonized, coughing, 
and drenched with midnight perspirations, Juan had 
stared and whispered only to the raw ceiling above 
his straw mat. 

“What sort of man am I to starve my children and 
hunger my wife? What sort of death is this, to die in 
bed?" 

"Hush." She placed her cool hand over his hot mouth. 
But he talked beneath her fingers. "What has our 
marriage been but hunger and sickness and now noth- 
ing. Ah, God, you are a good woman, and now I leave 
you with no money even for my funeral!” 

And then at last, he had clenched his teeth and cried 
out at the darkness and become very quiet in the warm 
candleshine and taken her hands into his own and held 
them and sworn an oath upon them, vowed himself 
with religious fervor: 

“Filomena, listen. I will be with you. Though I have 
not protected in life, I will protect in death. Though 
I fed not in life, in death I will bring food. Though I 
was poor I will not be poor in the grave. This I know. 
This I cry out. This I assure you. In death I will work 
and do many things. Do not fear. Kiss the little ones. 
Filomena. Filomena . , ." 

And then he had taken a deep breath, a final thing, 
like one who settles beneath warm waters. And he had 
launched himself gently under, still holding his breath, 
for a testing of endurance through all eternity, They 
waited a long time for him to exhale. But this hc 
did not do. He did not reappear above the surface of. 
life again. His body lay like a waxen fruit on the mat, 
a surprise to the touch. Like a wax apple to the teeth, 
so was Juan Diaz to all their senses. 

And they took him away to the dry earth which was 
like the greatest mouth of all which held him a long 


time, draining the bright moistures of his life, drying 
him like ancient manuscript paper, until he was a 
mummy as light as chaff, an autumn harvest ready for 
the wind, 

From that time until this, the thought had come and 
come again to Filomena, how will I feed my lost chil- 
dren: with Juan burning to brown crepe in a silver- 
tinseled box, how lengthen my children’s bones and 
push forth their teeth in smiles and color their cheeks? 

The children screamed again, outside, in happy pur- 
suit of Filepe. 

Filomena looked to the distant hill, up which bright 
tourists’ cars hummed bearing many people from the 
United States. Even now they paid a peso each to that 
dark man with the spade so they might step down 
through his catacombs among the standing dead, to 
see what the sun-dry earth and the hot wind did to all 
bodies in this town. 

Filomena watched the tourists’ cars and Juan's voice 
whispered, “Filomena.” And again, “This I cry out. In 
death I will work... I will not be poor... Filomena...” 
His voice ghosted away. And she swayed and was almost 
ill, for an idea had come into her mind which was new 
and terrible and made her heart pound. “Filepel” she 
cried, suddenly. 

And Filepe escaped the jeering children and shut the 
door on the hot white day and said, “Yes, Mamacita?" 

“Sit, nino, we must talk, in the name of the saints, 
we must!” She felt her face grow old because the soul 
grew old behind it, and she said, very slowly, with 
difficulty: 

“Tonight, we must go in secret to the catacomb——” 

“Shall we take a knife—" Filepe smiled wildly, 
“—and kill the dark man?” 

“No, no, Filepe, listen——” 

And he heard the words that she spoke. 

And the hours passed and it was a night of churches. 
It was a night of bells, and singing. Far off in the air 
of the valley you could hear voices chanting the eve- 
ning Mass, you could see children walking with lit 
candles, in a solemn file, way over there on the side of 
the dark hill, and the huge bronze bells were tilting 
up and showering out their thunderous crashes and 
bangs that made the dogs spin, dance, and bark on 
the empty roads. 

The graveyard lay glistening all whiteness, all marble 
snow, all sparkle and glitter of harsh gravel like an 
eternal fall of hail, crunching under their feet as 
Filomena and Filepe took their shadows with them, 
ink-black and constant from the unclouded moon. They 
glanced over their shoulders in apprehension, but no 
one cried Halt! They had seen the gravedigger drift, 
made footless by shadow, down the hill, in answer to 
a night summons. Now: “Quick, Filepe, the lock!” 
‘Together they inserted a long metal rod between pad- 
lock hasps and wooden doors which lay flat to the dry 
earth, Together they seized and pulled. The wood split. 
The padlock hasps sprang loose. Together they raised 
the huge doors and flung them back, rattling. Together 
they peered down into the darkest most-silent night of 
all. Below, the catacomb waited. 

Filomena straightened her shoulders and took a 
breath, 

“One.” 


And put her foot upon the first step. 


In the adobe of Filomena Diaz, her children slept, 
sprawled here or there in the cool night room, comfort- 
ing each other with the sound of their warm breathing. 

Suddenly their eyes sprang wide. 

Footsteps, slow and halting, scraped the cobbles out- 
side. The door shot open. For an instant the silhouettes 
of three people loomed in the white evening sky beyond 
the door. One child sat up and struck a match. 

“Nol” Filomena snatched out with one hand to claw 
the light. The match fell away. She gasped. The door 
slammed. The room was solid black. To this blackness 
Filomena said at last: 

“Light no candles. Your father has come home.” 


The thudding, the insistent knocking and pounding 
shook the door at midnight. 

Filomena opened the door. 

The gravedigger almost screamed in her face, 

“There you arel Thief! Robber!” 

Behind him stood Ricardo, looking very rumpled 
and very tired and very old. “Cousin, permit us, I am 
sorry. Our friend here—” 

“I am the friend of no one,” cried the gravedigger. 
“A lock has been broken and a body stolen. To know 
the identity of the body is to know the thief. I could 
only bring you here. Arrest her.” 

“One small moment, please." Ricardo took the man's 
hand from his arm and turned, bowing gravely to his 
cousin. "May we enter?" 

“There, there!” The gravedigger leapt in, gazed 
wildly about, and pointed to a far wall. “You see?” 

But Ricardo would look only at this woman. Very 
gently he asked her: “Filomena?” 

Filomena’s face was the face of one who has gone 
through a long tunnel of night and has reached the 
other end at last, where lives a shadow of coming day, 
Her eyes were prepared now. Her mouth knew what to 
do, All the terror was gone now, What remained was 
as light as the great length of autumn chaff she had 
carried down the hill with her good son. Nothing more 
could happen to her ever in her life; this you knew 
from how she held her body as she said: 

“We have no mummy here.” 

"I believe you, Cousin, but —" Ricardo cleared his 
throat uneasily and raised his eyes. "—What stands 
there against the wall?" 

“To celebrate the festival of the Day of the Dead 
Ones," Filomena did not turn to look where he was 
looking, "I have taken paper and flour and wire and 
clay and made of it a life-size toy which looks like the 
mummies.” 

“Have you indeed done this?” asked Ricardo, 
impressed. 

“No, nol” The gravedigger almost danced in 
exasperation. 

“With your permission.” Ricardo advanced to con- 
front the figure which stood against the wall. He raised 
his flashlight. "So," he said. "And so." 

Filomena looked only out the open door into the 
late moonlight. “The plan I have for this mummy 
which I have made with my own hands is good —" 

“What plan, what?!” the gravedigger demanded, 
turning. (continued on page 180)

PIGSKIN PREVIEW 


handedly reducing the game to an animal 
level. This is nonsense. The Bear simply 
has done a better job of teaching terror 
tactics than his competitors. It is ridicu- 
lous to place the whole blame for the 
recent emphasis on brutality on onc man. 
Nearly everyone connected with the 
game shares some of the blame: the slow- 
witted politicians in state legislatures 
and Babbitt-brained alumni who hold 
the purse strings and who scream for a 
winning football team; the university 
administrations who hire a football coach 
at a salary twice that of an associate pro- 
fessor and tell him to produce a winning 
football team — or else; the college-admis- 
sion boards which accept an all-state high- 
school halfback with flimsy grades in the 
hope that constant tutoring will help him 
survive academically; and even the ath- 
letic-publicity men and sportswriters who 
glorify and idolize the havoc-wreaking 
hard-nosed player. But the greatest 
guilt belongs to the rules makers, who 
spend endless hours relocating goal posts 
and dreaming up newly complex sub- 
stitution rules, but who, until recently, 
have failed to enforce and augment 
unnecessary-roughness penalties. Now, 
with the unpleasant prospect of more- 
frequent roughness penalties, it may 
dawn upon some coaches that defeating 
the opposition is more readily accom- 
plished by speed, skill and surprise than 
by reducing it to a bloody pulp. 

