200 years. It hasa subtle p

to Senator Javits’ article, a great many 
elected officials support lowering the vot 
ing age. In addition to these letters, we 
received comments to that effect from 
Senators Peter Н. Dominick, Clifford Р. 
Hansen and Howard Н. Baker, Jr.; from 
several members of the House of Repre- 
sentatives; and from a number of mayors 
of major cities. For additional comments 
on Senator Javits’ extremely popular 
article, see below. 


its’ article was excellent, but he 
failed to discuss the very positive effects 
lowering the voting age would have on 
our educatio: system. For one thing. 
the student-teacher relationship would 
improve immensely, with teachers talk 
ing to their students as adults instead of 
as child More important, stud 
voting power would have a profound 
ellet on crucial educational issues: 
school bonds, school-board clecti 
school policies. Lowering the vot

When those my age graduated from 
high school, we were informed at com- 
mencement that “the torch had been 
passed on" to us. Passed it may 
been, but we couldn't carry it anywhere. 
For the past four years, we have watched, 
powerless, while our cities burned and 
our friends died in Vit im. At best, we 
can render services to our community or 
our country. Or we can block Govern 
ment hallways, carry placards or simply 
turn on, tune in and drop out. I strongly 
believe that we are ready to сату the 
torch of voter responsibility. And in 
answer to those who doubt our commit 
ment to this responsibility, 1 can assure 
them that 1 would much 
switch in a voting booth th 
match to my draft cad.

Senator Javits’ timely aride touched 
a nerve for me and many of my fellow 
students. If our legislators are afraid of a 
large bloc of new voters and new ideas, 
they ought to be turned out of office.

BROWN POWER 
After reading your stimulating Febru- 
y imerview with Jim Brown, I can't 
help but feel tremendous admiration aud 
respect for him—both as an athlete and 
as а peron. It takes something special 
for anyone to climb fom the ghetto, 
contend with the prejudice Brown has 
faced aud still maintain а rational mind. 
1 think this special quality will make 
organization, the Negro Indus 
nd Economic Union, а real success, 
to relieve the frustrations of Ne- 
groes trapped in the ghettos and those of 
whites who cannot help them because of 
the barrier between the two races. My 
hope is that Brown will fulfill his dream 
ad that he subsequently will be remen 
bered not for football or for acting but 
for his contribution to block America.

Confessions 
of a Girl-watcher 
in Scandinavia. 


It all started on my SAS flight. 

All my life I've had only these three 
weaknesses: blondes, brunettes and red- 
heads. So what happens? They have a blonde, 
a brunette and a redheaded air hostess. 

Right away, my favorite quote came back 
tome: "I can resist anything except tempta- 
tion." I succumbed. I would watch girls. 

We landed at Copenhagen. I put on my sun- 
glasses, picked a sidewalk cafe. And watched. 

I watched blondes, brunettes, and red- 
heads. I consumed several Danish beers, half 
a dozen smgrrebrgds, two aquavits. Poetry 
was unfolding before my eyes. I vas inspired. 

Later in the day, I followed the migra- 
tion to the Tivoli Gardens. 

Beautiful. More blondes. More brunettes. 
More redheads, 

Then а thought of diabolical cunning ос- 
curred to me. By the latest census, girls 
comprised about 50% of the entire Scandina- 
vian population. I could drive around, and 
girl-watch too. 

So I went to Hamlet's castle. "To be or 
not to be," the guide intoned hauntingly. 

I watched the girls. 


Then I drove to Stockholm. Lovely city, 
with a groovy Old Town. And streets full of 
strolling, sun-vorshipping girls. 

Oslo. Here, luck was with me. A swinging 
festivalwas under way. Wild. Folk-dancing. 
Singing. Girls, tuning up for spring. 

Then up to the fjords in blossom-time. 
Apple blossom. Cherry blossom. And whole- 
Some, blossoming girls. 

So, back to Copenhagen. Ah, Copenhagen. 
Serenely, I took in theatres, restaurants. 
Athletically, I roamed the countryside, 
digging its pastoral charm. A healthy mind 
in a healthy body, is what I always say. 

And now for my last confession. I did all 
this оп an SAS Dollar-Wise tour. You drive 
where you like, do as you like. Economy air 
fare from New York, 3 weeks' accommodations 
and use of Volkswagen with 1000 free kil- 
ometers costs only $338 (Group Inclusive 
Tour Fare). 

Dig? Ask your travel agent or write SAS, 
Box 3443, Grand Central Station, New York, 
N.Y. 10017. 

Oh, by the way. There's unlimited free 
girl-watching.

The engine is larger than that found in many imports. And the seating room is larger, too. 
Automatic transmission and GT styling are available. Front disc brakes are standard. 


Those are the features that help make Ford's Model C Cortina the largest selling car 

in England. And these features make it so right for America. (Sales more than doubled

Boredom evaporates the minute you settle into 
those foam-padded bucket seats of genuine 
English leather. A twist of the key brings that 
race-proven 1798cc engine to life. Slip the 
short-throw stick into first (it's synchronized) 
and head for the most challenging stretch of 
road you know. Your MGB's heavy-duty suspen- 
sion and rack-and-pinion steering make you 
master of any road. You've got big disc brakes 
up front, to cope with any emergency. And an 
efficient heater/defroster to cope with any 
weather. Excitement—that's the MGB. Isn't 
that what you want to escape to? 


MGB/ GT LETS YOU ESCAPE THE OPTION TRAP. 

The extras that would cost you extra on other 
cars are standard equipment on this hand- 
crafted fastback. You get a 7,000 RPM electric 
tach plus full sports-car instrumentation; 60- 
spoke centerlock wire wheels; а fully-syn- 
chronized 4-speed gearbox with short-throw 
stick shift; twin S.U. carburetors for fast accel- 
eration; an oil cooler for longer engine life; 
self-adjusting disc brakes; competition-proved 
heavy-duty suspension; an efficient heater 
defroster; and fully-adjustable English leather 
bucket seats. Why pay extra for extras? They're 
standard equipment on the luxurious MGB/ GT. 


SPRITE LETS YOU ESCAPE THE HIGH PRICE TAG. 

It's the Class G racing champ — with a top 
speed over 90 MPH and zero-to-sixty in under 
16 seconds. And you get championship-caliber 
road holding from its competition-engineered 
suspension, and right-now stopping power from 
big, self-adjusting disc brakes. Plus complete 
instrumentation, contoured bucket seats, effi- 
cient heater! defroster, even windshield wash- 
ers. Yet the new Austin Healey Sprite is still 
the lowest-priced true sports car you can buy. 
Who says high performance always carries a 
high price teg? 


MIDGET LETS you ESCAPE THE DULL SECOND CAR. 
For the price of a good second-hand car — 
you can buy a spanking-new MG Midget, and 
all that goes with it. its rugged and reli- 
able 1275cc overhead-valve engine, four-speed 
gearbox, heavy-duty suspension and fade-free 
disc brakes. Plus that distinctive MG grille, and 
genuine center-lock wire wheels as standard 
equipment. You even get a full measure of 
luxury, in the form of foam-padded bucket 
seats; roll-up windows; heater/defroster; and 
a snug draft-free folding top. Make your escape

“ITHE PARKER PEN COMPANY, INESVILLE, WISCONSI 


“How I slimmed downto 
almost nothing? 


“How I felt before” 


Nobody loves a fat pen. 

“Look at the knockwurst,” people said. 

“Ts it a pen or a balloon?” 

“Watch out for Tubby. He'll rip the 
pocket right off your shirt.” 

That's all I ever heard, day and night. 

“Fat pen.” “Fat pen.” “Fat pen.” 

I wept bitter ink. After all, I'm sensitive. 
I'ma writer, you know. 

Besides, I wasn't just fat. I was fat for 
a reason: beneath that lumpy exterior 
bulged an enormous ink cartridge, that 
wrote more than any other pen's. 

Yes, I was fat. But I also wrote longer than 
any other ballpoint pen. A lot longer. More 
than a mile longer. 

1 felt all mixed up. Proud and ashamed 
at the same time. 

Writing longer meant everything to me. 
I would never give it up. Never. 

But how I envied my pen pals. Those 
slim, trim jobs. So chic. So elegant. 

Short on ink, maybe. But long on looks. 

So I went right to the top. 

“Oh powerful Parker engineers,” 1 
pleaded. "Oh skillful Parker designers. Do 
something. Help me get into shape. Deliver 
me in a trimmed-down case. 

“I don't care what the cost or how sharp 
the pain. I'll do anything. But touch not 
a drop of my ink supply." 

Well. All the words in my big, fat ink 
cartridge can't describe the torture. 

The pushing, the pulling, the tightening! 

Thestretching, the pummeling, the strain! 

It took forever, but they performed a 
miracle. 

A skintight sheath! 

No. Even better. Five skintight sheaths.

version. A $25 14k gold-filled drcam. And 
a dazzling vermeil outfit at $32.50. 

І can’t believe it's the same me. With 
exactly the same ink refill. 

But it is. At last, I'm the pen you love to 
touch. 

Long on ink and long on looks. 

It's changed my whole life. People want 
me near them. I feel needed. 

I'm writing things I could never write. 
I'm going places I've never been and doing 
things I've never done. 

I'm one of the beautiful pens. 

I even have a jet-set name: the Parker

bred in the tradition of the famed 


Suzuki X-6 Hustler (holder of the 
250cc world’s land speed record at 
Bonneville). Yet, because Invader is 
50cc's smaller and 32 Ibs. lighter, 
it's still tame enough for the easy 
going man about town. 

It’s powered by the most hon- 
est engine ever: the Suzuki Dual- 
Stroke. It turns on 23 horses at an 
easy 7500 rpm; turns through the 
М mile in a fraction over 16 sec- 
onds; turns in a top speed range of 
85 - 90. 

Tt yields to your every whim 
with a responsive 5-speed Constant- 
Mesh gearbox. 

It’s Posi-Force lubrication ends 
the headaches of oil-gas mixing. 

Good looks? Natch. Sleek, racy 
styling. Brilliant colors. Polished 
off with rich chrome. 

And of course, the X-5 Invader 
is backed by the exclusive Suzuki 


12 month/12,000 mile warranty.

... ThenewAMX | 
will be sold as democratically 
as possible. 


We, American Motors, have over 2,300 dealers across 
the country who can sell more AMX's than we can make. 

And we will only make about 10,000 this year. 

In other words, we're faced with a mini-Supply of 
AMX's and а maxi-Demand for AMX’s. 

In an effort to give everyone an equal chance to buy 
an AMX, we're resorting to the best solution we can 
think of. 

Like the House of Representatives, we will try to send 
a fair share of AMX's to each state, based on its propor- 
tionate population. 

For example, California, with a larger share of the 
people, should receive a larger share of AMX's. . 

New Hampshire, with fewer people, won't get quite 
зо many. 

It should all work out democratically. 


What Is lt? 
The AMX is a 2-seater. For people who love sports 


cars, but haven't the time or the money to take care of one. 

Priced at under $3,300; the AMX offers most of the 
advantages of a high-priced foreign car. 

With none of the disadvantages associated with 
owning a high performance sports car. 

The costly disadvantages of constant maintenance 
and special engine tune-ups. 

In short, the AMX giv ou the ease of maintenance 
associated with a family sedan, along with the sheer fun 
and maneuverability of a sports car costing thousands 
more. 


The Engine. One Size Fits All. 


"The AMX body is made of steel.Which, while strong, 
is also heavy. 

So we tried an imaginative technique for reducing the 
AMN's total weight. 

We selected a lightweight engine block that combusts 
exactly the same power as a heavy block. 


It worked. 

The AMX engine cradle will hold any of three differ- 
ent engines: 

Our 290 cubic inch. 

Our 343 cubic inch. 

Our 390 cubic inch. (Zero to 60 in under 7 seconds. 
One, two, three, four, five, six, sev—that fast.) 

The incredibly илсотріех design of the AMX means 
that, once the 390% broken in, you could roll right onto a 
race track and be ready to do od: 130 mph. 

Б In pure stock form—without special engine modifica- 
IONS. 
. „All three engines are V-8 configuration, and use 
similar engine blocks. А . 

