ON YOUR WAY

Every morning you go through the same routine.

The same old train. The same old newspaper. The same old faces.

And by the ume you get to the office, you're ready to turn around
and go home.

Now Sony has a way for you to avoid all this. We call
it the Sony Scundabout. And youve never heard some-
thing so small sound so big. Even though it fits inside your
pocket, it has the same high-fidelity sound ofa stereo
system many times its size!

Believe it or not, that's because there aren't any
speakers. Instead you listen through top-quality, light-
weight, electrostatic headphones that let you. с?

PLAY BILL

rrs FEBRUARY, the month when mementos of affection
passed between the sexes. So why are some women sending us
brickbats instead of valentines? It scems certain segments of
the women's movement, justifiably concerned about the n
tional inaease in the incidence of rape, have begun calling

for an end to (what they call) pornography, on the assump:
tion that it leads to rape. Robert Shea looks at all sides of the
issue, including the consequences of a censorship revival, in

Women at War (illustrated by Ereldo Carugati).

Speaking of revivals, it’s going to be hard for Jimmy Carter
to revive himself in the polls before the election, but, if
there's one man who сап help him do it, he's the subject of
this month's Playboy Interview, elite pollster Patrick Caddell.
Washington-based Contributing Editor Peter Ross Range chased
Caddell for nearly a month to get his conversation on tape.

Quite a different breed of cat is Dovid Duke, the charismatic
young leader of the revived Ku Klux Klan. Harry Crews spent
several weeks traveling with the Grand Wizard to w The
Buttondown Terror of David Duke, illusuated by Joann Daley.
Crews, а past PLAYBOY contributor and a good оГ boy himself,

ical memoir. And while we're on the subject of danger,

you're prone toward more contemplative adventures, you've
no doubt heard the old Zen riddle Does a Tree Falling
Alone in a Forest Make Any Sound? You haven't heard it?
Well, anyway, Shel Silverstein has the answer in this month's

Dances, published by Harper & Row. And before we leave

But with Technics MK2 Series, you also get impressive
advances in electronics. Like a quartz-synthesizer pitch

by 13 LED's in exact 1% increments. That makes life easy.

So does the SL-1600 MK2’s infrared disc-size sensor.
Just place a disc on the platter, press the start button and
immediately an infrared ray activates the micro-computer.
Then the Technics precision gimbal-suspension tonearm
automatically sets down in the lead-in groove.

And for double protection against acoustic feedback,
Technics precision aluminum diecast base has a double-
isolated suspension system. One damps out vibration
from the base, the other from the tonearm and platter.

VIVARIN?

"There are times when
nothing beats a cup of
good, hot coffee or an
ice cold cola. They taste
good, and give you the lift
you want.

But if, as the day
wears on, you sometimes
find yourself having coffee
or cola just for the lift,
you really should know
about Vivarin.

Vivarinis the gentle
pick-me-up. The active
ingredient that makes
Vivarin so effective is the
caffeine of two cups of
coffee (or about six glasses
of cola) squeezed into one
easy to take tablet.

Next time you want
a lift, pick Vivarin.

It's convenient, inexpensive
and it really works.

CLAUDIA

I cannot describe the shock I felt
when I heard the news that Claudia
Jennings had been killed in an auto-
mobile crash on October third. Of all
your Playmates, I can't think of a
single one who has gone on to earn
such a place of distinction and
through her talents and achievements.
Tam certain that, had she had the
time, she would have gone on to gre:
motion-picture stardom. Anyone who
ever saw her in any of her films had
to admit that she displayed great tal-
ent and potential.