One positive change the rules makers 
got around to this year is the outlawing — 
for all practical purposes — of offensive 
and defensive platoons. Specifically, the 
new regulation makes it impossible to 
substitute more than two players on first 
and fourth downs. Thus, any platoon of 
players — minus two — will have to play 
both offense and defense. The two substi- 
tutions allowed on first and fourth downs 
will, in most cases, be specialists: quarter- 
backs, centers, linebackers, or safety men. 
Needless to say, the vast majority of 
coaches are vociferously unhappy about 
this, but it should be a break for the 
spectators. It will among other things 
give added value to the all-around ath- 
Jete. The “Chinese Bandits” are dead — 
like the flying wedge and the drop kick, a 
sacrifice to a better spectator sport. 

But the most sensible and possibly most 
civilizing change in football in many 
years was effected this spring by repre- 
sentatives of six major conferences who 
finally agreed to limit the pirating of 
each other's recruits. Once a high-school 
athlete signs an interconference letter of 
intent to accept a scholarship at any of 
these schools, he cannot be wooed away 
by any other school. This reduces con- 
siderably the possibility of open-market 


116 bidding for an athlete's services. There is 


(continued from page 98) 


the happy possibility that every major 
conference and most independent schools 
will soon join this agreement. On that 
hopeful note, let's take a prophetic look 
at this year's teams.

It’s going to be the same fearsome four 
in the East this year, with the positions 
slightly reshuffled due to the normal ebb 
and flow of available talent. Heaviest 
attrition, as justice would have it, is suf- 
fered by last year's Eastern champion, 
Penn State. This, together with the im- 
proved opposition, will keep the Nittany 
Lions from taking the Lambert Trophy 
for the third straight time. The Eastern 
title should go instead to Syracuse or 
Pittsburgh, with Navy having an outside 
chance because of an easier schedule. The 
Pitt Panthers look particularly ferocious. 
Bigger and faster than ever, and led 
by crunching fullback Rick Leeson who 
should run over an increasing number of 
solid citizens this year, the Panthers are 
kept from being the oddson favorite only 
by the severity of the opposition. Syracuse 
would look like the Orangemen of five 
years ago were it not for the lack of all 
important speed. Still, the boys from 
Syracuse will probably just overpower 
most of the opposition. 

After finishing in a brilliant burst of 
offensive glory against Army last year, 
Navy should continue in the same man- 
ner behind flashy quarterback Roger 
Staubach. Army, on the other hand, just 
can’t seem to get off the ground. Coach 
Paul Dietzel. expected to be Houdini- 
on-the-Hudson, hasn't as yet worked a 
miracle, much to the disappointment of 
the West Point faithful. And no magical 
changes seem to be imminent. Dietzel, 
who won his reputation with the three- 
platoon system of specialists, finds himself 
in the awkward position of having his 
brainchild all but outlawed by the rules 
committee. So now Dietzel and numerous 


other coaches in the country are busy 
teaching offensive and defensive special- 
ists how to play the other half of the 
game. Army is again faced with a familiar 
West Point puzzlement: Where to find a 
quarterback? So the Cadets in all proba- 
bility will lose to Navy this year for— 
horror of homors—an unprecedented 
fifth straight time. 

It looks like a good year at Colgate 
after quite a long drought. Villanova, 
on the other hand, alter rising from 
oblivion to the heady heights of the 
Liberty Bowl last year, seems consigned 
to its accustomed depths again, but it was 
fun while it lasted. Rutgers also is eager 
to regain the recently acquired taste of 
glory, but won't make it this year. Boston 
University is de-emphasizing — an ivory- 
tower term for throwing in the towel. 
This is the last year the Terriers will play 
the likes of Army, Boston College and 
West Virginia; thereafter they will pit 
themselves against middleclass opposi- 
tion, Boston College, however, is going 
just the other way, and this year probably 
will be better than ever with superb 
quarterbacking by Jack Concannon, Buf- 
falo, recently dignified by elevation to the 
status of a state university, also has 
dreams of gridiron grandeur and may 
soon be one of the major powers in the 
East. The future aside, the Bisons should 
be trampling opposition this year. 

The Ivy League is just as difficult as 
ever to predict. In a circuit with fairly bal- 
anced enrollments and academic stand- 
ards, and with no spring practice as a 
barometer for the future, mass confusion 
generally reigns until the final games of 
the season. This year, despite the loss of 
much of last year's power, Dartmouth 
again should wind up on top. Tom 
Spangenberg is the flashiest halfback in 
the League, and the Indians have the im- 
petus of an 1 l-game winning streak. Best 
bets to usurp the title are Harvard and 
Columbia. The Crimson is blessed with 
fine sophs and fullback Bill Grana who 
would be worth watching in any league. 
Columbia —dceper, bigger, faster, and 
hungrier than ever — should prove the 
most exciting team in the East this year

finest quarterback in the country, and may 
just prove it before his career is finished. 

Other comers in the Ivy League are 
Pennsylvania and Brown, both of which 
have been indusuiously stockpiling for 
several years. Either of them could ex 
plode into a winning season with a little 
luck. Cornell has a quarterback, Gary 
Wood, who has been just short of miracu- 
lous for two years. Now, having discov-

greater than ever.

а he thought, you're a second-rater, and so am 1. Her name 
wasn't Mousic, but Sara Nell. He always called her Sara Nell 
except when he thought about her, and then she was Mousie. 
It was her hair, maybe, or the nose that was so very well 
shaped only oncand-a-half sizes too large for her face. She 
had a little pointed face. Anyway, it was Mousie, and it wasn’t 


affectionate. 
“What's the matter, Joe?" Her voice was lovely, though 
d her eyes. She always seemed to be interested in what she 
was saying, and her eyes widened all the time she talked. In 
between times they never seemed to narrow, but got longer. 

"Nothin'. ‘Thinking. 

‘Thinking about the kind of girls you saw so often in taxis, 
so seldom on the bus. So often on TV or in the movies, never 


in a store or bowling or anyplace around. On TV and the 


movies you can watch big good-looking guys soften 'em up,

You never saw a movie about a guy didn't have enough chin, 
never had the right words at the right time and had none at 
all when he was mad, or afraid, or when he really meant 
what he was saying. What kind of a chick would look the 
second time at a guy like that? If that's what you are, you 
wind up walking along the street with Mousie because you 
can't do better. 