Which means you don't add excessive size and weight. 
asyou go from the 290 to the 343 to the 390. 

And though there are cars on the road that are faster 
thanthe AMX, we hasten to add that beating other drivers 
isn't the AMX's main appeal. 


Handling. 


In the auto industry “handling” means how fast and 
how accurately your car responds to your personal 
driving technique. 

And how easily. 

It's the way the car reacts to you as you drive, not the 
usual dull split second later. You get out of the lane, pass 
the car in front and get back into lane in one sure motion. 

The AMX offers one of the fastest steering wheel 
ratios of any U.S.-built car. 

This means it turns, corners, follows your direction 
simultancously. 


You. The Layman, 


Tf car advertising never tells you about engineering, 
it’s only because you'd never understand. 

Ahhhhh...but then again, maybe you would. 

AMX standard equipment includes a 290 cubic inch 
V-8 with 4-barrel carburetor, rated at 225 HP, a short 
throw, all-syncromesh 4-on-the-floor, dual exhausts, fiber- 
glass belted wide-profile tires, slim-shelled reclining bucket 
seats, 8,000 RPM tach, padded aircraft-type instrument 
panel with deep-set controls, energy absorbing steering 
column, heavy duty springs and shocks, large diameter 
sway bar, rear traction bars. 

And more. 


Are Two Seats Enough? 


Yes. 

There are78,000,000 cars in this country with enough 
seating capacity to carry 450,000,000 people. 

Or one-seventh the population of the entire world. 

However, there are only 200,000,000 people in 
America. 

Leaving 250,000,000 more car seats than people to 
sit in them. А 

Ask yourself 1 you really need more than a 2-seater. 

Your answer may surprise you. 


AMX Inner Space. 

While the AMX isn’t much ofa place to hold meetings, 

it will hold a lot of sport things because it is a sports car. 

Back of the dual bucket seats is a fully-carpeted floor 
space. 

i It's not as big asa trunk, but we can verify that it will 

hold any of the following: 3 good-sized suitcases, a big TV 

set, 2 scuba-diving outfits, 4 parachutes, 3 electric guitars 


and amplifiers. 
‘Things of that nature. 
Or, you can leave it empty. 
And keep the space a space. 


AMX Inner Space Part Il. 


If you need more space, the AMX trunk is where 
you'll find it. 
e It's a lot bigger than you'd expect a sports car trunk 
о be. 
‚ This is possible because we didn't fill the trunk with 
a big spare tire. 
ve gave you The Airless Spare. А 
When you need it, it" wwwwhhhhooooosshh!” inflates. 
The Airless Spare is something every car should have. 
Because it doesn’t take up trunk space with air that 
you don’t need. 


AMX Outer Space. 


You might think thata car offering all of the luggage 
space of the AMX must be a pretty long car. 

But the AMX is an amazing five inches shorter than 
the Corvette. 

And the Corvette is pretty short. 


Will AMX Humber 14 Be More Valuable Than AMX Number 777? 

When you buy your AMX, its production number 
will be set in the dash. 

While this may mean a lot to collectors in the years 
ahead, we do want to point out that all AMX's are made 
with the same attention and quality. 

And while possessing a lower number may have a 
sentimental or prestige value, it does not in any way make 
one AMX better than another. 


Test Drive. 
Before you rush out to buy the new AMX, you should 
know where to rush to. 
The good old phone book has a listing for the Amer- 
ican Motors dealer nearest you. 
He'll arrange your test drive of the new AMX. 
If he still has one.

When we named our shoe the 
Weyenberg Massagic, we had no idea 
we were unleashing a monster. The fact 
is, our image has been scaring a lot of 
people away. So, it's about time we 
straightened the whole thing out. 

A Massagic is very definitely not 
a massaging device. It’s simply a very 
comíortable shoe. And for some very 
good reasons: 

It has a molded (not sewn) foam 
rubber archlift that puts your arch in 
the right place, which improves the pos- 


ture of your whole foot. Which might 
even improve the posture of your whole 
body. 

A steel-shank built in under the 
arch to make sure your shoes never get 
flatfooted. (No matter how much weight 
you carry.) 

A thick rubber cushion with mil- 
lions of air cells. The next best thing to 
walking on air is walking on air cells. 

An extra fat cushion in every heel, 
because heels have to bear the brunt of 
every step. 


Weyenberg Massagic Shoes. 


A top-grade leather that never 
rubs you the wrong way because we rub 
in a coat of wax and let it seep in for 
four days. 

Now, take a close look at the shoe 
above (the one without the fingers). As 
you can see, a shoe that's easy on the feet 
doesn't have to be hard on the eyes. 

So why don't we pretty up our 
image by prettying up our name? 

Because there are a lot of people 
already wearing Massagics. And we want 
them to find us when they come back.

THE PLAYBOY ADVISOR 


С» you teil me how the term “hook: 
for prostitute originated?—P. B. 
ago, Illinois. 

The term comes from the name of 
Joseph Hooker (1814—1879), a U.S. Army 
gencral whose bellicose bravado was 
matched by his predilection for horizon- 
tal female companionship. In New Or- 
leans, during the Civil War, “Fighting 
Joe” Hooker spent so much time cavort- 
ing with the sporting ladies that they 
came to be called “Hooker's Division." 
These specialized troops naturally be- 
came known as “hookers.”

and and Fd like to pick up 
several pieces of antique furniture to

some months ago, the U.S. Bureau of 
Customs changed the law so that items 


that previously would have been subject 
10 лах can now be admitted duty-free. 
Can you give me more information about 
this?—L. S. Boston, Massachusetts. 

The Burcau of Customs now defines 
ап antique as any item more than 100 
years old. Prior to this ruling, no object 
produced after 1830 qualified for the 
Customs’ exemption given to antiques. 
To uvoid problems when clearing Cus- 
toms, carry receipts that clearly identify 
where you obtained your purchases and 
documentation from the dealer certifying 
the age of the items.

F purchased а fairly expensive tennis

best to keep it in good condition. I'm told 
that some type of wax or preservative 
hould be used when storing the racket 
winter, but I've also heard th; 
cover and press will suffice. One other 
point: How often should a tennis racket 
be restrung?—G. Dayton, Ohio. 

А cover and press will adequately pro- 
tect your racket, provided you store it 
in an area away from extreme heat or 


cold; it helps to sprinkle a bit of talcum 
powder in the cover just before you put 
the racket away for the winter. Re- 
stringing depends entirely on how often 
and how hard you play; as long as the 
racket seems to be in good shape, ther 
no reason to incur the expense.

ed and numerous occasions of sexual in-

have always made the sexual advances. 
Either that or. both being drunk, we 
just fell imo bal together, 1 sense that 
there was no great sexual urge on my 
part and feel that I don't really enjoy 
sex. Naturally, 1 wonder if my indiffer-

really think 1 could have) any sexual 
experiences with men. I'm 22, a graduate 
student and lately given to morbi 
sideration of my problems.—M. F., Annis- 
топ, Alabama 

Your inhibition about making sexual 
advances indicates Ihat you may be 
suffering from both fear of failure and a 
residual sense of guilt about sex. The 
fear, and consequent feeling of inade- 
quacy, causes you to wonder about your 
masculinity, while the guilt encourages 
jou to punish yourself when you do par- 
ticipate in sex (under the safest of cir- 
cumstances—loaded or seduced); as а 
result, you don't enjoy it. Neither of 
these characteristics necessarily indi- 
cates homosexuality, but. cither or both 
could easily cause you to be ambivalent 
about your ability and your right to en- 
joy normal sex. We don't think “mor 
bid" consideration is going to help 
much, but a healthy reexamination of 
your attitudes—perhaps with psycho- 
therapeutic aid—might, indeed, be in 


order

REGISTERING THE SEX OFFENDER 

The February Playboy Forum leter 
“Lifelong Bondage" raises important civil 
rights and civil liberties questions: The 
California law on the registration of sex 
offenders stems hom. the same confusion 
that has produced the sexual-psychopath 
laws of many sates. The main thing 
wrong with most of these laws is that 
they don't distinguish between the con 
sensual and the nuisancetype offender 
on the one hand and the dangerous 
molester of children and the forcible 
rapist оп the other. As а resul, many 
harmless sex olfenders are punished. by 
these Jaws for long periods of time. 

There may be justification for keeping 
a register of the dangerous sex offend 
who are actually only a small group i

requiring the те

AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY 

PHOENIS— The gil had a dog and be- 
lieved she was old enough to make her 
own decisions, while her father had a 
2caliber pistol and an inflexible com- 
mitment to the old-time morality. The 
tragedy thal these ingredients produced 
began when 21-year-old college sopho- 
more Linda Marie Ault got home from 
a Friday-cvening dance at 9:30 on Satur- 
day morning. In the course of a heated 
quarrel with her parents, Linda, a divor- 
«се, admitted that she had spent the 
night with a married Air Force officer 
and told her parents that, as a legal 
adult, she could do as she wanted. On 
Sunday, the girl's father, Joseph Ault, 
pronounced. that she must be punished 
for her transgressions. The parents de- 
used a retribution that, they were sure, 
would “wake Linda up": She was to 
be forced to shoot her pet dog, which 
she had owned for about two years. 
They took Linda into the desert about 
100 yards from their house, ve they 
made her dig a shallow grave. The 
mother held the dog, while the father 
put the pistol in Linda's hand. The girl 
pointed the weapon at the dog for a mo- 
ment, then quickly turned it lo her own 
forehead and pulled the trigger. Joseph 
Ault said later that Linda must have be- 
lieved that he was bluffing and hadn't

in her brain and she died in a Phoenix 
hospital the next day. 

Maricopa County Attorney Robert Cor-

charged with involuntary manslaughter. 
“The facts show they were aware of their 
daughter's. emotional state and failed to 
show due caution or care.” he said. Ас 
cording to Gorbin's chief deputy, Moise

that Linda had held а butcher knife

SOMETHING HEALTHY IN DENMARK 

COPENHAGEN—The Danish experiment

BRAINWASHING, AMERICAN STYLE 
In n recent article in the Journal of the 
Ameri atric Society, Dr. Joseph 
Lerner of the Hawaii State Hospital 
warns his fellow psychiatrists that they 
are facing a dilemma. Hitherto, Dr. Le 
пет says, the psychiatrist could put the 
interest of the patient's health above all 
else, but he's now entering an era in 
which he must, тоте and more often, 
choose between his loyalty to the patient 
and his loyalty to the state. The state 
must соте first. With “disloyalty” be- 
coming move widespread, Dr. Lemer adds, 
psychiatrists must redefine “maturity” in 
teris of “the capacity for conformity with 
the broad sanctions of society" and "loyal- 
ty la one's counby.” Psychiatrists must 
work to adjust they patients to that for 
mula rather than lo help “each patient 
mobilize his full individual potential in 
order to achieve "self-vcalization. ”

EXECUTIONS IN U.S. HALTED 

WASBINGION, D An attack on the 
constitidionality of capital punishment has 
virtually stopped executions in the U. S. 
The NAACP Legal Defense and Educa: 
tional Fund, working with the American 
Civil Liberties Union in California, has 
obtained an order from the California Su- 
preme Comt that will stay the executions 
of 69 condemned men. The L. D. F. has 
also won similar stays for all 52 deathvow 
inmates in Florida and is directly involved 
in the cases of over 30 other condemned 
men im ten other states. The issues being 
argued are generally applicable to the 
more than 400 men under death sen- 
tence in the 37 states that have capital 
proushinent. All executions in cases being 
argued by the L.D. Е. will be postponed 
until the constitutional nates raned have 
been decided in the courts, and the 
Fund is prepared to мор any other exe- 
cution anywhere in the country by court 
action. The resulting constitutional con 
novery promises to take years; it is 
doubtful that there will be another exea 
cution in the U.S. until it is settled. 

The Legal Defense and Educational 
Fund has raised four arguments against 
the constitutiouality of capital punish 
ment: (1) the state fails to provide counsel 
Jor condemned men after state courts have 
rejected their appeals: (2) opponents of 
the death penalty are kept off juries: (3) 
there ave no legal standards lo guide juries 
in deciding between lije imprisonment 
and death; (4) the death penalty is “eruet 
and unusual punishment,” forbidden by 
the Eighth Amendment. 