Claudia Jennings made her first ap-
pearance in these pages in November
1969. While it was her uncommon
beauty that led us to her, it was her
uncommon savvy about the world, her
business and herself. that endeared
her to us. Her selection as Playmate of
the Year for 1970 was a testament
to her complete charm. As a profes-
sional actress, Claudia was just begin-
ning to make her mark. Thirteen
feature films, including such titles as
“Unholy Rollers,” “Truck Stop
Women,” "Gator Bait,” “Moonshine

County Express,” “Deathsport” and
“Fast Company,” established her as a
top box-office attraction. Indeed, she
was affectionately known as The
Queen of the B's. Television audi-
ences, 100, enjoyed her in guest ap-
pearances on such shows as “The
Streets of San Francisco,” “Barnaby

Jones," “Cannon,” “The FBI,” "Iron-
side" and, just recently, "210-Robert."
Asa model, she excelled, too, bringing
the same sense of professionalism to
the still camera as she did to the
movies. Our pictorial “Claudia Ob-
served" in December 1974 is proof
of that as she posed for five of the
best photographers we could find:
Pete Turner, Mario Casilli, J. Fred-
erick Smith, Victor Skrebneski and
David Hamilton. We think her last
appearance, just this past September
in “Claudia Recaptured" and the ac
companying essay by Bruce William-
son, is an especially fitting tribute
to the actress about to become a star.
Claudia was never content to sil and
wish for what she wanted. She went
out and got il. There will never be
anyone like her.

While there is no clinical evidence to
relate testicle size to sexual performance,
your own research seems to indicate at
least a subjective theory. That is, if a
big-ball lover finds a lover with big balls,
she'll have a bigger ball with that lover.

Congratulations on the stunning pic-

HOW TO GET THROUGH TO
ALMOST ANYBODY, ANY TIME

TE comes a time

a person's busi-
ness life when he
absolutely must get
through on the tele-
phone to someone
who is far more im-
portant and busy
than he is. And that
person's secretary
will do everything
she possibly can to
see that he doesn't

There's a rcason
for that. If truly im-
portant executives re-
turned all the phone
calls they received,
they would never get
their work done. Im
portant people talk
only to names they
recognize. Although
you may sympathize
with this attitude, it
doesn't do you one
bit of good.

how to get through.

TELEVISION

ould you believe that one of the
W^ enticing bundles from Britain
to be aired by PBS early this year will
include а four-week-long, four-hour tele-
play based on Rebecca? In the suspense
realm, of course, nobody does it better
than Alfred Hitchcock, whose 1940 ver-
sion of the Daphne du Maurier novel is
certified film classic. This time around,
Jeremy Brett (looking very Olivier) aud
Joanna David costar in a faithful, ro-
mantic and surprisingly effective re-
ke. True, the solid Rebecca it has
sent over relies on rich realistic detail
to disguise the absence оГ genius. So
why bother? That's a good question. The
answer must be that Rebecca, which

reach a whole new audience as the third

kid again. Based on Walter Farley's nov-
el—which has had 16 sequels—Stallion
conjures up pure sound-and-light fantasy
with breath-taking images set mo the
sounds of pounding hooves and lots of
exuberant musical exclamations. In
other words, cinematographer Caleb
Deschanel and the sound man are the
real stars of the movie competently d
rected by Carroll Ballard, a documentary
film maker on his first outing with а full-
length feature. It’s presented as precisely
the kind of tall tale a kid might im-
agine—with himself as the boy who is
saved from a shipwreck by a magnificent
black steed and becomes the animal's

trusted friend in a tropical never-never
land far from the madding crowd of
grownups. Fourteen-year-old Kelly Reno

P mare in the contemporary catalog of
horrors is the specter of handing over
your credit card for some payment or
other. having it inserted. into the vali-

report back, this person at once!"
Yet that is how an innocent business-
woman who had checked into a Holiday
Inn in Rochester, New York, must have
felt. On one of her weekly business trips.
she had routinely presented her VISA
curd to the reservations clerk as she
checked in. It is the practice at that hotel
(as it is at у others) to ask all guests
for a credit card as a means of payment
prior to handing over a room key, and
it's widely assumed that the main pur-
pose of that now common procedure is
to make certain that the guest has the
wherewithal ultimately to settle the bill.
More than an hour after our traveler
had obtained her key and headed for her
room, she was startled to receive a call
from the hotel's credit department, ad-
vising her that VISA had denied her
credit because she had "exceeded her
credit limit.
The woman knew there was no way

rather, what the hotel's management per.
ceives as prudent to make sure you have
sufficient credit to cover all the potential
meals, booze, laundry or “wear and
tear"—a category most often used to de-
scribe such mischief as breaking the fu
niture or appropriating the TV set—that
might be charged to your account.