She was watching him, not looking where she was going, 
holding his arm very tight and close the way she always did. 
He liked that, but he never could figure it with the way she 
turned away when he tried to kiss her. He said, “I was think-

a pretty patroness of the arts becomes our september playmate 


THERE EXISTS IN THIS WORLD а small but notable number of girls to whom artistic endeavors 
come naturally. Such a gifted one is our September Playmate, a dark-tressed Los Angeleno 
named Victoria Valentino, whose talents, like her figure, are wondrously well-rounded. 
Vicky has many irons in the creative fire: she paints ("Mostly still lifes, and pen-and- 
inks”), she sings (“My voice is technically imperfect, but I like to think it has a bluesy 
quality that gets a song across”), she dances (“Purely for my own pleasure — though I did 
work one summer teaching ballet to little girls"), she plays the guitar ("I'm 

what you would call an experimentalist”). And she acts — wherein lies 
the pith of her talent and the core of her fondest hopes. “I've always 
wanted to be an actress," she notes in her quiet, melodic voice. 
“This is not a pipe dream — I've been prepping for it ever 
since my father, who is a free-lance commercial artist, and 
my mother, an ex-singer, put me in the Professional 
Children's School in New York City. I studied a year at 
New York's American Theater Wing, where I majored in 
musical theater, before moving to L.A. I'm taking 
private acting lessons now and waiting for what people 
call the ‘big break’ — no luck so far, outside of hos- 
pital shows, some summer stock, and work in little- 
theater groups. But I keep busy with girltype 
activities like sewing, dusting and cooking, and with 
my painting and other hobbies. And I wait for my 
chance — I'm still game.” Fair game — for Vicky is an 
artistic achievement in her own right: standing 5'37 
in her stockinged fect and weighing in at 110 well- 


distributed pounds, her fragile beauty suggests a classic 
Castilian heritage (vide the gatefold). But no Spanish 
blood flows in Vicky's veins —for the most part, her 
lineage combines Ita h English ice. Flashing 
her Latin spirit, she bridles at any imp 
kindred soul of the pseudo-arty, coffeehouse crowd that pro- 
liferates like smog in the L.A. environs. "I got out of that 
bohemian mess a year ago,” she states emphatically, "and I haven't 
gone back. It was a question of mental health and self-preservation.” 
Herewith a sampler of other distinctively Victorian views — On herself: "I'd 

describe my personality as sensitive and introspective. My main weakness, besides staying 
in bed till all hours, is an occasional lapse of self-confidence — I'm very easily hurt if a 
man I like shows a lack of respect toward me. I should laugh it off, I know, as being the way 
the world is. But I can't — my hopes are always too high." On personal preferences: “J

thing of a snob because I definitely preler foreign films. I also get enthusiastic about

А glamorous actress, whosc best days were be- 
hind her, began finding herself without male 
companionship several evenings a week. To 
help pass the time —and perhaps catch a live 
one — she decided to attend onc of thosc Holly- 
wood charity meetings. She dozed quietly 
throughout the opening address, but awoke 
suddenly to hear the speaker say: "Now let's 
get out and work like beavers.” 

"The actress nudged the person sitting. next 
to her and whispered, "How do beavers work?" 

The answer from the confused lady on her 
left was, "I'm not too sure, but I think it's with 
their tails." 

The actress jumped to her feet and shouted 
as loud as she could, “Put me down for three 
nights a week!"

by the activities of the previous week, was never 
quite able to overtake him. As they rounded 
the barn for the fourth time, the clder rooster 


still maintained a formidable lead. 
Suddenly, a shotgun blast rang out. The 
young rooster fell in the dust, his plumage 
riddled with buckshot.

Oh, Joe thought. But I do. I do, but 
one of those guys wouldn't You take 
the next best thing. He took his arm 
from her suddenly, so quickly that she 
opened up her long eyes and stared at 
him. They walked on, a little apart. 

"I'm sorry. Joe.” 

“For what?" 

“I don't know,” she said very sofdy. 
“I just suddenly felt sorry.” 

Mousie! he thought furiously. You 
make me mad. You watch me all the 
time. You never say what you see. Why 
did I have to meet up with you? What 
good are you doing me? You're just as 
bad as І аш. Why don't you tell me to go 
jump in the drink? . .'. But heck, she 
didn't mean anything. She was just trying 
to be— "Lets go in here and have a 
drink before we go home." 

She looked up into the neon glare 
above the entrance. “They ask how old 

u are." 

"Not here they don't.” 

“AU right, Joc.” All right, Joe. All the 
time, all right, Joc. 

"They went into.the place. Tt split the 
difference between a twist"nfizz joint 
and a real bar. It was mobbed. "There 
were tables and booths and imitation 
morocco and all kinds of noise. "There's 
some seats" said Sara Nell as Joe hesi- 
tated. 

“But there's a girl — " 

"Nonsense," said Sara Nell. "One girl 
іп а booth that is s'posed to be for four. 
Come on." 

Joe thought he ought to be the one to 
find the seats, but why make anything 
of it? They slid side by side into the 
booth. Joe slung his hat up and out 
and for once it landed on a hook. Sara 
Nell laughed and patted his shoulder 
and the girl opposite smiled. 

"Order me what you're having," Sara 
Nell said. She burrowed into her black 
handbag and came up with a compact. 
“TI be right back." 

When she was gone Joc fixed his mind 


and the base of his tongue on a Cuba 
libre and let his eyes wander over the 
room. The girl opposite was watching 
him; he sensed it rather than saw it. It 
made him acutely uncomfortable. He 
tried hard not to look at her and very 
nearly succeeded. She was blonde and 
bigger than Mousie; that he could see 
out of the corner of his сус... But if 
he was with Mousie he didn't feel that 
he should— But heck, he could look 
at her, couldn't he? She wouldn't think 
he was crawling up her leg if she'd seen 
him come in with another girl. He 
obeyed his usual reflex when he felt con- 
fused. and took out his cigarettes. 

“Please —" 

The voice was husky, throaty. He 
looked across the table, right straight 
at her. 

She was incredible. Her hair was long 
and thick, golden with firelights. He 
thought her eyes were green. Her face 
was round, the skin very white and flaw- 
less, and the lobes of her ears were 
altogether pink. She was dangling an 
unlit cigarette in her fingers, and was 
looking at his battered lighter. 

“Oh, excuse me," Joe said, and dropped 
his own lit cigarette into his lap. He 
flapped and plucked and got it, and cor- 
ralled it in the ashtray, fumbled up his 
lighter, and spun the wheel. It caught 
with its usual bonfire effect. 

The girl yelped, recoiled, then laughed 
and leaned forward. She watched him 
instead of the flame as she lit up. He saw 
that her eyes weren't green at all. They 
were blue, with a little crooked golden 
ring around each pupil. In the light of 
the booth's little table lamp, the move- 
ment of her mouth on the cigarette 
showed up a fine line of down on her 
upper lip. He had an impulse to touch 
it. 


He snapped the lighter shut and dis- 
played it. "Swedish," he announced: “I 
got it off a guy on a ship. You cax/t=get

“A bulldozer? You run a bulldozer?” 

He nodded eagerly. “You ever watch 
one work?” 

“Oh yes" she said. “I rode on one 
once, for 2 couple minutes. They're the 
biggest, strongest -— 

“I know." He nodded. He knew, too. 
He thought she had run out of words. 
Couldn't find words for Ше blatting of 
those mighty engines, the unspeakable 
power of 21 tons of steel and racket and 
brute force, the whole thing obedient as 
cadets on parade. He looked across at 
her, at the miracle that had happened to 
her face to make it interested. in his 
work, and in him. 1n him — and she with 
that calendar face, that T V-Hollywood 
face. 


D 


“My girlfi— The girl I'm with, she 
never saw а bulldozer,” he said. 

“Well I have. Is it hard to run one of 
those things? 

So Joe talked about it. Something in- 
side him filled up and burst warmly, and 
spilled out in words. He had never been 
able to talk to a girl like this before. 
here was a time in high school, a girl 
lied Peggy, and he suddenly found 
ng about her, because this 
blonde miracle understood about him 
and the bulldozer. 