The U.S. Supreme Court has already 
agreed to hear the claims of two men 
that they were deprived of a fair trial 
because of exclusion of foes of capital 
punishment from their juries: William C. 
Witherspoon of Ilinois, sentenced to 
death for shooting a policeman, and 
Wayne D. Bumper of North Carolina, 
sentenced to death for таре.

Thanks for the compliment. Ах for 
the criticism, we'd like to remind you 
that, welcome as our distal] readers are, 
auy primary purpose as expressed in 
reayvpoy's subtitle “Entertainment for 
Men” logically leads to an emphasis on 
male activities, male authors and male 
personalities. This emphasis alsa reflects 
а fact about today's society: that while 
there me important and distinguished 
women in nearly every field of endeavor, 
men have at least а numerical pre ponder- 
ance du том. Even so, PLAYBOY has 
published interviews with such female 
luminaries as Helen Gurley Brown, Grace 
Kelly, Madalyn Murray and Ayn Rand. 
The subjects of this month's interview ave 
Dy. William Masters and his esteemed and 
brilliant female asociate, Mrs. Virginia 
Johnson, 

Finally, we hasen to correct your 
misimpression about our cartoons, А fig- 
me appearing in a cartoon is. intended 
to be a figuie of fun, and we like to think 
our “stereotypes” are funny, not “nasty.” 
Here, again—true to our purpoe—we 
publish many more caricatures of middle 
d men than of middle-aged women.

NUDITY AND HUMANITY 

The Reverend J. Benton White, who 
said that there is something “almost de- 
nizing” about fea- 
tures the Playmate of the Month, 
evidently thinks ihat people we

wearing clothes. This kind of logic needs 
no refutation. 

Obviously, the Reverend had not seen

wrote his lener. I don't believe 1 have

bad habit that ate at me like a chronic

CONSENSUAL ADULTERY 

The registered nurse who wrote to the 
February Playboy Forum about all the 
adultery-caused spouse bashings she had 
seen was altogether off the point. The 
cases to which she referred involved be- 
waval and deceit: the adulterers who 
wrote 10 the Forum—if we can believe 
them—had the consent of their spouses. 
The leners clearly stated that each form 
of adultery worked well for each indi 
vidual couple. A succesful marriage 
is based on communication, 


problems openly rather than refusing to 
talk about them. 

I was dismayed by the January Forum 
letter condemning “the spewings of adul 
terers and whores.” It is unfortunate that 
we still have some Torquemadas around

ever conducted in the history of science. 
In their St. Louis laboratory, financed 
originally by Washington University 
Medical School, Masters and Johnson 
observed. and vecorded—on color film, 
with conventional medical recording de- 
vices and with а unique invention. of 
their own called an artificial. phallus— 
the sexual response of 382 females and 
312 males in the acts of intercourse and 
automanipulation. 

The completed text, even though it 
conlaiued a glossary of medical terns, 
may have been a disappointment to many 
of its nonmedical purchasers, Going out 
of their way not to appeal to the lay 
reader, the authors loaded the book with 
an almost impenetrable thicket of Latinate 
medicatese, woven into mind-bo en- 
tentes such as: “This maculopapular type 
of erythematous rash first appears over the 
epigastrinm.” Not even the hyperactive 
imagination of an Anthony Comstock 
could have found this prose sexually 
stimulating. 

The rewards for those who could pierce 
the linguistic barrier, however, made й 
worth the effort. Authoritative injorma- 
tion about the very essence of human 
sexuality, long a subject of emotionally 
charged guesswork even among scien- 
tists. was here definitively recorded for 
the firt time. After classifying the sexual 
response eyele into four phases

charged that Masters and Johnson had

their research subjects were nol typical 
and that they had neglected the psycho 
logical aspects of sex. “Qualities such as 
modesty, privacy, reticence, abstinence, 
chastity, fidelity, shame—could now be 
questioned as rather arbitrary matters 
that interfered with the health of the 
sexual parts.’ Farber wrote. He went 
on to accuse Masters and Johnson of 


endowing ihe female with orgasmic 
privileges that perhaps she had not 


earned. “My guess, which is nol subject 
to laboratory proof.” wrote Farber, “is

exual Body Mechanics" and keyed the 
greater part of a book review to this 
theme. Professor Goldman was appalled 
by the possibility that some of the sub- 
jects who participated in the ex periments 
might actually have enjoyed themselves, 
and he was distressed by Masters and 
Johnson's efforts to enhance the sexuality 
of the elderly. “One wishes,” Goldman 
wrote, “thal we could return to the wis 
dom of an earlier time that accepted 
physical decline and sought compensa- 
tions in punuits that transcend the 
physical.” The Ladies’ Home Journal 
published an article by staffer Lois Che- 
valier, who expressed grave concern that 
Masters and Johnson's work “ignored all 
the questions that it immediately raised in 
any ordinary person's. mind —questions 
oj morality, decency, human value" 

But after the initial shack had worn 
off, most commentary about “Human 
Sexual Response” was considerably less 
concerned with the “decency” of the 
project than with its immense scientific 
value—specifically, with the fact that 
light was being shed in an area that had 
always been what psychoanalyst’ George 
Krupp called “the dark side of the moon.” 
The Journal of the American Medical 
Association—long a bastion of conserva 
tism—editorialized: “To some, sex js the 
ultimale атса of privacy, and hence not 
appropriate for study and evaluation. No 
scientific criteria can justify such a con- 
clusion." The editorial went on to ask, 
“Why way this study so long in coming?" 
and then answered, “We may look upon 
Masters’ in 
inevitable consequence of changing cul 
tural environment" Dr. Colin Hindley of 
the University of London commented in 
the Daily Mail, If we ae inclined to 
regard sexual union as something so sarro- 
sanct that it should not be open to inves- 
tigation, we should remember that a 
similar view was laken regarding the stars 
in Galileo's day.” 

Commenting on the specific nature of 
the work, MD magazine concluded in an 
editorial, “Very little of the research re- 


stigation ах а natural and 


sembles the assumptions of some critics" 
and the * measure of the study's 
professional acceptance... is that 25 


medical schools have instituted courses 
in the physiology of human sexual те 
sponse, and H more are beginning in the 
coming semester. The text in use is their 
book; there is no other." Medical biolo- 
git Alex Comfort. predicted in the New 
Statesman thal the critics of “Human 
Sexual Response" “will be coming round 
eventually for a consultation and will be 
glad to find that something is known 
about their particular problem and its 
management... . When 1 think of the 
prohibitive and moralistic kinks which 
have obsessed the medical men of the 
last two centuries, 1 cannot bring myself 
to be very anxious about Dr. Masters 
and his institute.” 

The man primarily responsible for all 


this tumult would seem ill-cast for the 
role. Softspoken in manner, prudent in 
behavior, tweedy in appearance and 
moderate in almost all his views, William 
Howell Masters reminds one of the benign 
family physician rather than the mad 
scientist envisaged by some of his critics. 
Born im Cleveland in 1915, he was a 
better-than-averas е student with a strong 
penchant for sports, but no inkling of his 
medical bent until after he received his 
B.S. from. Hamilton College at Clinton, 
New York, in 1938, He entered the Uni- 
versity of Rochester School of Medicine 
and Dentistry in 1939 with the idea of 
becoming a laboratory researcher, bul 
changed his mind under the tutelage of 
Dr. George Washington Comer, a fa- 
mous anatomist and ат unsung pioneer 
in the pre-Kinsey ета of sex research and 
education. By the time he married. Flisa- 
beth Ellis in 1942, and recewed his 
M.D, degree in 1913, Masters had al- 
ready set his sights on research. in ihe 
physiology of sex. But he was advised by 
Corner to wait until he was somewhat 
more mature in years, until he had 
achieved a reputation in some research 
area not related to sex and until he could 
call upon the resources of a great univer- 
sity medical school to support him. 
(Wilh the exception. of medicat-school 
support, these were the criteria estab- 
lished by Alfred Kinsey before he began 
his interviewing in the sociology of sex.) 
Iccordingly, Masters trained—fram 1913 
to 1947 —in. obstetrics and gynecology, 
and then taught these subjects at Wash- 
ington University, His two children, a 
те born in 1950 and 


girl and a boy, 
1051: and it was during the latter year 
that he was certified in his specialties. 
By 1951, he had published 25 papers in 
the medical literature and had established 
expertise in hormone-replacement therapy 
for postmenopausal women. He decided 
then that he was ready to begin the study 
of human sexual response 

He met Мау Virginia Eshelman 
Johnson in a highly undramatic manner 
through the employment bureau of 
Washington University, where she had 
filed a job application. “1 was looking for 
a mature woman who had a keen inler 
est in people and who knew where babies 
came from.” yecalls Masters. “Mrs. John- 
son fit all these qualifications.” Born in 
1925 in Springfield, Missouri, she studied 
music at Drury College from 1940 to 1912 
and sociology at the University of Mis- 
sonri from 1944 to 1947. Married in 1950, 
she had two children, a boy and a girl, 
before being divorced in 1956, Prior to 
joining Dr. Masters as his research asso 
ciate the following year. she had had а 
varied. background, including advertising 
research, administra work and business 
writing, She was given a conewrent aca- 
demic appointment by the Washington 
University School of Medicine as research 
assistant in 1960 and elevated to research 
instructor in 1902; she cnrolled as a 


doctoral candidate in psychology at the 
university in 1964. 

It was Mrs Johnson who greeted 
aynoy Senior Editor Nat Lehrman in 
their headquarters, the offices of the Re- 
productive Biology Research Founda- 
tion, which occupy a large segment of 
а modern. medical center and resemble 
any doctor s chambers—exce pt that they're 
more spacious and contain тоте physio- 
logical testing equipment, The interview 
began here—and ended five sessions later 
in Mrs. Johnson's suburban ranch home. 
During the entire interview, both she and 
Dr. Masters evinced а finely tuned antici- 
pation of each other's thoughts, occasional- 
ly finishing cach other's sentences and 


frequently engaging each other in ani- 
mated discussion of a particular point. 
Mrs. 
tended to wrap layers of illuminating 
qualification around hard nuggets of fact: 
Dr. Masters, articulate and precise. often 
pressed his finger tips. together thought- 
fully beneath his chin and peered out the 
window before responding to a question. 
We began the interview by asking them 
about the controversial book that turned 
them into unexpected celebrities.

PLAYBOY: We've been told that there was 
a voluntary press blackout regarding your 
experiments while they were being con-

PLAYBOY: One of the greatest areas of 
misinterpretati ares to the purpose 
of the mech devices and equip- 
ment used in your experiments. Would 
you tell us about them? 

MASTERS: Besides the artificial phallus, we 
used ihe routine cardiograph type of 
recordings for heart rate, blood pressure, 
pulse, respiratory rate, and so on. We 
so used cameras, so that we could study 
in slow motion what happened. 
PLAYBOY: In your book, you described 
the artifical phallus as plastic, utilizing 
cold light illum n” that allows ob- 
servation and recording without distor- 
tion. You wrote: “The equipment can be 
adjusted for physical variations in size, 
weight and vaginal development. The rate 
and depth of penile thrust is initiated and 
controlled completely by the responding 


individual" Why did you construct this 
device? 
MASTERS: First, let me point out that the 


tilicial phallus was the only piece of 
mechanical equipment that would not be 
considered standard in any physiolog 
laboratory. |t was designed dor intra 
vaginal observation and photography—to 
show us what was happening inside the 
vagina during the various phases of sex- 
ual response. Tt was also used 10 evaluate 


intravaginal contraceptive materials. In 
the old days—the pre-pill days—the meth- 
od of evaluating contraceptives was to go 
to а distressed. area, such as Puerto Rico, 
d disseminate the experimental. contra- 
ceptive to the population. Then the num- 
ber of pregnancies was recorded, in terms 
of theoretical years of exposure, and а 
graph was plotted. We avoided any un- 
wanted. pregnancies by actually observing 
the action of the contraceptive in the 
laboratory. 