The major problem with that proce-
dure comes when the traveler is about to
check out. For if he or she has merely
gone quietly to bed, without ordering
anything to eat or drink from room serv-
ice and not having checked the TV into
a suitcase, the total bill will be no more
than the $50-per-night room charge.

And that is the total a our hypo-

from the U. 5. Treasury Department and.

they said that the practice of puttin

apparently has uo statutory claim to his

seem to believe that right belongs to
them as naturally as life and liberty.

some of the very best albums we've heard
lately are by female vocalists: Carlene

Some, but not enough to help you

four stages to sexual arousal—excitement,
plateau, orgasm and resolution. The
physiological signs of excitement are
not exactly neon. The more common
signs are the erection of the тап and,

Cook and Robert McHenry, two Eng-

that she is sexually excited. Obviously,

if not arousal. Psychologist Elaine Wal.

on a subway.) Other sociologists have
pointed out that eye contact is а good
sign—in an average conversation, people
look at cach other only 30-60 percent of
the time. The more you like someone,
the more you look at her. (You don't
want to let her get away do you?) In any
case, the best sign is verbal: a simple yes.

Yes. He was also telling the truth,

speakers by playing them loudly for
hours on end, or by dropping the needle

ever, undernourished speakers are more
prone to failure than ате well-fed moth-

ing, the bass and drums make ир most
of the sound; consequently, the woofers
end up doing most of the work. If you
turn up the volume, the woofer can suck
up all the power your amp has, and then
some. A sharp peak will exhaust the

a film called 7/07 that had Bo Derek and
Dudley Moore trying to make love to
Ravel's Bolero. It was | ly funny
and launched a conversation about what
kind of music was best for sex. I said
that for a couple to have а good long-
lasting relationship. the male and the fe-
male would have to enjoy listening to
the same music while making love. My
wife said that the two would work that
out the same way they worked out other
sexual differences. Since she likes disco
and I like rock, that could present some
problems. What do you say?—S. J., Can-
ton. Ohio.

We say what Tina Turner says:
gonna do it пісе and easy

те gonna do it nice and rough." Take
turns. As for Ravel's "Bolero" wc added
that one to our Frisbee collection in соі-
lege. This is a serious moral question,
and one of the few situations in which
honesty is not the best policy. Tell your
wife that there аге scientific studies that
show disco is not conducive to good sex.
Indeed, that babies born to parents do-
ing it to disco show a higher incidence of
birth defects and may спа up in Govern-
ment. If she does nol. respond to lies,

[Enjoying a good game of chess is my
favorite pastime. The problem is: Tm

kind that can. beat me. I've heard. that

The question really is: How good are
you? As you probably know, chess play-
ers are rated according to tournament
play. And computers have only recently
been allowed to enter tournaments. If
you're approaching the master vel,
you're at the high end of the machin
capabilities. Masters have no trouble
beating the little computers and only a

little beating the big ones. That means
that right now, electronic games are best
for beginners and intermediate players.
As the programs improve, that will in-
evitably change. If tts mental exercise
you want, they'll give it to you. But for
superior play right now, you'll still have

The male orgasm has Iwo phases—
emission and ejaculation, or perhaps
more simply, load and fire. In phase one,
the internal organs (the prostate, the
seminal vesicles, the internal part of
the urethra, etc.) pump seminal. fluid
into a staging arca (the prostatic ure-
thrac). In stage two, the urethral sphinc-
ter contracts at .08-second intervals,
expelling the seminal fluid. (Interesting:
ly. this is the same frequency with which
the female experiences her orgasmic
contractions.) These ате probably the
contractions you notice. For most men,
the first two or three contractions are
pleasurable, but the most sensation comes
from the feeling of the volume of
the ejaculate. According to Masters and
Johnson, the force of the first contrac-
tions scems to develop a slight anesthe-
sia—many men do not notice subsequent
contractions. Obviously you do. Your

КМОСК-ООТ At one time the struggle between amplifiers was won by

the amp that had the most muscle. And the tuner that brought in the most stationsalso
brought in the most acclaim.

Today there's one series of amplifiers whose technology has put it in a class by
itself. And only one series of tuners that is its match.