"You remind me of a girl called 
Peggy, when I was a kid,” he told her. 
"Once I had a class with her, she sat 
right next to me; well I never could 
bring myself to say a word to her. You 
know how it is with kids Well she 
passed and I flunked and after that I 
never saw her but on Wednesdays. On 
Wednesdays she would carry the flag in 
assembly. I used to live from one 
Wednesday to the next, just waiting for 
her. Just to watch. I never did speak а 
word to her. Well that went on for three 
years until the senior prom and she came 
with a friend of mine. And me stag. And 
he came over and said, ‘Hi, Joe, you 
know Peggy.’ I just nodded my head 
yes and she smiled at me. Know what 
I did? I left the dance,” he said in re- 
called wonderment, “I left and went 
straight on home.” He looked up from 
his kneading fingers to see the blonde 
girl's eyes fixed on his face. He blushed. 
“I guess I was a dope. As a kid.” 

“I think that was cute,” said the 
blonde warmly. “Did you say your name 
was Joe? Mine’s Bette.” 

"Oh," said Joe. “Pleased t'meccha. 
Mine's Joe, all right. Betty." 

“Bette, with an e, not with a y. Betty 
with a y is such а common name, don't 
you think?" 

Joe, by now too faraway from bull- 
dozing and feeling lost, didn't know 
what he thought, and didn't have to, for 
he suddenly became conscious of two 
square hands with stubby fingers and an 
oversized signet ring on the table beside 
him. He looked up and saw that they 
terminated thick arms which in turn 
supported a pair of wide shoulders wear- 
ing an overpadded sports jacket. Fram a 
pinkcheeked baby face, a mean little 
pair of eyes leered viciously at him. One 
side of the mouth opened and said 
harshly, “Hiya, Bette. Who's yer friend?” 

“Oh! Gordon. Gordon, meet Joe. Joe's 
just waiting for his girl. She's powdering 
her nose." "There was an urgency in her 
deep sweet voice, and, looking up at the 
man's litle eyes, Joe felt a miserable 
cold 1 form in his stomach. 
Gordon slid in next to Bette 
heavily, "Let's jest sit here and 
help him wait for her." 

"He doesn’t believe said Bette,

THE BUSINESSMAN AT BAY HOW THE EXECUTIVE'S 
MANAGERIAL ACUMEN I8 SHAPED ON THE FORGE OF CRISIS 


ARTICLE BY J. PAUL GETTY | remember, when 
I was still very much of a business tyro, learning an 
invaluable lesson from a man who even then had 
extensive business holdings and who later became one 
of America’s wealthiest industrialists. Although 1 knew 
him fairly well, I hadn't seen him for several months 
before bumping into him one day in the lobby of 
a Chicago hotel. 

“How are things going?” I asked him after we'd 
exchanged the customary greetings. 

“Not good — terrible, in fact,” he replied with a 
placid smile. “One of my companies has been shoved 
into a tight corner by the competition. Another is 
operating in the red — and a third hasn't the cash to 
meet its short-term debts that fall due this month.” 

“You certainly don't act as though any of it worries 
you very much," 1 remarked in considerable surprise. 
Т found it hard to believe that any businessman who 
was in so much apparent trouble could be so casual 
about his problems. 

“Hell, Paul, Fm not in the least bit worried," he 

nswered. “To tell you the truth, I needed something 

like this to get me up on my toes; everything had 
been going entirely too smoothly for far too long. An 
occasional crisis is good for a businessman. There's no 
better exercise for him than to have a few messes to 
clean up every now and then,” 
er, 1 learned that it had taken my friend less than 
six months to clean up all his messes. Despite the fact 
that he owned or controlled many other business enter- 
prises, he plunged enthusiastically into the task of 
personally reorganizing and revitalizing the three fal- 
tering companies.

ars ago. 


true touchstone,” Francis Beau- 


mont and John Fletcher wrote in the early 17th Century. 


Now, Byron and Beaumont and Fletcher were not 
businessmen, and they did not concern themselves with 
business in their writings. Yet, the basic truths implicit 
in their lines are applicable to every present-day busi- 
nessman and to anyone who hopes to make a success 
of a business career. 

A machine that is functioning perfectly needs only 
nominal care. By the same token, a highly prosperous 
business that operates year after year without problems 
requires little more than caretaker management. No 
exceptional ability is needed to run such an enterprise. 

Unfortunately, the “perfect business” does not exist. 
Snags, difficulties and crises crop up in every business. 
For the businessman — as for any individual — the true 
test of his mettle comes at the time when he is faced 
with adversity. 

How does a particular executive or businessman act 
and react when he is at bay? The answer to this ques- 
tion separates the men from the boys in the business 
world. 

] have seen many men in many situations in which 
they were, to all intents and purposes, “at bay,” and 
I've come to the conclusion that most businessmen can 
be classified as falling into one or another of five broad 


egories 

First, there are those who sit by helplessly, allowing 
whatever adversity they face to overwhelm them com- 
pletely. They are like rabbits which, transfixed by the 
headlights of an automobile rushing toward them on 
a highway, make no move to save themselves and are 
consequently crushed under the vehicle's whecls. Such 
men take no action to change the course of events and 
prevent ster because they are incapable of compre- 
hending what could or might be done. Then, when 
they have been finally overwhelmed, they are stunned, 
totally unable to understand what went wrong and why. 

Then, there are those who surrender meekly or flee 
in fear as soon as things start to go wrong. Such men 
have little or no sense of proportion; they are likely to 
panic and view even minor slumps and setbacks as 
unavoidable major catastrophes. While individuals in 
the first category fail to fight back because they do not 
know how to fight, businessmen who can be classed in 
this second group fail to fight back because they are 
afraid to do so. 

Next come those men who react to adversity in an un- 
reasonable, almost hysterical fashion. Terror-stricken, 
they snarl and snap, striking back blindly and ineffec- 
tually, squandering their energies in the wrong direc- 
tions. These men invariably rail and curse against the 
“impossible odds” and “rouen breaks” they claim 
defeated them. Just as invariably, they seek to lay the 
blame for the predicaments in which they find them- 129

130 mit them at the right — at the decisiv 


selves on shoulders other than their own. 

In my fourth category are those busi- 
nessmen who fight good, tenacious— and, 
very frequently, entirely successful — de 
fensive actions whenever things start 
to go wrong. They are courageous, re- 
liable individuals who unflinchingly meet 
threats and solve problems as they arise, 
acting to the best of their not-inconsid 
able abilities. But there they stop. The 
minds are geared to thinking solely in 
terms of plugging the holes in the dike 
as, if and when they appear. The men in 
this group do not have the imagination 
iative — or lack the experience — 
to think and plan in terms of building 
entirely new and much stronger dikes 
in which holes will be far less likely to 
develop. 

Finally, in the fifth and last category 
are those businessmen who are the real 
leaders. These are the imaginative, 
aggressive individuals who base their 
business philosophy on the ancient mili- 
tary axiom that attack — or, at the very 
least, energetic counterattack —is in- 
variably the best defense, Obviously, they 
can't — and don't — always win, but then 
no general in the world’s history has ever 
won every battle he fought 

On the other hand—to carry the 
analogy between business affairs and 
military campaigns a bit further — the 
generals who win the wars and have th 
highest percentage of victories to the 
credit are those who сап mastermind 
defensive strategy as well as an offense. 

The truly great general views reverses 
calmly and coolly; he is fully aware that 
they are bound to occur occasionally and 
refuses to be unnerved by them. When 
driven back, he prevents retreat from 
turning into rout and then adroitly trans- 
forms the retreat into an orderly reto- 
grade movement. 

By so doing, he disengages his forces 
from those of the enemy with a minimum 
of additional loss, saving the bulk of his 
manpower and material resources so that 
they can be regrouped and made ready 
for a counterattack. Naturally, he leaves 
behind rear guards to protect the with- 
drawal. He accepts the losses these cover- 
ing forces must inevitably suffer with 
philosophical stoicism, realizing that it is 
sometimes necessary to sacrifice a part in 
order to save the whole. 