There was another use for the artificial 
phallus that D should mention. It was 
used on several occasions for women or 
girls who were born without vaginas, а 
condition called "vaginal agenesis.” We 
developed а technique in which a vagina 
сап be aeated without the necessity of 
surgery. But the artificial phallus has long 
since been disassembled and we have no 
plans for reconstructing it. 

JOHNSON: This may be an appropriate 
time 10 put to rest a popular misconcep- 
tion created by Ше mass media—that is, 
the titllating assumption that the only 
purpose of the artificial phallus was to 
stimulite sexual response, This was not 
the case. During artificial coition, the re- 
search subjects never could achieve orgasm 
by use of the phallus alone—they all had 
to employ additional selfstimutation de- 
rived from their own personal preferences 
and previously established patterns. The 
point is, a female responds sexually to that 
which is endowed for her with sexual 
meaning. Over a period of time, all the 
women in our sample probably could have 
oriented themselves to respond to the ex- 
clusive use of a phallic device if they had 
been so motivated: but to them, the Tab- 
oratory phallus was nothing in or of itself, 
and neither the situation nor their own 
personal interest required that they make 
it so. Consequently, the only reason for 
ing this device was to 
provide an opportunity for definitic 
nd measurement of the ginal 
environment. 

PLAYBOY: In reference to your camer: 
work, some of your less informed critics 
you were, in effect,

MASTERS: "hats totally untrue. The cam- 
ста was usd solely to record specific 
physiologic reactions—skin changes, vag-

Carroll Shelby's COBRA GT | 


Carroll Shelby reasons that a true GT needs everything for high performance pleasure, comfort and safety engineered 
right in, not just offered as afterthought options. That's why his Cobra GT is a complete surprise to those who see it 
and drive it for the first timc. O Surprise number one is style. Subtle changes in grille, hood, sides, rear deck add a 
fresh, exclusive look. Interior luxury follows through with deep-bucket seats, walnut-grain appliques, front seat center 
console-armrest, courtesy lights, full instrumentation. O Naturally, you expect performance . . . but the GT 5005 Shelby- 
ized 428 cubic inch V-8 rewrites the performance charts with surprising smoothness. А 302 V-8 is Shelby-prepared for the 
GT 350. Special wide-path tires, 160-1 power steering, modified suspension and adjustable super-duty shocks deliver 
firm control but with enough velvet to make an all-day trip a pleasure. Г] Safety features are engineered-in, too. These 
include an overhead safety bar and inertia-ree] shoulder harnesses, impact-absorbing steering wheel, dual braking 
system. O By engineering his other surprises into the great-to-start-with Mustang, Carroll Shelby's biggest surprise is 
the small price. D Your Shelby dealer will prove just how big that surprise can be.

publicized findings concerns the [our 
phases of sexual response—excitement, 
plateau, orgasm and resolution. Quoting 
from your book: “The first or excitenu 
phase of the human cycle of sexual re- 
sponse develops from any source of som; 
togenic or psychogenic stimulation. The 
stimulative factor is of major import in 
establishing sufficient increment of sexual 
tension to extend the cycle. .. . 

"From excitement phase the human 
male or female enters the second or pl. 
team phase of the sexual cycle. if effective 
sexual stimulation is continued. In this 
phase sexual tensions are intensified and 
subsequently reach the extreme level from 
which the individual ultimately may move 
to orgasm... . 

"The orgasmic phase is limited to 
those few seconds during which the vaso-

Those males who suffer from long- 
nued "plateau phase" frustration usu-

congestion that way. 

PLAYBOY: You used the term ejaculation, 
not orgasm, In the male, is there a dis- 
tinction between the two? 

MASTERS: Male orgasm is actually a two- 
stage affair, The first stage is identifiable 
by a sensation of “ejaculatory inevitabili- 
ty." This is when he no longer сап con- 
trol the ejaculation but belore he actually 
has any seminalüuid emission. This 
stage of cjaculatory inevitability lasts 
two to four seconds and is occasioned by 
contractions of the prostue gland and 
possibly the seminal vesicles. This renc- 
tion pools the seminal fluid in that por- 
tion of the urcthra that runs through the 
prostate, just outside the bladder. The 


remaining part of the male orgasm—ihat

the expulsion of 
ıl fluid throughout the length 
of the penile urethra by contractions of 
the penile and urethral musculature. The 
female orgasm, by contrast, is but a one- 
stage affair. 
PLAYBOY: Did you d 
that women ejaculate? 

MASTERS: We have heard from four women 
who claimed that, with orgasm. they have 
an overwhelming release of fluid. But 
we've never had the opportunity to cvalu- 
ate these women the Liborator 
JOHNSON, There arc large numbers of 
women who have physical manifestations 
that fit their belief that they ejaculate. 
The fact that many women urinate un- 
der the intensity of an emotional experi- 
ence may very well be a factor here. But 
we don’t know. 

PLAYBOY: You have compiled data bear- 
ing on the belief that the size of a man's 
penis can influence a woman's sexual re- 
sponsiveness. Would you tell us about it? 
MASTERS: “There has long been a myth 
that penile size relates to male stimula- 
tive prowess. We found this not to be 
muc. In the first place, the size of the 
penis usually has been judged in йз Пас

Vaginal expansion, of course, is purcly

JOHNSON: It helps to realize that the va-

the vagina is virtually an infinitely ex 
pandable organ. After all, it gocs from а 
collapsed state to a size large enough to

MASTERS: Of course, we have been talk 
ing about physiological response. Psycho- 
logically, if the woman really believes 
that the kuger penis in its flaccid stare 
is going to make a difference when it 
becomes erect, then for her it might. 
But the really experienced woman would 
agree that size doesn't make а crucial 
difference. There are phy 
concerning obstetric

can result in a chronically distended organ 
that might have difficulty adjusting to the 
erect penis. regardless of its size. 
PLAYBOY: Another penile myth concerns 
the sexual responsiveness of the circum- 
ced versus the uncircumcised | penis. 
What cin you tell us about this? В 
MASTERS. The uncircumcised male—and. 
in some versions of the folklore, the cir 
cwncised male—is presumed to have а 
greater tendency toward premature ejacu- 
lation, because he can be more easily stim- 
ulated. We have no evidence that cither 
presumption is true. Fundamentally. we 
can't find any diflerences in reaction time. 
or sensate focus, between the circumcised 
and the uncircumcised male 

PLAYBOY: Yet another misconception dis 
cussed in your book relates to the con 
tove Freudian theory about the 
clitoral versus the vaginal orgasm. Would 
you elaborate? 
MASTERS: It was Fr

presumed they were entirely separate

cates that this is not the case. Certain 
clitoral changes occur with simulation 
of either the clitoral area or the vaginal

These changes are anatomically and phys

PLAYBOY: Manual stimulation of the dli-

extremely tender area, which the female

PLAYBOY: Some of your critics think that 
your work contributes to a general over- 
emphasis of the subject of female or- 
gasm. Whats your reply? 

MASTERS: We don't think you can over- 
emphasize the importance of this subject. 
But it certainly has been belabored out 
of its proper context. The Sixties could 
be labeled the decade of orgasmic pre- 
occupation. It’s been only in the past 
seven or eight years that this focus on 
female orgasm has emerged. Some women 
are developing a fear of nonperformance

It may sell magazines, but it also creates

JOHNSON: Orgasmic preoccupation could

women respond sexually with more of

JOHNSON: П that seems formidable, try 
to think of it as what the body does in 
response to sexual interest 

PLAYBOY: Does this tension differ in any 
way from what is usually referred to as 
the sex drive? 

JOHNSON: Sex drive has become such a 
general term that it doesn't have а рге

PLAYBOY: Can sexual tension һе 
pressed or denied? 

JOHNSON: It be denied and it can 
bc displaced—that is. expressed in a 
nonsexual way. Most likely. if suppressed, 
it will be expressed involuntarily, through 
nocturnal emissions and erections or pelvic 
vasocongestion and vaginal lubrication 
These cannot be put aside. 

PLAYBOY: Do women experience anything 
analogous to the male nocturnal emission?

He has a lot going for him—and discerning women discover it quickly. And when it comes to starting 
something new, the PLAYBOY reader holds the key. Facts: PLAYBOY reaches more males 18-34 in 
households owning a sports cycle than any magazine. It's first among all monthlies in cycle adver-

When the first gray light of the morning made the shape of the window 
visible, he dressed quickly

There were shadows of night still remaining in the empty streets, so that

He turned а dark corner and saw the hotel lights in the distance. A taxi 
came swiltly 10 the cross-town corner, made a wrenching, shuddering turn 
and sped up the empty avenue, and he caught a sillioucue glimpse of the 
Поле hats of nuns in the duk interior, two or duce of them. 

He had not been in the hotel for years. He saw at once that it was quite 
changed. That certain quaimness of the lobby that once set off the 
style of the monied people and the women of the theater was now 
shabbiness. He realized that he could have guessed it, be

He felt umaccountably shy about revealing what they had given him. He

get fanciful. It just makes everything harder to explain when things go

Leo led the way back through the lob-

where night lights picked up the gleam

Three steps down, he turned to s

as he turned, the door was slammed. 
There were distant lights in the vast 
reaches of the basement, just enough for 
him to make out the red pipe suspended 
by straps from the low ceiling overhead. 
There was a sweaty dampness in the 
basement. In some far corner, a laboring 
machine was making a slow and heavy 
chulling sound. It made a vibration he 
could feel through the soles of his shoes 
as he walked. He noticed that the red

Henne Fire, as she was called, 
a fire from Gehenna, 1 know one should not speak evil of the 
dead and she suffered enough for her sins. Was it her fault 
that there always a blaze within her? Опе could see it in 
her eyes: two coals. It was frightening to look at them. She 
was black as a gypsy, with a marrow face, sunken cheeks, 
emaciated—skin and bone. Once 1 saw her bathing in the river. 
Her ribs protruded like hoops. How could some: е Henne 
put on fat? Whatever one said to her, no matter how innocently, 
she immediately took offense. She would be to scream, shake 
her fists and spin around like a crazy person. Her face would 
turn white with anger, If you tried to defend yourself, she was 
ready to swallow you alive. She'd start smashing dishes. Every 
few weeks her husband, Tevia Chazkeles, had to buy a new set 

She suspected everybody. The whole town was out to get her 
When she flew into а rage, she said things that would not even 
nsane person. Swearwords poured from her mouth 
like worm-eaten peas. She knew every curse in the holy book 
by heart vas not beyond throwing a stone. Once in the 
middle of winter, she broke a neighbor's windowpane. The 
neighbor never learned why. 

Henne had children, four girls; but as soon as they grew up, 
they ran away from home. One became a servant in Lublin; 
one left for America; the most beautiful, Malkeleh, died of 
scarlet fever; and the fourth married an old man. Anything was 
better than living with Henne.

ISAAC BASHEVIS SINGER 291 once when he left for work 

at dawn, I heard her call after 
him: "Come back feet first!” I can't imagine what he could 
have done. He gave her his last groschen and he loved her, too. 
How could one love such a fiend? Only God knows. In any 
case, who can understand. what goes on in the heart of a man? 

My dear people, even he finally ran away from her. One 
summer morning, a Friday, he left to go to the ritual bath 
and disappe: red like a stone in the water. When Henne heard 
he was scen leaving the village, she fell down in an epileptic 
fit right in the gutter. She knocked her head on a stone, hissed 
like а snake and foamed at the mouth. Someone pushed a key 
into her left hand, bu t help. Her kerchief fell off and 
revealed the fact d not shave her head. She was 
carried home. I've never seen such a face, as green as grass, 
her eyes rolled up. The moment she came to, she began to 
ik from then on never stopped. It was said that 
she even swore in her sleep. Yom Kippur she stood in the 
women's section of the synagogue and as the rabbi's wife recited 
the prayers for those who could nor read, Henne berated the 
the самог, the elders. On her husband she called forth 
k judgment, wished him smallpox and gangrene. She 
also blasphemed against God. 