They're Pioneer 5А-9800 amplifiers. And TX-9800 tuners.

Until Pioneer's 5А-9800, you had two choices when selecting an amplifier. Either
you paid through the nose for a heat producing Class А amp. Or you paid through the
ear for a distortion producing Class B.

Pioneer's SA.9800 offers the efficiency found in the finest Class В amplifiers.
With a distortion level found in the finest Class A. An unheard of 0.005% at
10-20,000 hertz.

And while you're certain to find conventional power transistors in most conven-
tional amplifiers, you won't find them in the 5А-9800. Instead you'll find R.E.T.
transistors that greatly increase frequency response. So instead of getting distortion at
high frequencies, you get clean clear sound. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Obviously, it took revolutionary engineering to build Pioneer's new series of
amplifiers. But that same technology and skillful engineering also went into Pioneer's
new line of tuners.

While other tuners offer features that just sound great, every feature in Pioneer's
new TX-9800 helps to produce great sound.

THE PLAYBOY FORUM

acontinuing dialog on contemporary issues between playboy and its readers

DOWN WITH DOMINANCE
Down with Adrienne Burnette and her
‘Down with Dominant Women” (The
Playboy Forum, September), because she
isn't fooling anyone, at least not me. If
you buy her assertion that men are re-
duced by dominant women to crippled,
resentful, selfish, vulnerable, weak, sub-
missive and docile creatures, then you
buy the idea that our old values and sex-
role conditioning arc still in full force.
Perhaps they do reign supreme for wom-
en like Burnette, who seems to want the
man to make all the moves so she
only "lie back and enjoy it.” Person
I and my friends hate that routine and
would love nothing better than to see
more women take the lead, pay their fair
share and make their share of the moves.
1 don't feel the least bit threatened by
aggressive women. Through strong
guage (“castrate "cripple") and a
feigned concern for the welfare of men,
Burnette is attempting to brainwash us
males into accepting her position. As far
as I'm concerned, women have had us
by the balls for ycars, and Burnette is
afraid that she's losing her grip.

When I hear a woman express fem

assertiveness as a threat to male self-

formulated her opinion. One should not

dominant position,

1 feel that life manifests itself as а
series of choices. Through my own ex-
ncs, I have learned not to choose

destroy “that joy a man can give.” Like
some male victims of sexual domination,
1, too, have suffered. I have "with-
drawn feeling crippled and resentful,

at the risk of himself feeling “dimin-

The problem, it appears, is one of
semantics, not of basic disagreement.
One person's crippling aggressiveness is

anothers refreshing assertiveness. Of
course, we could straighten all this out
in one masterfully reasoned paragraph
(about 10,000 words long), but that
would exhaust an entertaining topic for

SEX LAW VOIDED

sAckAMENTO— The California Su-
preme Court has. declared the state's
sexualsolicitation law unconstitutional-
іу vague but has upheld that portion of
the statute banning soliciting оу engag-
ing in “lewd or dissolute conduct” in
public after specifically defining those
acts. Essentially, the court. held that
such solicitation of а noncriminal, pri-
vate sexual act cannot be prohibited
unless the person charged knowingly
offended someone. Thomas Е. Coleman,
the gay-activist atiorney who argued the
case, said the decision would protect the
personal liberties of all citizens and
presumably reduce police harassment of
homosexuals for such acts аз dancing
together or kissing in public. He added
that the courts ruling was retroactive
and should permit many persons found
guilty under the old lewd-conduct law,
and who then had to register as con-
victed offenders, to return to court
and seek reversals. (See “Sex News,"

1977, we published the following in
an editorial: “The prospect of being
locked up in a cell for life and forgotien
by history holds no great appeal, but the
prospect of being catapulted from ano-
nymity to celebrity, selected by the state
for ceremonious execution—to ‘ride the
lightning'—can provide a stronger moti-
vation to kill than to live.” The death
penalty is no doubt a powerful deterrent
to the people who support it, but they
don't go around robbing and killing
people—exce pt an occasional spouse dur-
ing a family fight, and that’s generally
not a capital crime.