When his troops have been rested and 
reinforced and his supplies replenished, 
the successful general launches his cire- 
fully planned counterattack. Having 
studied the situation with great care and 
having learned much about the enemy's 
capabilities and habits from an analysis 
of what has gone before, he employs a 
combination of every resource at hi 
command. He makes feinting and dives 
sionary assaults, aims his major blows at 
the weakest points in the enemy line and 
holds back his reserves until he can com- 


times and places. 

Like the successful military leader, the 
successful, veteran businessman under- 
stands that he cannot master every busi- 
ness situation, that he cannot emerge 
victorious from every business “battle.” 
He knows that, sooner or later, he will 
encounter problems which cannot be 
solved quickly or easily, that he will 
find his progress blocked by obstacles 
which will require much time and effort. 
to overcome or which will even force him 
to retrace his steps and take a new route. 
He knows that reverses and losses are 
somctimes inevitable. 

The seasoned business campaigner is 
well-aware that the line charting the 
course of any company’s history or any 
businessman's career on а graph would 
bea jagged one. The graph would reflect 
a series of alternating peaks and lows. 
But such ups and downs do not bother 
the seasoned businessman unduly. He 
recognizes that the significant and telling 
proof lics in whether the line at the right 
edge of the chart terminates at 2 point 
that is higher or lower than the point at 
which it begins on the left. 

True business leaders — the. men in 
my fifth category — often give their most 
impressive demonstrations of leadership 
and brilliance at the very times when 
they are temporarily forced to go over to 
the defensive, at the times when they are 
at bay. And this is precisely what sets them 
ses them above the level of 
less-successful businessmen. 

Take, for example, the case of my 
friend who found himself in three serious 
business predicaments simultancously. 
There were several courses of action this 
businessman might have followed. He 
could have done nothing, allowing mat- 
ters to take their own course. He could 
have closed or sold one or more of the 
companies, utilizing whatever money he 
realized from any sale or sales to shore 
up whatever remained. He might have 
been content merely to plug the holes. 

But he neither surrendered nor pan- 
icked. Nor was he satisfied. with doing a 
hasty patch job. A good general, he sur 
veyed the situation thoroughly, reorgan 
ized his forces, brought up replacements 
and reinforcements and made his plans. 
Then, marshaling all his resources, he 
launched successful counterattacks on all 
three fronts. 

‘The history of American business and 
industry is replete with examples of how 
the great business leaders of the nation 
handily turned serious reverses into 
major triumphs. 

lt was in 1905 that Henry Ford began 
manufacturing automobiles of his own. 
In 1908, he produced the first famous 
Model T—and soon captured а very 
large share of the burgeoning U. S. auto- 
mobile market, 

Ford continued to massproduce the 
Model T until 1927, making few drastic 


changes in the comparatively primitive 
model during that cntire time. But, by 
1926, Chevrolet — Ford's biggest and most 
dangerous competitor in the low-priced 
field — was turning out more-powerful, 
comfortable and stylish cars. Ford still 
used the foot-pedal-controlled, planetary 
transmission; Chevrolet had a geared 
transmission. Chevrolet. was producing 
models in attractive colors; the Model T 
was still available only in black. 

"The automobile-buying public had 
grown more sophisticated. It wanted more 
speed, comíort and style. Ford rapidly 
began to lose ground to Chevrolet. Ford. 
sales {ell off alarmingly, while Chevy sales 
skyrocketed. The trend was well-defined — 
and many experts predicted that it was 
irreversible. They prophesied that Ford 
would never be able to catch up ag: 
the company was well on the down! 
road to becoming just another of the 
scores of automobile-manufacturing firms 
that had enjoyed a period of success only 
to fail subsequently. 

These experts failed to estimate the 
aggressive genius of Henry Ford correctly. 
He was losing ground to the competition, 
He was at bay. But he was far from de- 
feated — and even further from admit 
ting defeat. 

In the spring of 1927, Henry Ford shut 
down his Gargantuan factory. Although it 
had been announced that he would bring 
outa new model, there were many rumors 
that the Ford plant would never reopen, 
or that when it did, the new Ford would 
be a dud, nothing more than just an- 
other obsolescent Model T with a super- 
ficial face lifting. 

"Then, in December 1927, the Ford 
Motor Company introduced its Model A 
to the market. Henry Ford marshaled all 
his forces — engineering, styling. produc- 
tion and sales — and launched a counter- 
attack that pulverized all competition. 

A somewhat similar and more recent 
example in the automotive industry was 
provided by American Motors and its 
nergetic head, George Romney. Faced 
with falling sales and mounting losses, 
American Motors and Romney staged a 
spectacular comeback with their Ram- 
bler models. 

In 1959, the Chicago meatpacking 
firm of Wilson & Co. lost $763,000. James 
D. Cooney became the company's presi- 
dent the following year and, according to 
some of his associates, “turned the com- 
pany inside out and around so that it was 
pointed in the right direction." Wilson & 
Co.’s 1959 earnings exceeded $9,500,000. 

In 1933, the outlook for banks and 
bankers was bleak, indeed. The Depres- 
sion had reached its lowest point. The 
Federal Government had ordered the 
memorable “Bank Holiday” on March 
6th of that year. More than 4000 banks 
throughout the country failed, suspended

Limericks 


THE LIMERICK, insists one scholarly source, was introduced to the English-speaking world during the 
early 17th Century when a detachment of Irish mercenaries returned to County Limerick after serving 
in the armies of France, bringing with them doggerel both ribald and ripe. Other literary archaeolo- 
gists, mining the mother lode of lively lyrics, insist that bawdy balladry resembling in form and in 
content the contemporary limerick was inscribed upon the walls of the bordellos of Pompeii. 

Whatever its origin, the limerick has come down through the years rich in a heritage that is 
carthily masculine. Among limerick fanciers of the past have been such tavern rogues as William 
Shakespeare, Geoffrey Chaucer, Miguel de Cervantes, Mark Twain, Norman Douglas and T. S. Eliot. 
In 1846, poet Edward Lear whitewashed the limerick and introduced it into polite Victorian circles 
with his somewhat innocuous Book of Nonsense, but the best and most stimulating five-liners retain 
their salty tang, like those we invite you to savor here —a well-spiœd potpourri of old and new, 
borrowed — and somewhat blue. 


A limerick packs laughs anatomical, 
Into space that is quite economical. 

But the good ones we've seen, 

So seldom are clean, 
And the clean ones so seldom are comical. 


There was a young lady named Gloria, 
Who was had by Sir Gerald du Maurier, 
And then by six men, 
Sir Gerald again, 
And the band at the Waldorf-Astoria. 


A young lad, with passions quite gingery, 
Tore a hole in his sister's best lingerie. 

He pinched her behind, 

Then made up his mind 
To add incest to insult to injury. 


A broken-down harlot named Tupps 
Was heard to confess in her cups, 
“The height of my folly

But I got a nice price for the pups.” 


There was a young lady of Exeter, 

So pretty that men craned their necks at her. 
One was even so brave 
As to take out and wave 

The distinguishing mark of his sex at her. 


An oversexed lady named White 
Insists on a dozen a night. 
A fellow named Cheddar 
Had the brashness ta wed her; 
His chance of survival is slight. 


There was a young maid from Madras 
Who had a magnificent ass: 

Not pretty and pink, 

As you probably think— 
It was gray, had long ears, and ate grass. 


Said a pretty young student from Smith 
Whose virtue was largely a myth, 
“Try hard as I can 
I can't find a man 
Who it’s fun to be virtuous with.” 


There was a young girl from Knizes, 
With breasts of two different sizes. 
One was so small, 
It was nothing at all, 
But the other was large and won prizes. 


A young violinist from Rio 

Was seducing a lady named Cleo. 
As she took down her panties 
She said, “ № andantes;

One night a girl had an affair 
With a fellow all covered with hair. 
Then she picked up his hat 
And realized that 
She'd been had by Smokey the Bear. 