After Tevia forsook her, she went completely wild. As a rule, 
Abandoned woman made a living by kneading dough 
other people's houses or by becoming a servant. But who would

curse and I th 


sell fish on Thursdays; but when a woman asked the price, 
Henne would reply, "You are not going lo buy anyhow, so 
why do you come here just to tease me? You'll poke around 
and buy elsewhere." 
One housewife picked up a fish and lifted its 
was fresh. He med, “Why 
do you smell it? 15 it beneath your dignity to eat rouen fish?” 
And she sang out a list of sins allegedly commited by the 
woman's parents, grandparents and greacgrandparents, back 10 
the tenth generation, The other fishmongers sold their wares 
and Henne remained with a tubful. Every few weeks, Henne 
washed her clothes. Don't ask me how she carried оп. She 
quarreled about everything: the washtubs, the clotheslines, the 
water pump. If she found a speck of dust on a shirt hanging 
up to dry, she blamed it on her neighbors. She herself tore 
down the lines of others. One heard her yelling over half the 
town. People were afraid of her and gave in, but that was no 
good, either. If you answered her, she raised a rumpus and if 
you kept silent, she would scream, “Is it a disgrace to talk to 
me?” There was no dealing with her without being insulted 
At first, her daughters would come home from the big towns 
for the holidays. They were good girls; they all took after 
Tevia. One moment mother and daughter would kiss and 
embrace and before you knew it, there would be a cat fight 
in Butcher Alley, where we lived. Plates crashed, windows were 
broken. The girl would run out of the house as though she had 
been poisoned and Henne alter her with a stick, screaming, 
мані, dreg, whore, you should have dissolved in your 
mother's belly" After Tevia deserted her, Henne suspected 
that her daughters knew his whereabouts. Although they swore 
holy oaths that they didn't, Henne would rave, "Your mouths 
will grow out the back of your heads for swearing falsely.” 
What could the poor girls do? They avoided her like the 
plague. And Henne went to the village teacher and made him 
write letters for her saying that she disowned them. She was 
no longer their mother and they were no longer her daughters. 
Still, in a small town, one is not allowed to starve, Good 
people took pity on Henne. They took her soup, garlic borscht, 
a loal of bread, potatoes, or whatever they had ло offer, and 
left it on the threshold. To enter her house was like walking 
to a lion's den. Henne seldom tasted these gifts. She threw 
m into the garbage ditch. Such people thrive on fighting 
ince the grownups ignored her, Henne began to quarrel 
with the children. A boy passed by and Henne snatched his 
cap because she imagined he had stolen pears from her tree. 
"The pears were as hard as wood and tasted the same; a pig 
wouldn't eat them. She just needed an excuse. She was always 
lying and she called everybody else a liar. She went to the 
chief of police and denounced half the town, accusing this опе 
of being a forger and that one of smuggling contraband from 
Galicia. She reported that the Hasidim were disrespectful of 
the саг. In the fall, when the recruits were being drafted, 
Henne announced ket place that the rich boys were

even refused when she wanted to buy a seat for the

Days of Awe. Things came to such a pass 
that when she went to the well to get 
water, everyone ran as simply 
dangerous t0 go 

She did пос е 


n respect the dead. A 
hearse passed by and Henne spat at it, 
calling out that the dead man's soul 
should wander in the wastelands forever. 
‘The better type of people turned a deaf 
ar to her; but when the mourners were 
of the common kind, she got beaten up. 
She liked to be beaten; that is the truth. 
She would run around showing off a 
bump given her by this one, а black eye 
by that one. She ran to the leech and the 
druggist for salves. She kept summoning 
everybody to the rabbi, but the beadle 
would no longer listen to her and the 
rab order forbidding her 
nter his study. She also tried her luck 
with the gentiles, but they only laughed 
at her, Nothing remained to her but God. 
And according to Henne, she and the 
Almighty were on the best of rerms. 

Now, listen to what happened. There 
called Kopel Klotz who 
lived near Henne. Once in the middle of 
the night, he was awakened by screams 
for help. He looked out of the window 
and saw that the house of the shoemaker 
across the street was on fire. He grabbed 

il of water and went to help put it 
the fire was not at the shoe- 
it was at Henne’s. It was only the 
reflection that he had seen in the shoe- 
maker's window. Kopel ran to her house 
and found everything burning—the ta- 
ble, the bench, the cupboard. It wasn't 
a usual fire. Little flames flew around 
like birds. Henne's nightshirt was burn- 
ing. Kopel tore it off her and she stood 
there as naked as the day she was born. 

A fire in Butcher Alley is no small 
thing. The wood of the houses is dry 
even in winter. From one spark, the 
whole alley could turn into ashes. People 
came to the rescue, but the flames 
danced and turned somersaults. Every 
moment, something else became ignited 
Henne covered her naked body with a 
shawl and the fringes began to burn like 
so many candles. The men fought the 
fire until dawn. Some of them were over- 
come by the smoke. These were not 
flames but imps from hell. 

In the morning, there was another 
outburst. Hennes bed linen began to 
burn of itself. That ay, I visited 
Henne's hut. Her sheet was full of holes, 
the quilt and [eather bed, too, The

Tongues of flame licked everything. God 
save us, these were ticks of the Evil 
Host. Henne sent everybody to the Dev- 
il: and now the Devil had turned on her. 

Somehow the fire was put ош. The 
people of Butcher Alley warned the rab-

As Henne 


ood in the rabbi's study, 
pl h him to let her stay, her 
house went up in flames. A flame burst 
from the roof and it had the 5 
man with long hair, It danced 
ded, The church bells rang . 
"The firemen tried their best, but in a few 
minutes, nothing was left but a chimney 
and a heap of burning embers. 

Later, Henne spread the rumor that 
her neighbors had set her house on fire. 
But it was not so. Who would try a thing 
like that, especially with the wind blow- 
ing? There were scores of witnesses to the 
contrary. The fiery image had waved its 
arms and laughed madly. Then it had 
isen into the air and disappeared among, 
the. clouds. 

It was then that Henne began to be 
called Henne с. Until then, she was 
known as Black Henne. 


When Henne found herself without a 
roof over her head, she tried to move 
into the poorhouse, but the poor and sick 
would not let her in. Nobody wants to 
be burned alive. For the first time, she 
became silent. A gentile wood chopper 
took her into his house. The moment she 
crossed the threshold, the handle of his 
ax caught fire and out she went. She 
would have frozen to death in the cold if 
the rabbi hadn't taken her in. 

"The rabbi had a booth not far from his 
house that was used during the Sukkoth 
holidays. It had a roof that could be 
opened and closed by a series of pulleys. 
The rabbi's son installed a tin stove so 
that Henne would not freeze. The rab- 
bi's wife supplied a bed with a straw 
mattress aud linen. What else could they 
do? Jews don't let a person perish. They 
hoped the demons would respect а Suk- 
koth booth and that it would not catch 
fire. True, it had no mezuzah, but the 
rabbi hung a talisman on the wall in 
stead. Some of the townspeople offered 
to take food to Henne, but the rabbi's 
wife said, “The le she eats I can 
provide.” 

"The winter cold began immediately 
after the Sukkoth holidays and it lasted 
until Purim. Houses were snowed under. 
In the morning. one had to dig oneself 
out with a shovel. Henne lay in bed all 
day. She was not the same Henne: She 
was docile as a sheep. Yet evil looked out 
of her eyes. The rabbi's son fed her stove 
every morning. He reported in the study 
house that Henne lay all day tucked into 
her feather bed and never uttered a word. 
"The rabbi's wife suggested that she come 


into the kitchen and perhaps help a little 
with the housework. Henne refused. “I

she said. It was whispered 
in the town that perhaps the Evil One 
had left her.

life becomes unbearable. А raft was used 
to cross Bridge Street. ‘The bakery had 
begun preparing matzoh for Passover, 
but г seeped into the sacks and 
made the flour unusable. 

Suddenly, a scream was heard from 
the rabbi's house. The Sukkoth booth 
had burst into flames like а paper lan- 
tern. It happened in the middle of the 
night. Later, Henne related how а fiery 
hand had reached down from the roof and 
in a second everything was consumed. 
She had grabbed a blanket t0 co! he

yard, without clothes on. Did the rabb 
have a choice? He had to take her in. His 
stopped sleeping at night. He 
said to the rabbi, "I shouldn't be allowed. 
to do this to you." Even before the booth 
had burned down, the rabbi's married 
daughter, Taube, had packed her trous 
scau into a shect to be ready to save it at 
a moment's notice, in case of fire. 

The next day, the community. elders 
called a meeting. There was much talk 
and haggling, but they couldn't come 
to a decision. Someone proposed that 
Henne be sent to another town. Henne 
burst into the rabbi's study, her dress in 
tatters, a living scarecrow. "Rabbi 
lived here all my life, and here 1 м 
die. Let them dig me a grave and bury 
me. The cemetery will not catch. fire." 
She had found her tongue again and 
everybody was surprised. 

Present at the meeting was Reb Zeli

ly made а suggestion: "Rabbi, I will 
build her a little house out of brick. 
Bricks don't burn." 

He asked по pay for his work, just his

THERE'S ONE EVERY SEC 


Put three walnut shells and а pea into the hands of an old-time сату con man and the suckers will flock to part with their long green 


nostalgia By DANIEL MANNIX ever near of a little game 
consisting of three walnut shells and a pea? People are still 
trying to guess under which shell the pea is hidden. 1 see by 
the papers that a man pulled into a gas station in Blackwood, 
New Jersey, and made $40 teaching the service attendant 
the mysteries of the sport. Then there were the two grifters 
on the race train to Havre de Grace who made 51000 
convincing the passengers that they couldn't find the little 
joker. Good thing, too, or the passengers might have lost the 
moncy foolishly at the race track, Гус a notion my old 
friend Neversweat must still be around, although I haven't 
seen him for years. 

The first time | saw Neversweat, I was worl 
sword swallower in a litle rag show of a carniv; 
the gritsand-fatback route in southern Virgi 
heading for the cook tent after the “all out and over” when I 
saw Neversweat standing by the side wall of the sideshow top 
behind a small collapsible table with a crowd 
Instead of the walnut shells, he was using thre 
but I recognized the game instantly. I couldn't believe 
anyone was still sucker enough to bet on this old grift. 

Neversweat was a Mexican and it was obvious to the un- 
initiated that he didn't know too much about the game. He 
handled the boule caps clumsily, grinding out a spiel in 
broken English: “Come close, for she don't cost you to look. 
Now 1 got the sheep turd here; now I got her there. You sec 
it now, but then you see nothing. My hand is quick, your eye 
not so quick. If you pay money, you pick any one. 

When he stopped, I could sec that the pea was caught 
under the edge of a cap. А man beside me swore to himself 
and threw down a $20 bill. He turned the bottle cap and 
collected. Neversweat shuffled the caps again, but this time 
the pea was hidden. The man bet only five dollars and I could 
sec he'd made a mistake and picked the wrong cap. He 
hadn't been watching closely enough. When the man turned 
the сар over and found no pea, he cursed and threw the cap 
on the ground, 

Neversweat sii 
you want to get sore about?" 

5; you like it, greaser?' 
that’s just too damn bad. 

Neversweat bent over to pick up the cap. As he did so, 
the man lifted the two other caps, revealing the pea under 
one of them. Neversweat straightened up and asked, without 
touching the caps, “Anyone want to bet on these two?” 

The man pulled out a roll of bills, but Neversweat told 
You too lucky. I don't bet ud 
aid, “ГИ bet ten dollars if you don't touch the caps," 
sure that he'd refuse. 

Instead, he told те, "Go ahead." 1 knew the pea must 
still be under the cap Га seen it under, for he hadn't gone 
н down my ten dollars and turned it over. The 
pea was gone. Neversweat produced it from under the other 
cap and went on with the grind. 