VIOLENCE PORN

The position that pornography is
socially harmless has been threadbare
liberal dogma lor too many years now.
Fm sure the basis for it has been the
highbrow's traditional need to take what
he fancies to be a "progressive" position
on all issues and. demonstrate his
lectual superiority over the rabble
religionists, moralists and conservatives
who may, in fact, express themselves
poorly and who tend to be rural
unfashionable but who seem, through-

out history, to have demonstrated that
they have a much sounder grasp oi
social reality than cither academicians
or cocktail-party gu

Their defense of pornography is al-
ways cloaked in terms of constitutional
rights that by any reasonable interpreta-
Чоп were never intended to protect
smut. From there they take the offensive
and cite the several major literary works
that were illegal in this country in the
days of "censorship." That censorship,
I say, is a small price to pay for keeping
our country free of the maggot-infested
filth that has poured through the sewer
valves opened by the courts to accom-
modate a few books that might qualify
as literature but could hardly be called
essential reading.

I believe that common sense alone is
adequate ground for presuming that por-
nographic sadism is socially unhealthy
and my understanding is that the con-
nection between sex and violence
at last being detected by researchers not
brainwashed by liberal rhetoric that
g on the excuse of free-
t be established. with
something close to absolute certainty
that pornographic violence does not in-
spire rape, then I think we should err
on the side of decency and the personal
safety of women, ignore abstract с
sütutional quibbles and suppress this
material in the common interest and by
whatever means necessary.

We can't think of anything that can
be slated with absolute certainty, espe

abstractions. You make the issue even
more difficult by combining sex and vio-
lence, as if they were equal components
of something generically called. pornog-
raphy. It doesn’t fail to concern us that
somewhere, somelime, some mentally
deranged and predisposed person might
be triggered into an act of sexual vio.
lence by something he reads or sees. But.
we submit that those acts of insanity,
like mass murders, ате statistically too

PLAYBOY INTERVIEW: PAT CA DDELL

a candid conversation with president carters young pollster-advisor about

the chairman of Exxon.” wrote colum.

Pat Caddell.” An unlikely label for an
unlikely man.

premature swatch of gray. was known
Jondly among his friends as

oj an Irish poct and the sartorial splendor
of an unmade bed. Не is a mechanical

colored Mercedes. He is ап invelerate

(down from 210 to 180) who squires
beautiful women around Washington,
New York, Boston and Beverly Hills. He
is Patrick Haywood Caddell, pollster
and personal advisor to the President of
the United States

Caddell, only 29, is the youngest of

President Carter's small coterie of short-
in-the-tooth personal advisors. Along
with White House Execuitve Senior As-
sistant Hamilton Jordan, Press Secretary
Jody Powell and advertising executive
Gerald. Rafshoon, Caddell is part of the
President's. political inner circle. With
the remarkable wizardry of his numbers
as a political. pollster, Caddell played a
key role in Jimmy Carter's unexpected
primary victories during the 1976 Presi-
dential campaign. After Carter took of-
fice. Caddell eschewed any official job
and instead became ап insider-outsider

He continued to function as Carter's
chief ear to the ground through the de-
vice of a polling contract negotiated
with the Democratic National. Commit-

an advisor with unique access to the

scurrying up and down Washington's
Pennsylvania Avenue (his office is only
fwe minutes from the President's),
sheaves of closely guarded papers under
his arm and his permanent White House
pass flapping in the wind.

Caddell was hardly born to the role

seen

maker. First in his high school
тәйПе, Florida, he was a
kid who went to Harvard on schol-
arship, even though his mother thought
it might be an unsavory place in 1968.
Caddell had to assign his first love, base-
ball, 10 his fantasy world, and compensat-
ed for his bookish tendencies (“1 was
reading history by the time 1 was four
or five”) and a lack of sporting prowess
with a natural acumen for political pow-
er. In his senior year of high school,
Caddell was elected student-body presi-
dent.

But that not his most notable
achievement. Caddell's carly and endur-
ing claim to fame has been an uncanny
ability to predict the outcome of other
people's political races. At 16, to com-
plete his advanced math project in high
school, Caddell created a model for fore:
casting a state legislative election. The
results were astounding: Caddell's predic-
lions were so accurale—he called every

Seeing his face in magazines and news-

was over, McGovern was a devastated
politician, the Democratic Party was
badly riven and Pat Caddell was a
household word in liberal political cir-
cles. The pollster exwaordinaire was the
boy wizard of politics.