There was a young maiden from Siam, 
Who said to her lover, young Khayyam, 

“ То seduce me, of course, 

You will have to use force! 4 
Thank goodness you're stronger than I am.” 


She wasn’t what one would call pretty

So nobody guessed 

That her Wassermann test 
Involved half the men of the city.

Who had a remarkable ferskine. 
When I said to her, “Mabel, 
You look fine in your sable,” 
She replied, “T look best in my berskine.” 


There was а young lady of Norway, 
Who hung by her heels in a doorway. 
She told her young man, 
dj “Get off the divan,

There was a young girl who begat 
Three babies named Nat, Pat and Tat. 
It was fun in the breeding, 


But hell in the feeding, 
When she found there was no tit for Tat. 


A big-bosomed Bunny named Gression 
Sold cigars as a key-club concession. 
When she swiveled about

For her costume did not keep her flesh in. 


There was a young lady from Spain, 
Who demurely undressed on a train. 
Then an eager young porter 
Did more than he orter, 
And she promptly cried, “ Do it again!” 


There was a young girl from Peru, 

Who decided her loves were too few. 
So she walked from her door 
With a fig leaf, no more,

ONE YEAR Aco, the late Marilyn Monroe 
discussed her deification as an acetate 
love goddess in these forthright words: 
"I never quite understood it— this sex 
symbol — I always thought symbols were 
those things you clash together! ... But if 
I'm going to be a symbol of something 
I'd rather have it sex than some other 
things they've got symbols ofl” Sadly, 
Marilyn's untimely death brought with 
it the demise in America of her special 
brand of symbolism: the voluptuous child- 
woman who personifies the immemorial 
romantic dreams of men. No new Ameri 
can actress has swiveled forth to take her 
place or to claim her title — nor are any apt 
to do so soon, for the current young U.S. 
screen stars are, by contrast, a disappoint- 
ingly pallid and spindly lot. The situa- 
tion in Europe, however, is dramatically 
different: over there, an uncommon mar- 
ket in sexy actresses who play sexy parts in 
sexy films has flourished during the past 
few years, a pleasant phenomenon which 
is leading the American male to regard 
foreign films — and their decorative stars 
— with steadily increasing enthusiasm. In 
France, Italy, Germany and England, a 
full-bodied corps of gifted actresses is 
gaining fame by speaking a language that

our impressionist captures the charged drama of competitive big-league pool 


THE WORLD'S POCKET-BILLIARDS CHAMPIONSHIP was held this past April in the chan- 
deliered ballroom of Manhattan's Commodore Hotel. Compcting on the brilliant-green felt of 
two adjacent tables, a dozen crack shots took their cues in a seven-day pursuit of the title (the 
winner: Luther Lassiter). Watching the dinnerjacketed pool pros at solemn play was a 
connoisseur audience that included рглувоу' LeRoy Neiman. Reports Neiman: "I was most 
impressed by the emotional excitement that charges the smoke-filled air during a match, 
ticularly when a high run starts to develop. Sounds are a dominant part of the drama — the 
scratchy rub as the cue is chalked; the clean, sharp click of cue on ball as the player strokes; 
then the sharp crack of cuc ball on object ball and the dunking drop into the intended pocket. 
If the shot is well-executed, spontaneous applause breaks the quict, just as in tennis. Each 
formally clad player takes over his table with the direct, accomplished skill of a concert pian 
ist taking over a keyboard. In the ornate setting— a dramatic contrast to the seamy pool-hall 
milieu of Hollywood's The Hustler —the absorption of both players and spectators is complete."

the festive excitement — the swirl 
of elegant latecomers before walls 
papered with the caricatures of

the sensitive impression to the 
right. “The atmosphere," observes 
Neiman, "is convivial, intimate,

Watching, one becomes intensely 
aware of the exhilaration and the

“Mirror, Mirror, on the wall, 
Whose are the fairest of them all . . . ?" 


BUCKSKIN MAN 


BUCKSKIN MAN was ап Apache hunter. 
They called him so because he wore a 
suit of the finest buckskin with a fringe 
hanging from it and rattles that jingled 
when he walked. All the women stopped 
their work and turned to look when he 
passed, for they knew his reputation as 
a great lover. All the braves smiled and 
spoke to him, for they esteemed him as 
а great hunter. 

But a certain wife whose me was 
tus Thorn, because her tongue w 
sharp, vowed that the very 
made her ill. Whenever she saw him pass 
her hog: she would clutch her belly 
and rush inside to complain to her hus- 
band, “Buckskin Man is going by. He 
has tuned my stomach 

Her husband did not really care. In 
fact, it pleased him, for too many wives 
yearned after Buckskin Man who had a 
way with women. But his wife carried 
the thing so far as to arouse his suspicion. 

He determined to test his wife, and if 
he discovered that she yearned like other 
wives after the tall. hunter, he would 
put a quick end to such unseemly lust. 

1 am going olf on a hunting trip and 
will be gone about four days," he told 
her one morning. "Feed the childr 
well, and wait until I return. With for- 
tune, I shall perhaps bring you some 
fresh. buflalo liver." 

Cactus Thorn was glad to see him go. 
In her heart she told herself that, with 
her husband away, almost anything might 
come about. 

He packed his things, took his best 
bow and many good arrows, sacrificed 
the sacred pollen to the Immortal Hact- 
cin, and marched out into the prairie. 
But as soon as he was out of sight of the 


people in the village, he turned his steps 
toward the hogan of Buckskin Man, who 
lived apart as was the habit of bachelors 
among the Apaches. After they had 
ich other, they smoked a few

away with the suit over his arm. 

Out in the mesquite, he slipped olf his 
shabby suit and put on Buckskin Man's 
beautiful fringed jacket and trousers. 
They were a bit large for him, but in 
the dark he was certain they would serve 


his purpose. 

When deep twilight lay over the Тапа, 
he ted for his hogan. His wife was 
sitting before a fire that burned at the 
doorway. The children were playing at 
her feet. 

‘The husband walked up and stood 
near the front wall, but he kept to the 
shadows so that the firelight would not 
touch his face. The wife heard the jin- 
gling of the rattles on his suit. She was 
certain that the man for whom she had 
yearned so many moons and whom she 
said she hated had come at last. 

The figure in the shadows motioned 
with his head toward the willow thickets 
down by the stream and started in that 
direction. She arose diately fro 
the fire, threw what water there was in 
her water jar to the carth, and ran into 
the hogan for a blanket. 

‘Stay by the fire,” she told the chil- 
"until I return from. the stream 
with fresh water." 

Then, carrying the blanket, she fol- 
lowed the man in fringed buckskin into 
the night, 

He walked on until he reached the 
edge of the stream, There he stopped 
and with folded arms looked out over 
the water, The woman spread the blan- 
ket on the soft moss before he could 
turn around. Then she stretched herself 
out on the blanket awaiting the longcd-

formal counterparts by almost two to one. 
Another confirmation of our past pred

that sweaters continue to weave their wild 
nd woolly way into collegiate lavor: most 
students, according to the survey, now 
own at least five. 

The undergraduate matriculating for 
high-fashion honors, however, will be 
mostly concerned with specific regional 
trends, and while there is а Large degree 
of homogeneity among them, the fre-

JS А WOMAN'S PLACE IN THE HOME? 


15 IT TRUE, as so many say, that woman's 
place is in the home? "Fhe answer is à 
clear "No!" 

A woman's place is in her place, and 
this is true both at home (as we have 
seen) and in the office. 

Friction has been caused recently only 
because women in business have on occa- 
sion stepped oul of their places. This 
caused untold confusion and mental 
anguish, 


WORK TOGETHER! 