All I could think of was that it must be a trick table 
Several men in the crowd begin betting, some winning and 
some losing. The man beside me, who'd already won $15 
from Neversweat, stood watching the game, never taking 
his eyes off the table. Hc suid to me in а low voice, "He 
always does the same thing. I've got it figured now, if hc 
doesn't slip the pea ош.” He suddenly reached out and. put 
finger on one of the caps so Neversweat couldn't move it

I reached into my pocket for some

shove him aside and we bumped the ta-

operator instantly places the pea under 
another block, so he can show his hands

He always picks a certain block becaus

The second routine is called “over the 


top.” Iu placing the center block охе 
the pea, the operator does it clumsily, 


so the block doesn’t completely cover the 
pea. Then. by slightly jarring the table. the 
block is made to slip down. The operator 
shuffles the two other blocks; but as he 
docs so. he strikes the center block on 
the side with one of the blocks im h

sees is that the operator never touched 


the center block with his hand. 
As the operator ipulating the 
blocks, he keeps up a steady flow of con- 
versation, known as the grind. The grind 
is a standard patter interspersed with

thas picture-pretty playmate is 
an accomplished model and aspiring artist 


"Being a model is fun,” says Playmate 
Elizabeth Jordan, "but it's also hard work. 
Most people don’t realize how difficult 
and exhausting it is to hold a single pose 
for the better part of an hour, but every 
model docs.” When Liz, 23, returns from 
a photo session—she's been featured on 
the covers of national magazines, has posed 
for fashion spreads and millinery ads and 
has modeled her hands—she relaxes by 
painting. “I'm an old-school art lover— 
I like realism,” she notes. “The two paint- 
ers who have most influenced my own 
work are Picasso in his Blue Period—when 
he was sane—and Van Gogh.” Miss Jor- 
dan will shortly move from Los Angeles 
to Arizona, where she plans to do little 
but paint for “at least several months.” 
Elizabeth's other avocation is teaching 
Indian youngsters how to- draw. Part 
Cherokee herself, Liz is outspoken on the 
subject of Indian affairs, "Our Govern 
ment has consistently maltreated, and then 
ignored, the Indians. More Federal aid to 
Indian education and housing would 
rapidly change their status as second-class 
citizens.” Miss Jordan's been doing vol- 
unteer work at the Los Angeles Indian 
Center and intends to do more of the 
same in Phoenix. In addition to her 
artistic and charitable endeavors, Eliza- 
beth, an avid equestrienne, plans to 
purchase a horse while іп Arizona—her 
favorites are Appaloosas and Tennessee 
Walking Horses. Concludes Miss Jordan: 
“I'm really looking forward to long rides 
into the Arizona desert. I'm not a city 
girl at heart; I like the wide-open spaces.” 


Before embarking on a long fashion shooting, Elizabeth, left, re 
laxes at home. Later, with photographer Glenn Embree, top, she's 
filled in on the many wardrobe changes she'll make during the 
morning. The modeling session behind her, our girl on the go 
above, telephones the Los Angeles Indian Center to find out if some 
needed art supplies have arrived, makes plans to stop by in the 
afternoon to lend a hand. Says Liz: “A friend of mine who works 
for the board of education introduced me to Ernie Stevens, director 
of the Indian Center. | told him I'd like to help, and all of а sud- 
den I was teaching Indian kids how to draw and really having a 
ball. Ernie's also interested in becoming a fashion designer. He 
needed an artist to illustrate his creations—they're very original, 


incidentally—and I've been able to help him out that way as well."

One of Playmate Elizabeth Jordan's pet 
predilections is a fondness for wild hats. 
She often indulges her passion at the 
Hole in the Wall, one of her favorite 
Los Angeles boutiques. Above, Miss Moy 
mugs it up while trying on с Mod ver- 
sion of a poor-boy cap. Top right, 
Jerome David, owner of the Hole in 
the Wall, helps her on with crocheted 
headgear that gives Liz a medieval look. 
After trying on everything from derbies 
to tom-o'-shanters, she chose the poor 
boy. "Any kind of hot, if it's tasteful 
опа tuned in to the rest of what you're 
wearing," soys Miss Jordan, "acis as 
the finol complementary touch to on 
outfit. Men ought to wear hats, too.” 


The Jordan chapeau collection runs to 
a couple of dozen. The two she likes 
best are a battered Lincolnesque stove- 
pipe and an Australian bush hat, which 
she models above and left. Althaugh she 
considers herself anything but a femme 
fatale, Liz, above left, stylishly does the 
Garbo gambit, Her striking good looks 
have not escaped Hollywood's attention: 
| Although she has never tried acting, she 
was asked by producer-director Arthur 
Penn to test for a role in the film "Mickey 
One," but turned down the offer. Her 
explanation: "I was a little surprised to 
discover | had absolutely no desire to 
become an actress. | suppose that I just 


want to do my thing—and that's point.” 


Several months ago, Playmate Liz did a small modeling assignment for N) 7 
Bill Dana's advertising agency; and since then, she's become one of the 
firm's most called-upon mannequins. Above, she discusses an upcoming job 
with the enterprising comedian (who also runs a talent agency) in his ! 
agency's Sunset Boulevard offices, located in the West Coast Playboy Build- 
ing. After setting up her bookings for the Dana organization, Elizabeth 
changes into casual clothes and adjourns ta the Old World Restaurant, top 
right, for а waffle-and-coffee break. Lunch out of the way, she then puts 
in an appearance at the Los Angeles Indian Center, where she discusses a 
mural she's roughed out with Center director Ernie Stevens. A community 
project, the mural is a panorama of Indian life; most of it was painted by 
our Playmate, seen busily engaged in adding appropriate touches at right.

with the idea of paying more than you

Remember that the places where tour-

whether a restaurant or anything else is 
brushed off as “touristy” by the snottier 
guidebooks. A tourist's function is to 
tour; if you go to Madrid and never take 
а tour of the (ascas—taverns in the old 
quarter—you might as well stay at home. 
Touristy is a term too often applied to 
some of the best places in Europe, per-

national character. This is a lot 
of old gull, especially on the Continent, 
where about the only place you are unlike-

car. Naturally, there are villages, restau- 
nts and inns that only a few people 
know about; but these few people always 
seem to arrive there at the same time 
and sit around looking fed up. One 
friend asked me if I knew anywhere 
in Portugal that was truly, but really 
guaranteed, off the tourist track. He 
wanted somewhere beautiful, isolated and 
friendly, where tourists never went. Never, 
1 really mean, never. I fixed accommoda- 
tion for him in a tiny fishing village. 
Seventy-two hours later, he was back or 
my doorstep. 


FRIEND: You sent us to a terrible 
place, Len 

Me: It's pretty, isn't it? 

ыам: Very beautiful, but they 
have no sewage system in that whole 
village. 

ME: The people are pleasant. 

FRIEND: Not even running water. 

ме: At night, when the fishing 
boats leave... . 

eRIEND: Fish for breakfast, fish for 


lunch, fish for dinner. Sardines, sar- 
dines, sardines 

ME: And wine. 

FRIEND: Yes, and wine. I can't 


get beer. I can't even get coffee, ex- 
cept first thing in the morning. 
And bread. 

FRIEND: Dry, hard, dark bread. 

ME: It’s isolated. 

FRIEND: 1 nearly broke the springs

the hell would want to go there? 


ME: 


There's a lot to be said for hot showers, 


clean sheets and coffee that comes when 
you call. So let's not knock tourism and 
tourists. Personally, I'm very happy to be 
identified with that much maligned and 
misunderstood body of citi 


ns. 

Unfortunately, most of the prose writ 
ten about travel is frantically hard sell. 
One of the most attractive aspects of my 
job with PrAvnov is the freedom to 
what I think about anywhere and any 
one. “But first,” they said, “please take а 
look at western Europe.” If you've never 
been there, let me tell you that it’s a big 
place. Although it is only half the area of 
the U. S.A., Lisbon is as far from Stock 
holm as San Francisco is from New Orle- 
ans, But the attraction of the Continent 
is the enormous changes that one sees, 
even driving short hops. The people 
change and so do the food, architec 
ture, scenery and living standards. Don't 
try to see too many places and remember 
thal crossing national borders—surprise! 
—means customs and immigration, new 
currency, new languages and delays. Eu- 
ropean airports, for the most part, are 
something to be avoided, unless you like 
to chat over drinks with your companion 
or are well provided with reading mat- 
ter. Checkingin times at airports vary 
from place to place. If you have luggage, 
less than 30 minutes before flight time 
very risky, and some airlines want 50 
minutes. 

Whenever he can, any dolt knows 
enough to reserve hotel accommodation 
in advance, (Although, as I sit in the 
Grand Hotel, Stockholm, penning this 
piece of modest advice, I'm planning to 
go to Copenhagen in а few days with no 
idea where 1 might stay) When booking 
а hotel room, be sure to request one high 
up and off the street to avoid unwanted 
noise. 

Some hotels provide transport to and 
from the airport; usually, the airport 
buses are reliable, so chink twice before

THE YEAR Is 1975, The place is a suburb in the United States. The setting is a record-control society that could make 
George Orwell's Oceania almost look like a haven of priva 

At seven A-M., our typical citizen, an engineer named Roger M. Smith, wakes up, dresses, has breakfast and gets 
ready to commute by car to his office in Central City. Already, heat, light and water records fed directly from his 
home to the Central City Utility Corporation (for purposes of billing and use analysis) provide data that can 
establish when Smith got up and just how he moved through his house. 

Smith takes his car out of the garage and drives onto the turnpike, heading downtown. As he reaches the tollgate, 
his license plate is automatically scanned by a television camera and his number is sent instantaneously to an on-line 
computer containing lists of wanted persons, stolen cars and trafficticket violators. If Smith's plate registers a positive 
response, police stationed 100 yards along the turnpike will have the signal before Smith's car reaches their position. 

As he stops at the tollgate, Smith gives the initial performance of what will be a ritual repeated many times dur- 
ing the day. He places his right thumb in front of a scanning camera. At the same time, he recites into the unit's 
microphone, "Smith, Roger M., 2734-21244806.” Roger has just used his thumbprint, voiceprint and personal 
identification number to carry out his first financial transaction of the day. 

Roger's inputs are carried swiftly by data line to the Downtown National Bank, the central depository of Roger's 
financial account. Though he may have accounts in other banks throughout the country, these are all registered and 
monitored by the bank in Smith's place of residence or work. When the thumbprint and voiceprint recorded at the 
tollgate are compared with the bank's master prints, establishing that it is really "Smith, Roger M., 2734-2124-4806," 
the bank's computer posts а 75-cent charge to his account and flashes а 75-cent credit to the bank holding the 
Turnpike Authority account. 

‘Throughout his typical day, when he parks at the Triangle Garage, is registered in and out of the company office 
for payroll verification, has lunch at Jimmy's East, makes purchases at Macy's, goes to Central City Stadium for 
a ball game, places a bet on the daily double, buys plane tickets, settles his hotel bill or buys 500 shares of Electronic 
Computers Unlimited, Roger Smith will use no cash. Money has been eliminated, except for pocket-change transactions. 

Of course, all of Roger's regular, continuing obligations are paid automatically from his account—his mortgage 
installments, insurance premiums, magazine subscriptions, organizational membership dues, etc. Those continuing

accounts that fluctuate monthly are also verified and paid automatically—medical bills, psychiatrist’s fees, gasoline 
charges, telephone bills, pay-TV account, book-club purchases, etc. All financial credits to Roger's account, each care- 
fully identified as to the source and classified as to the basis for payment, go directly to the bank, not to Roger. 
Roger's various Federal, state and local tax obligations are determined by computer analysis and are automatically 
paid when due. 

This is a superb system—efficient, practical and far cheaper than the money economy with which mankind fum- 
bled along for so long. But one by-product of the cashless society is that every significant movement and trans- 
action of Roger Smith's life has produced a permanent record in the computer memory system. As he spends, 
uses and travels, he leaves an intransmutable and centralized documentary trail behind him. To those with access 
to his financial account, Roger Smith's life is an open tape. 

But the daily denuding of Roger Smith has only begun. For every person in the United States in 1975, there 
are four master files. His complete educational record, from preschool nursery to postgraduate evening course in 
motorboat economics, is in an educational dossier, including the results of all intelligence, aptitude and personality 
tests he's taken, ratings by instructors and peers and computer analyses of his projected educational capacities. 

Roger’s complete employment record contains entries for every job he has held, with rate of pay, supervisors’ 
evaluations, psychometric test results, recommendations, outside interests, family milieu and a computer-analyzed, up- 
to-date job-security profile. АП of this is available for instant printout when an employer wants to consider Roger for 
a job or a promotion. 