Modern Ame n business is anchored 
firmly to this principle: Il is the man 
who docs the thinking and the woman 
who dors the work. 

Indeed, from the very day this prin- 
ciple was discovered, from the day man 
learned that all the heavy work in a busi- 
ness office could be performed by women 
at a fraction of the cost, American busi- 
ss zoomed upward. Men, with their 
hands idle, were free to perform their 
true function, that of planning and mak- 
decisions. 

From that time onward, the sky has 
been the limit. The world has marveled 
to scc this n stridi

HOW TO DEAL WITH WOMEN EXECUTIVES 


A woman executive is any woman who 
can wear her hat in the office. She need 
no longer work with her hands — and no 
one needs to be told how dangerous а 
woman is when her hands are not occu- 
pied. She gives orders and competes with 
men on their own ground. In some cases 
she even gives orders fo men, something 
that has to be experienced to be appre- 
ciated. 

It is your duty while in the office to 
life as pleasant and as harmonious 
as possible for the office force, which

‚ when it comes to the woman 
your mission is just as clcar. 
"The woman executive must not. be al- 
lowed to spring up — and, once having 
sprung up, must be suppressed as quickly 
as possible. 

There are two main types of woman 
executives, each demandi 
treatment: (1) the siren 
battleax. 

The Siren. The siren-executive is a 
woman who combines a certain super- 
ficial cleverness with calculated sex. She 
is not to be confused with the simple 
or barcheaded siren, who may be just 
as appealing, but who uses her appeal in 
a wholesome way, which is to say only 
for its own sake. 

The siren-cxccutive, or pote 
executive, uses se 


ial sirc 
the way you would 
use a meeting or a memo, purely for 
self-advancement, The really unscrupu- 
lous woman can, in fact, do things with 
sex that you could never do with the 
very best memo. The shrewd girl chooses 
victims expertly and can often 
rapidly in an organization. 

The countersiren is the best defense 
ast her. Find а good, simple or barc- 
aded siren and install her close to the 
office of the si ves intended 
victim. This is known as fighting fire 
with fire. 

It is good to have a girl of your own 
handy for such purposes.

As far as suits are concerned at Mid- 
western campuses this year, experimenta 
tion is for the chemistry labs: the sine qua 
non is the naturalshoulder look in as 
classical an outline as a Latin text, While 
Caesar may have divided Gaul into three, 
your collection should number five: first, 
a low-key worsted or worsted flannel in 


navy, gray or olive, and then choose from 
among herringbone cheviots, а blueg 
glen plaid and а charcoal-brown sh 
skin, The most popular dinner-jacket 
style will be black natural-shoulder in 
shawl or semipeak lapel, with the white 
formal jacket holding sway during spring. 
Dinner jackets are normally rented in 
the Midwest.

The blazer, here as elsewhere, is de 
rigueur, but colors vary. In order of

a medium to heavyweight Shetland, a 
tweed in bold herri muted 
plaids and а tropicweight or seersucker

slacks, including three or four worsted

The overcoat is hardly optional in

In 1959, Thomas E. Sunderland moved. 
out of the oil business — and into the fruit 
business. He took over the presidency of 
the giant United Fruit Company, accept- 
ing a job that many lesser men would 
have feared — or even refused to touch. 
The outlook for the future at United 
Fruit was hardly a glowing one when he 
stepped into the top executive position. 
Eight years earlier, in 1951, the com- 
pany had made a profit of more than 
$50,000,000. In the years that followed, 
profits skidded — dropping to $12,000,000 
in 1959 and dipping even lower to less 
than 53,000,000 in 1960. 

‘Thomas Sunderland soon proved that 
he deserves to be ranked high among the

This, of course, meant a proxy contest.

The mere idea of a consumer maga-

male is, to think of love in terms of giv- 
ing, and marriage as a romantic 
between himself and the

and the hardware of homemaking play 
little part in his prenuptial thoughts,

like women, who quite often make “sen-

presumed to go hand in hand with eco-

Because the young bride's romantic 
is taken for granted, her preoccupation 
with gifts and gear— during what is 
surely the supremely romantic period of 
her life — can be interpreted as feminine 
nest-building, stemming from a womanly

While the single man still remains the

is granted the courage, intelligence, wit, 
charm and resourcefulness to win the 
love of a fair young lady, the mass-medi

idiot — a commuting clown who falls off 
ladders, trips over the kids’ toys, and is 
ched from the brink of physical, so-

ranch-house level of birthday parties,

who are religious in their belief that be-

naut is blasted into space in the nose of 
a man-made rocket, it is an unwritten 
w of the mass media that his m al

wifelessness as long as the cameras are 
on hand to document his little woman's 
reactions as she bravely waits out the

tear is put into the public domain for 
the leisurely consumption of other cha 
borne wives— good women all — whose 
own rosy late-for-bus breadwinners have 
been safely launched for an all-day orbit 
at the office, 

It is also part of fate’s format that 
during the long hours of the lonely bird- 
man’s postilight debriefing, his mother- 
in-law, parents and kids are rocketed to 
national prominence. In support of his 
wife— who has by this time cried and 
laughed her way to stardom — they smile 
and wave, and exuberantlv tattle all the 
homey, heart-warming little anecdotes 
and confidences that will bring the hero's 
c back down to carth for good. By

up in a business suit to give an account

rehash of one man's experiences with a 
new power mower. Since the audience

focus on the warmth of his wife's ex-

who have bravely sacrificed a whole week 
of school in order to stand by their dad 
in his moment of personal triumph.

to reflect. that this merchand:

all to the wife and kids? What of Lewis

they married? Was the dramatic race to 
reach the South Pole by sled presented 
to the world from the point of view of 
two worried wives whose hubbies had 
gone out in the snow one night to c

The joke, it would seem, is on all Amer

any form of employment. 

Since civilized humor has always 
played upon Man's awareness of his own 
inadequacies, it can be argued that this 
spoofing of the American male is far 
from new or peculiar to our time. What 
is new and unparalleled, however, is the 
fact that the image of the American man

has been to diminish the image of all

unmarried medics are permitted to 


swashbuckle a bit within the narrow

In broadest terms, perhaps, this use of 
all the powerful magic of our black-and-

to handy purse size, may be atuibuted 
to the rising influence of feminism, in

found to coincide with the growth of

create the romance which women, for 
the most part, cam only consume, the 
romance of marria n proportion 
to the amount of time and energy the 
young husband must devote to support- 
ing his wife and family—and the 
mount usually proves greater than he 
has ever been led to expect. Though he 
soon begins to buckle under the daily 
strain, he consoles himself with the be- 
lief that he is only doing what men have 
always done — working to supply food 
and shelter for his near and dear ones. 
If anything, he imagines himself to be 
considerably better off than his grand- 
father, who had to put in much longer 
hours for a lot less p That the differ- 
ence between the eight- and ten-hour

that the salary differential between him

stock market is in a decline, and the 
world is suddenly threatened with 
immediate outbreak of thermonuclea 
war, a man cannot. be rewired or souped 
up to absorb the increased load. Un- 
natural and excessive though his burdens 
may become, he must carry them squarely 
on his natural shoulders, and manfully 
resolve to keep his wits firmly in place 
beneath hi row-brim hat. Though 
his problems may dwarf him, he must 
somehow manage to stand up tall and 
to function from a mature 
height of approximately five feet, ten 
inches above the hard, cold ground. 
While it's no secret that this heroic 
stance has become increasingly difficult 
for the average man to maintain, and 
the death rate for husbands continues 
to гі mingly in relation to that for 
wives. the American hubby has become 
so accustomed to meeting his responsi- 
bilities with machinel 
that he has mechanically

ceed his own lifetime guarantee. Through 
neither the insistence of any religious 
doctrine nor the enactment of civil law, 
the American marriage contract has, dur- 
ing recent decades, been quietly and

the highest standard of living on earth, 
but must work to ach ndard of 
dying which will insure that his journey 
into the hereafter will have no more 
practical consequence for his survivors 
than a Jongish business trip to Hartford. 
By means of insurance and other ac- 
cumulated assets, he must, in short, con- 
tinue to provide meat, drink, bubble 
baths and Band-Aids for his di па