Roger's financial file is probably the largest. It contains a selected history of his financial transactions, from his 
earliest entry into the computerized economy to his latest expenditure for a new Carramba-35 sports car. His patterns 
of earnings, fixed expenditures, discretionary spending, computer-projected earning capacity and similar items are all 
kept ready, so that decisions involving loans, mortgages, insurance and other credit-line transactions for Roger 
Smith are made with full knowledge of his fiscal history. 

Finally, there is Roger's national citizenship file. This is a unified Federal-state-local dossier that contains all of 
Roger's life history that is “of relevance" to Government. In 1975, that is quite a broad category. It includes his birth 
facts and permanent identification number, his educational file in full (after all, it was either public education or

PLAYMATE 
OF THE YEAR 


september delight angela dorian 


reigns as the premier gatefold girl of 
the past twelvemonth 


AS FRANK SINATRA MIGHT HAVE SUNG, it was a very good year 
for gatefold girls. Still, when the time came to 
select the winner from the past dozen, the multitalented 
and stunningly structured Angela Dorian made 
September the issue го remember. So turned on were 
we by Angela that we necded no tie-breaking 
псе from PLAYBOY'S readers (a write-in contest evoked 
1963, 1965 and 1967). Even so, our unanimous acco- 
lade only echoed the many unsolicited letters that rated TV 
actress Angela number one in the Playmate pantheon. 
"Quite a [ew of the letters were from guys stationed 
in Vietnam," she told us. “I only wish I could visit them 
all and thank each one personally. I may be too 
much of a pacifist to accept the reasons why they re 
fighting, but I'm too much of a woman not 
to want to help boost their morale.” 

Angela has had hardly an idle moment since her Septem- 
ber unveiling. In addition to extracurricular 
endeavors (writing poetry, dancing, composing songs 
and doing pen sketches), she has recently helped her 

reer by completing a featured role in Roman 
Polanski’s suspense thriller Rosemary's Baby, 
starting Mia Farrow and John Cassavetes. It’s the start of a 
scyen-year contract with Paramount Pictures, calling for 
two films a year. “It's nonexclusive,” Angela is 
quick to state. "I want to be available whenever a 
good script comes along." She has also added 
to her two-dozen.plus small-screen appearances by playing 
Florence of Arabia, a bejeweled belly dancer who 
undulated on the set too late (text concluded on page 206) 


Displaying o well-rounded fashion flair, Angelo believes thor “clothes ore usually 
о reflection of your personality and, especially, imoginatian. Sticking ta ane style limits you severely.

“In Son Francisco, people you poss on the

and his head had whirled as he walked through the bazaars 
seeing the lovely, miniature, supple Annamese girls all around 
him. Or the soft. brown women of Luzon: or 
inviting girls of Cathay. Though his brow often broke out in 
sweat from the feverish itch he felt in other places, Leandro 
remained a virgin, 

But all for nought. When he finally went back to Venice, 
his ship laden with silks and spices, he was greeted with the 
terrible news that Coviello, the rich merchant who employed 
him, had wooed and won not Cintia but her. parents—who 
had prevailed on her to marry, Leandro arranged а meeting 
with her in order to pour out his bitterness 

Belore he could begin, Cintia cried, “It was such a long 
time, my darling! And 1 kept imagining you in the arms of 
some Oriental girl. Forgive me lor my weaknes—l am no 
more to be blamed than a slave who was bought in the 
market. Coviello collecis women as he collects gold pieces—

ve me, my dear, and come to me tonight.” 

That evening, Leandro disguised himself as а beggar and 
made his way through the dark surcets toward Coviello’s 
palazzo. But om the way, he ran into old Pantalones man- 
servant, Zanni, who stopped him, saving, “Listen, friend, I'll 
give you a sequin if you'll help me carry this chest of lemons 
to the house of Pantalone. I's bloody heavy.” To avoid 
suspicion, Leandro agreed. After two steps. he realized that 
the lemons were really а man and, in all probability, the man 
was Coviello. When they loaded the chest into a gondola, it 
as all Leandro could do to resist dropping it into the canal. 
Flaminia herself, candle in hand, let them in through a 
back door. They deposited the chest in the corridor and she 
said quickly, “You are dismissed. Zanni, but 1 have some 
work for this other fellow." The door closed. The lovely 
Flaminia blew out her candle and sighed, “Oh, darling Coviel- 
lo, how clever of you to disguise yourself as a beggar. 1 im 
my dearest: take me here.” Leandro heard 
the swish of descending silks. He put out his hand and met 
warm, round flesh. The young wile had laid her back on the 
lemon chest and was waiting. 

Leandro was confused with revenge and desire. АП he 
could think of were those three starved years while this pig of 
а Coviello was having his fill. Undoing his clothes, falling to 
his knees, Leandro lost in three minutes the virginity he had 
hoarded so long. 

As he finished, there came ап awful groan from the chest.

The moonlight shone on a sweet face and a marvelous pair

brain once again. The quick moment with Flaminia had not 
been enough to break the fast of three years. He bounded up 
the stairs and battered through the door. Luckily, his fall was 
broken by a soft female body. Leandro made the most of this 
coincidence, "Oh, heavens" Franceschina said. "You arent

Pantalone, exhausted and groaning, was still hanging from 
the balcony. “Up you go, master,” said Leandro, giving him a 
boost. “The little lady is waiting for you.” Then Leandro went 
down 10 borrow a gondola. At the edge of the steps, he found 
the banished Zanni asleep in his boat. He shook him by the 
shoulder. “Hurry, friend, there is a thief getting into your

He lay down on the bed and fell asleep almost at once. 

But thanks to the fact that Flaminia abo slept а long and 
blissful sleep, thanks to the fact that Leandro's stilor knots 
were so stout that Coviello had, eventually, to be chopped out

up before a magistrate for the murder of his master—thanks 
to all these things, Cintia and Leandro were undisturbed until

certain things that ate just as voluptuous and exciting to do in

installing a computerized economic system. 

Even though both the dossier network 
and the ated cconomy are techno- 
logically possible, this does not mean 
that American society has to use its ca 
1 this way. Why shouldn't we 
s this prospect as something that 

nd private organizations 
would never think of adopting? The 
swer is that several basic social trends in 
American life have been. moving us in 
precisely such a direction during the past 
two decades. 

The first of these tends is the enor- 
mous expansion of information gathering 
and record keeping in our society, Part- 
stems from factors such as the 
increasing complexity of our industrial 
system, the expansion of regulatory, 
welfare and security functions by Gov- 
ernment and the growth of Lugescale 
bureaucracies in our corporations, ur 
versities, unions and churches. tly, the 
growth in record collection stems from 
the breakdown of maditional, faceto- 
face techniques for personal. evaluation 
of individuals by authorities. In an age 
ol increased personal mobility, nation: 
zation of culture and. standardized. mass 
education, when so many people within 
cach socioeconomic group look, talk and 
think alike, “the file" becomes the Gov- 
ernment’s instrument lor distinguishing 
among them. 

Similarly, the turn of. social science 
from rational or interest-seeking models 
of human motivation to heavily psycho- 
nd sociological explanations of 
human behavior means that masses of 
highly personal data must he collected to 
analyze events “scientifically” and make 


wise choices in public policy. Self- 
disclosure by individuals, then, becomes 
an obligation of good citizenship in the 


s well as an act of h in 


modern age 
“science. 
Thus, when today 
reaches the gatekeepers of public and 
private authority, the olficial's basic re 
sponse file он him. ask for 
extensive aion, co ide- 
pendent i ions and share infor- 
other certified file s 
our society. 1E anyone thinks this is an 
exaggerated portrait, just stop and think 
for one moment: How many Govern- 
ment forms and reports on yourself or 
your family did you fill out during the 
past year? How many questionnaires did 
vou answer about yourself? How m: 
15 on your activities did vou

ganizational authorities? How in-

nent files? Did you ever refuse to answer 
about others or yoursell? Do you 
nyone who did? 

This growth. of. investigations, dossiers 
and infor sharing has been, of 
course. enormously accelerated by the ad. 
vent of the computer. Now. private and 
public organizations can process 10, 50, 
100 times as much personal information

In 1965. a committee of the Sc

create а national center Гог "socio-

the leading private sponsors of acidemic 


research, and the Budget Bureau is the 
President's chief coordinating instrument 
for Executive agencies. The repo! 
ed ош that bureaus within 


Federal agencies had accumulated more 
than 600 bodies of statistical data on 
30,000 computer tapes and 100.000.000 
punch cards, that there was a risk of de- 
struction for some of this data a 
what was kept was not be 
effectively for analytical use. 

The Budget Bureau responded by hir:

in 1965, he reported that the data-center 
idea was excellent. Computer technolo-

never been possible before. At the same 
time. important new Federal responsibil-

essen Dunn observed th the nu- 
deus of the cemer could be some 9000 
tapes that had been identified as the 
most important of the Federal daa pool. 
These would be drawn from housing and 
current population data held by the Cen- 
sus Bureau, consumer-ewpenditure s 
and industry-labor from the 
au of Labor Statistics, Social Securi- 
ty data and Internal Revenue Service 
records, 

The Dunn report recommended that 
the Budget Bureau ask Congress for a 
small appropriation in 1967 to preserve 
ıhe 9000 key tapes and to start design of 
the data center, The proposal seemed to 
be gaining momentum when the Budget 
Bureau named a task force in December 
1965 to make over-all recommendations 
for more cflective utilization of Federal 
data. This committee, chaired by Profes- 
sor Carl Kaysen, an economist who had 
served with the Kennedy Administration 
amd is now chairman of the Institute. for 
Advanced Study at Princeton, was ex- 
pected to gi 
warm endorsement, About the same time,

But 1966 was a year too full of public

problem of new « 


pproaches to the 
mputer technology 
nd privacy. The first position, reflected 


in the initial thinking of most of the 
EXecutiveagency officials, computer ma 
facturers and behavioral scienti: 
sumed that a modest adaptation of 
traditional adm е and legal saf 
guards, plus the expected self restraint 
of officials who would manage any stat 
tical system, would be enough to protect 
the citizen's privacy. The more reflective 
spokesmen in this group would add that 
our society is requiring greater visibility 
of certain individual and group activi 
tics, in order to carry out rationally impor- 
tant soci ms that have the 
deep support of the American public. 
Since privacy has never been an absolute 
alue, they reason, we should accept ce 
in minimal risks ıo privacy as part of 
the ba g of values in a [ree society. 
The second position, reflecied by the 
initial views of most. newspaper editori- 
als, civilliberties groups and Congres- 
sional spokesmen, is to oppose creation 
of a data center completely. The need of 
Government officials and behavioral 
entists to have better statistics for pol 
analysis is seen as simply inadequ 
when weighed against the increase 
Federal power that such a sy 
bring and the fears of depersonali 
and loss of privacy that it could generate 
among citizens. The only situation that 
would satisfy these critics would be a 
“tamper-proof” system in which all iden- 
ies were removed from the data. 
The third position is the one that 
seems most persuasive and that may 
be the ground on which the two initial 
positions will mect, now that the privacy 
considerations have been thoroughly aired. 
This sees the added threats to privacy 
from centralized data systems as requir-

be applied differently, according to the 
type of data center involved—statistical,

When Government takes information

Social Security records, and uses it to 
niluence, regulate or prosecute the indi- 
lual on unrelated matters, this süikes 
а blow at the individual's autonomy and 
violates the confidence under which the 
information was originally given. 

Following this view, a statistical data 
center must have both “machine system" 
safeguards to limit the opportunities for 
misuse, and legal controls to cover those 
human abuses that cannot be averted 
by technology itself. At the system level,

Hugh Crane 
Berkeley, California 

We had no reporter on the scene, but 
we have been in contact with the Ameri- 
can Civil Liberties Union, which we 
have always found to be truthful and 
reliable. The Southern California. affili- 
ate of the A.C. L. U, has issued а report 
on the Los Angeles incident, chargi 
120 acts of unjustified brutality by the po- 
lice department and stating bluntly that 
the demonstrators did not, in any way, 
provoke these acts. (“AL no time prior to 
the dispersal order did the marchers en- 
gage in acls hostile to the police on duly, 
the hotel or the President,” says the re- 
port, which also tells of pregnant women

Angeles Police Chief Thomas Reddin їп 
Federal court, charging, on the basis of 
500 eyewitness accounts, together with 
supporting photographs, that Chief Red- 
din knowingly violated the constitutional 
rights of the demonstrators under the 
guise of law—a crime under Federal 
statute. 