The novelty of this widely accepted 
obligation becomes apparent, I think,

which would cover Pop's funeral ex-

ricultural methods had yet to kill off the 
small shop and farm, many men had 
little need for such insurance, aud could 
depart this life in the confidence that 
their wives or sons were almost as well-

family business. As їп past centuries,

I thankfully do not 
know. As he drove with his bride at 
his side, he was still mercifully under the 
romantic illusion that death was not in- 
evitable, and that he and his new litle 
wife would live and feast on love forever. 
But if he had been reading, as | had, 
some of the few massmedia advertising 
appeals which are aimed specifically at 
the American hubby, he could not have 
made the first turn in the road without 
breaking out in a cold sweat of anxiety. 
"Ehe advertisements to which I refer are 
not the wholesome, optimistic ones for 


en's clothing, booze aud snow tires, 
which carry the implication that the 
ican male might stand a Chinaman's 


т long enough to enjoy 
the use of the product — but the growing 


mber of creepy, crepe-hanging com- 
ercial pitches that prey upon the Ameri- 
husband's extreme vulnerability to 
accident and death, in order to sell him 
the "protection" he needs to build his 
pyramid of “family security. 

Under the ghostly photo negative of a 
hospitalized hubby clutching his brow in 
despair, the Equitable Life Assurance 
Society of the United States sings its full- 
page song of sickness and death in Lif 
“Do you have any idea what it costs to 
have a bad accident or to be sick for a 
long time? Don't forget that your normal 
expenses, your living expenses, keep 
right on going. You still have to mect the 
rent or the mortgage. You still have to 
buy food for your family. You still have 
to pay all those other bills that keep 
coming in month after month in addition 
to hospital bills . . . doctor bills . . . 
medicine . . . nurses. 

“If youre laid up, unable to work for 
months, or perhaps ycars, where would 
the money come from to pay all those 
bill? How long would your company 

cep you on the payroll? One month? 
Three months? Six months? 

"How far would your hospital 
and medical insurance go? 

"When your pay check has stopped and 
you've used up your hospi on and 
medical insurance, how would you pay 
your bills? How long would your savii 
last? How long could you hold onto your 
home? After that, what would you do?” 

Under a bright-red airborne umbrella, 
a young matron sits in the prow of a 
drifting dinghy, while her subteen son 
tries to manipulate the oars, and a 
younger child fumbles with the tille: 
"How long could your family dri

fiction form, and accompanied by an 
illustration in which a lithesome young 
wife in basic black leaned tenderly 
against her handsome hubby beneath a 
huge red umbrella, the piece served to 
dramatize one woman's realization of the

way for future acceptance of the policy

This moving little fiction has as its

stimulation of morbid imaginings, and 


the exacerbation of an insatiable lust for

ized, quite properly, I think, as the new 
Pornography of Prudence. Necrophilic 
in the extreme, this peculiar and degrad- 
ing security smut comes not in a plain 
brown wrapper, but in the gay bindings 
of our leading publications, and has so 
succeeded in establishing the hubby's

of marriage that in our sample month

of "che «hores and chuckles from

told a funny one about а mortu:

the following conversation with her 


Are you going to die and go

In the cartoon that capped this rib

come and n little Stephi’s daddy

the beach in her little swimsuit looking

Miss Brophy chirruped in bent letters. 
“Unmarried men are more likely to send

а ready-made family are manfully re-

worst years, 
accepted as woman's "potential slave. 
To the numerous unfettered male 


spirits for whom sex is not a weapon but. 
a wonderfully beneficent by-product of 
the peaceful uses of romantic energy, it 
cannot fail to appear somewhat ironical 
that Mrs. Brown considered single 
women to be “the least understood and 
most criticized minority group of all 
time.” Reaching a couple of notches 
higher on the same newsstand, it was 
doubly ironical to discover, furthermore, 
that Harper's felt the need to rui

women had made in recent decades, an 
extraordinary number of American fe- 
males were still troubled and dissatisfied. 
ad “the mechanized home has brought 
millions of women the gift (or the bur 
den) of uncommitted hours," Harper's 
noted. Citing the “annual flood of fe-

A more flagrant and lethal lack of

few indeed. As American men heroically

romantics will find bachelorhood the 
more appealing, and that the American 
man will seek some form of male-female 
entente that will liberate him from the 
thankless and oppressive onus of having 
to spend the better part of his life in 
eparation for his own death 
Though religion and romanticism re- 
quire that the solution to our conj 
inequities and discontents be found 
within the context of marriage as we 
have known it, it would be folly to as- 
sume that An men will persist in 
seeking answers purely terms of 
ter happiness and contentment for 
American female. Since masculine 
thoughtfulness, consideration and sacri- 
fice have failed so notably to please her 
in the past, it is possible, perhaps, that 
а morc satislactor d humane solution 
night be had by approaching the prob- 
lem from the standpoint of mascu 
self-interest. With women outuumberii 
men by more than two-and-a-half mil- 
lion. there is certainly no rational 
necessity for the American male to bar- 
in [rom a defensive position, or to go 
about on bended knee in search of 
someone to love, honor and support. 
Indeed, in the final analysis, it is en- 
tirely possible’ that romantic marriage 
might be made to pay olf in greater hap- 
piness for both parties if the modern 
bride were required to love, honor and 
support him. 

As the sun slowly sets over my inkwell, 
and Harper's decries а u avd 
working wives, I seem to recall а some- 
what similar suggestion, made a few 
years back by the authropologist-writer, 
Ashley Montagu, whose eloquent ad- 
vocacy of greater male consideration 
toward American women ranks him as 
milady's leading male lobbyist in thc 
world of contemporary letters. In The 
Natural Superiority of Women, a book 
dedicated to Marjorie with all his lov 
Mr. Montagu pointed out that, while 
women “have demonstrated that they can 
work ard as men at almost all oc- 
cup ıd that they do a great deal 
better. than men ever did 
Americ have resisted the ‘intru- 
sion’ of women into their workaday 
world to the last ditch, and many are 
still doing it. Why? ..." 

Why, indeed, gentlemen? In physio- 
logical make-up. and psychological tem- 
perament the human male has long been 
known to be unsuited for grinding effort 
of any sort. For sporadic feats of strength 
and skill, yes. For slaying a saber-toothed 
ting а symphony, yes— but 
devoting years to the manufac- 
ture of fur car mulls or running a retail 
music business. Men have nothing like 
the endurance that women have, Mr. 
Montagu argues, and proves his point by 
ing the reader to examine thc

none of this adds up to a case for 
greater consideration toward the male in 
Mr. Montagu’s book, but may be con- 
strucd as a kind of pretty compliment to 
the ladies, whose well-upholstered chro- 
mosomes entitle them to a more active 
‘ticipation in all fields of endeavor.

later it was disbanded, after being con-

In 1789 the Proclamation

The Victorian period was marked by 
a quite incredible preoccupation with 
symbolic representations of sex, especially 
verbal ones. In the Middle Ages. th 
Church had preached against sex in the 
strongest terms, but it had never he 
ted to use sexual words and phrases in 
referring to it; nor had it objected to 
representations in art of the sex organs

No such sexual frankness was permitted 
in Victorian times, however. Thus not 
only words used repeatedly in the Bible,

increasingly extended until words and 
objects only remotely connected with sex