As for the San Francisco incident, the 
Northerin California A. C. E. U.. claims 
there is evidence that the violence began 
when some of the demonstrators threw 
rocks and cellophane bags full of animal 
blood at the police. On the other hand, 
it seems that the police, once provoked in 
this manner, did not arrest only the un- 
ruly perpetrators but, instead, clubbed and 
arrested состу demonstrator they could 
reach, The A.C.L. U. has demanded 
Ihat San Francisco's mayor, Joseph Alioto, 
conduct an investigation of Ue extent of 
the violence employed by the police, The 
A.C.L.U. alo has agreed lo defend 
several persons who claim they were 
arrested. without cawe during the melee, 
but it has issued no overall condemnation 
of police tactics during the incident. 

There have been quite a few similar 
brawls throughout the country in vecent 
months, and most observers 
agree thal—with or without provocation 
—the police s 
to employ excesswe force against anti-

LISBON—MADRID 


Madrid. the capital of Spain. is only 
1 hour by air from the Portu 
port of Lisbon—an hour that serves to 


lessen the separation of the two cultures 
these cities typify, but mot to merge 
them. Culturally. physically and in 
most every other imaginable respect, 
Lisbon is a итам to Madrid. 
Madrid, for is inaccesible by 
a амі r a peculiarly i 
insularity; Madrileños believe 


is the very birthplace of urban sophistica- 
tion. Cosmopolitan Barcelona, on the 
Mediterranean and closer to the cultural 
influences of France and Iraly, would dis 
cc. but few could deny Madrid its 
is as one of the world’s great capitals. 
Emotionally, as well as geographically, it is 
the very heart of Spain. Lisbon. older and 
more worldly wise, has fewer pretension: 
it is languorous, pristine : 
suming. But with Madrid, Lisbon shares 
both a subcontinent and a special atiitude. 
The attitude is one of splendid isolation 
more by preference than by geography 
from the stereotyped mainstream of 
Furopean life. A tour of that ut, ха 
shaped section of lower Spain and Роги. 
I. bounded at the ends by Lisbon and 
Madrid. will give the American visitor a 
taste of southern Europe that the London- 
Paris-Romesind-home sight-seer will i 
know.

terrible plagues and scourges would be

the fresco is periodically retouched, which

PLAYBOY: Do you go along with the psy.

JOHNSON: We think that nymphomania 
is a much abused term. There are many 
manifestations of sexual tension that 
could be described by this word. Take, 
stance, the woman who is psycho- 
logically satisfied with the sexual activity 
in her life: she does not feel. deprived.

sand times, but then begins to develop 
difficulties in achieving or maintaining an 
erection, 

PLAYBOY: What is the chief cause of 
impotence? 

masters: Fear. Regardless of why or 
under what circumstances the male fails 
to achieve or maintain an erection the 
first time, the greatest cause of contin: 
uedesexual dysfunction thereafter is hi 
fear of nonperformance. Those who have 
had instance of failure due, let's say, 
to fatigue or excessive alcohol intake and 
do not attach special significance to it, 
rarely develop this fear. But those who 
elevate an occasional failure out of con- 
text and dwell on it retrospectively can go 
on 10 develop severe cases of secondary 
impotence. 

JOHNSON: Alcohol is probably the greatest 
single cause of secondary impotence. 
MASTERS: Shakespeare showed great psy- 
chological insight when he had thc 
porter in Macbeth tell Macdulf that alco 
hol “provokes the desire but it takes away 
the performance.” It disinhibits the de 
sie 10 perform, but it 
physical reactions that lead to successful 
performance. 

JOHNSON: If the male realizes that a 
failure because of alcohol—or any num- 
ber of other factors, such as untoward 
circumstances, the wrong peron, the 
wrong place, or what have you—is not 
meaningful in terms of his masculinity,

male may

formance and thereby lead him to try 
fore the situation, But one doesn’t 
need female emancipation to do this. 
PLAYBOY. The final sexual inadequacy 
you mentioned is premature. ejaculation, 
Is this as difficult to define as the others? 
MASTERS: Well, I've never heard a satisfac 
tory definition—and that includes our 
own. But as a working definition, we 
describe a premature ejaculator as а male 
who curi contol the ejaculatory process 
long enough to satisfy his partner at 
least 50 percent of the time. Obviously, 
such a definition does not hold up if the 
partner happens to be nonorgasmic. As 
for the causes, they vary. I suppose one 
of the greatest causes in a 40-year old 
nile is exposure to prostitutes in his late 
teens and carly 20s, with its pressure for 
speed and p 
gard for time, place and circ 
There's also the back-seatofz

of their parincrs by developing a self- 
conscious sexual technique. Assiduously

suggestions of many marriage 
they recite the multiplication tables silent

Don't you think this preoccupation with 
technique defeats its intended purpose? 
JOHNSON: Of course. It shouldn't be nec- 
сагу t0 recite multiplication tables in 
order to withhold ejaculation. Its the 
quality of the sexual encounter, the atti- 
tudes that one brings to it regarding the 
desire for control, that are important. 
MASTERS: Fundamentally, the greatest mi: 
take the male can make is to feel that

JOHNSON: Yes, its an intrusion on the 
spontaneity that is the secret of sexual

of sharing, which should heighten the 
experience. But to deliberately try for it 
would be an imposition of technique

MASTERS: I don't know how revolu y 
our discoveries are, but we have learned 
that a knowledge of when to have inter- 
course, how to have intercourse and how 
often to have intercourse could solve onc 
out of every eight infertility problems in 
this country. In 20 years of evaluating 
infertile marriages, we have found that at 
least 60 percent of the difficulty, whe: 
the problem is unilateral, has been on 
the male side. It makes one think about

contraceptive aid is the pill: second, in 
terms ob statistical security from preg-

very closely by the diaphragm jelly rou-

JOHNSON: They don't cover the right 
places at the right times, 


PLAYBOY: Do ат 
devices allect sexual response? 
MASTERS: Some women reject the 
vaginal chemical contraceptives on an 
esthetic basis, and that might interfere 
with sexual responsivity. In some wom- 
en, the pills aate а lecling of nause

exceptions, medical courses in the basic 
area of sexual response were not initiated

specifically to the subject. Since 1964, it is

in sexual response. This represents a real 
revolution in medical edu 
PLAYBOY: What are the significant areas 


of sexual = among medical stu- 


dents and. physicians? 
MASTERS: They know no more and no 
less about the subject thin other college 


aduates. They share most of the com- 
mon misconceptions, taboos and fallacies 
of their nonmedicil confreres. 

PLAYBOY: А common medical 
which recently come unde 
sex-education circles—concerns the prohi- 


taboo— 


bition of sex during ceram stages of 
pregnancy. Some doctors forbid inier- 
course for as long as three months before 
anhs after birth. Did your 
research confirm the wisdom of this 
prohibition? 
MASTERS: Most doctors we know of don't 
go this lar in their prohibition of sexual 
activity—although in our interrogations 


we did hear of some. We found no rca- 


хоп for such long-con nee, 
particula the last trimester. of 
pregnancy—providing the female pari- 


ner has no pain and providing the mem- 
branes aren't ruptured and that there is 
no posteoital bleeding. We firmly believe 
that there is no real reason uot to conti 
ue sexual activity up to the very terminal 
stages of pregnancy. After childbirth, of 
course, the situation. varies tremendous- 
ly. Usually, any prohibition of a month 
10 six weeks is reasonable because of the 
шашта 10 the vaginal canal occasioned 
by the delivery and/or the episiotony— 
the surgical incision of the vulvar orifice 
that accompanies childbirth.

mong the aged. What can. you tell us 
about your research on this subject?

JOHNSON: То begin with, we don't call 
it a revolution; we call it a renaissance. 
People tend to forget that the greatest 


deterrent to female freedom of sexual 
expression in this country was the inven- 
tion of the stcamboat—in other words, 


the Industrial: Revolution. 
MASTERS: It was this that pulled the men 
off the Farms and into the city. In an 


agricultural community, female sexual 
equality never became an issue, Time 


and time again, mom—in order to avoid 
the kids—would take pops lunch out

With it came the repression of

there was ап earthy acceptance of one- 
self as a sexual being, when sex wa

The old concept of sexual promiscuity,

А woman who adequately serves three

man but thinks of another. 1 think there

ing, We have no evidence to support it. 
PLAYBOY: Marshall McLuhan predicts 
that the gradual blurring of stereotyped 
psvchosexual roles for men and women 
will soon make the dillerences between 
the sexes less significant than the simi

he says, and it will become “posible for

PLAYBOY: How so? 
JOHNSON: One of the most threatening 
gs to the marital relationship is the 
ation of sex and sexuality- 
the physical expression of sexual 
суйу and sexuality being a dimension 
or expression of the total personality. 
The Victorians negated sexuality and 
thereby made sex а behind-the-s 
the-dark sort of thing. Communication 
regarding sexual matters most likely did 
not exist. There may have been people 
who worked this out in the of 
their own one-to-one relationship, but all 
the evidence tells us that this was the 
exception, not the rule. The point is that 
sexuality can hardly flourish in a for- 
bidden atmosphere. If two people enter 
into a sexual relationship, they have to 
Jet it live on а 2f-hour basis. Sexual re- 
sponse can be sparked by the fact of its

And no one met him at the airport. 

So while Lufthansa hostess Ortrud Behre took him sightseeing, we

for our efforts was a little boy in tears. 

Our hostesses can't stand to see a man cry... especially when he's

He was counting sheep in Manhattan when we finally located his grand- 
parents with the help of the German Embassy. (They had expected him 
to arrive the following week). 

When they came to the airport the next morning to pick him up. Erich

Shortly after Dr. Bennet w

ery was made that the game worked far 
bener if three walnut shells and а small 
rubber pea were used. Because of the 
shape of the shells, the simple act of 
pushing one forward causes the pea to 
pop out into the operator's hand. Draw 
ing a shell backward causes the pea to 
slide under it. Soon. thimble rigging be 
came a thing of the past: everyone was 
using the three walnut shells 

The great genius of the shell game 
was Soapy Smith. Soapy was Jefferson

was too big a man to hold a grudge. He 
figured that shuffling three shells around 
was a much easier way of making а liv-

himself to Clubfoot, From then on, his

Soapy went to the Klondike for the gold

he'd run Creede. He was shot in 1898 by 
Captain Reid, an engineer, but Soapy 
killed Reid before he died. 
Throughout the carly days of this cen- 
‚ the shell game was the standard

Colonel Weaver. a famous operator,

the Hagenback Circus as its share of

S3000 on another occasion. 

When the patch (advance man for the

it meant that anything went. But if he 
reported, “I mitted the shamus, but he

men had to be careful. In case of a raid,

At а few minutes past six, Dr. Samuel 

Barringer opened the door of room 11 in 
the intensive-care section. In the shad- 
ows of the room, he saw the young nurse 
standing in silhouette by the gray of the 
window, looking out, standing there with 
look of wistful grace. 
At the sound of the latch as he closed 
the door, she spun with a guilty start, 
greeted him in her gentle and formal 
morning voice and handed him the clip- 
board with the p 's chant 
on she had made since visit 
four hours earlier. He held it under the 
low light for a moment, handed it back 
to her, then reached. through the orifice 
in the transparent side of the oxygen tent 
to gently place the pads of his first two 
fingers against the arterial throb in the 
slack throat. He stood in a half bow, his 
eyes closed, listening and measuring 
through his finger tips. He was a big 
blond bear of a man, simultancously 
clumsy and deft, as bears can be. 

The nurse stood. awaiting instructions. 
He told her he would be back in a few 
minutes and he w:

decide how to wrap words around it to