That campaign also catapulted the
young man with the magic numbers into
the world of glamor and jet-set fame.
He became а close friend of such active
McGovernites as Warren Beatty and
Shirley MacLaine, each of whom he
often visits when on the West Coast. He
is comfortable in the drawing rooms of
the Eastern establishmeni—his friends
include John. Kenneth Galbraith and
Barbara. Howar—as well as at the pool-
sides of the California entertainers. By
the lime he joined the slightly ragiag
Carter campaign in 1975—it was then

Together with political pal and equal-

on Pennsylvania Avenue just a block
and а half from the Oval Office shortly
after Carter's election. Rafshoon, an At-

In a two-year study* of 4,600 men

PLAYBOY: Besides you, nobody else there
had any real experience іп national
politics, right?

CADDELL Well, Presidential politics is
truly a game of amateurs. There aren't
many pros in the country who under-
stand what P len poli about.
PLAYBOY: What happened next?

CADDELL: Well, 1 got drawn into the
Carter campaign in Florida in 1975, do-
ing some work for hire. And the more
time I spent witk Carter, the more J was
attracted to his mind. He had developed.

more analytic way things that he felt
and sensed strongly.

PLAYBOY: How did that get you into the
ner circle?

CADDELL: Well, 1 already liked Jody and
Hamilton and Jerry, and we got along
very well. But Carter has strong, indi-
vidual relationships with each person,
not dependent on anyone else's rela-
tionship. He relates to you directly. He
won't tolerate any jealous; at the top.
And when he's mad at you, it's direct.

I had heard people talk about those
steely eyes. When he focuses on you and
hes really mad. . . . The first t
happened to me, 1 was just terrified. Не
Шу bawled me out about something
in the campaign. I was really stung and
1 got upset. And Jody turned to me and
id, "What are you bitching about?
Welcome to the club.

And that’s when I knew I'd crossed
some kind of line. It also gives you the
license to fight back. Having people
around who will always tell the Presi-
dent the truth is extremely important.
PLAYBOY: By the way, since you were on
the campaign trail with Carter at the
time, how you feel about his famous
Playboy Interview
CADDELL: His Playboy Interview was а
political disaster. I know: 1 was doing
the polling. It was very serious. Carter
ied losing tremendous ground when
that story broke. The reason was not be-
cause of the interview itself. I mean, the
press went crazy with it. Nobody took it
in context. They concentrated on a few
words. I read the interview and I didn't
think it was that outrageous.

PLAYBOY: OK, continuing with your

Playboy Interview, how often. do you
give the President blunt advice?

CADDELL: There have been times when
Ive really gone to the wall with him,
taken on the whole Government.
PLAYBOY: Over what?

I told you my advice to the
President is confidential. Anyway, one
time it was so bad that 1 got carried

people around the Admi ion who
jad I can't—even for one day.
PLAYBOY; How do you go about being a
member of the inner circle without even
having an office in the Executive branch?
CADDELL: Very poo imes. I mean,
sometimes you're in the right meetings,
sometimes you're not. Sometimes I feel
like Гус had some influence and then
nothing happens. It's like what Tr

CADDEL: Well, something started hap-
pening in the spring. At the dinner for
the Middle East peace-treaty signing in
March, the President introduced me to
President Sadat and said, “This is my
pollster. He brings me a lot of bad
news, but I still love him anyway.” And
1 kind of figured things were getting
better.

PLAYBOY: So did you throw something
else over the fence?

САЕМ: No. I got very frustrated. I
sensed that the situation in the country
was going to deteriorate rapidly and that
the President was going to get into
deeper and decper trouble. He had not
gotten great long-term gains out of the
Middle East settlement, which was a
clue that something was not right. Infla-
tion was now beginning to rampage. 1
spent a lot of time talking to Jody
Powell, who is a thinker—when he's not
on the phone—and finally I went to the
First Lady.

PLAYBOY: To Rosalynn Carter? Why to
her?

CADDELL: Well, Rosalynn has inordinately
good political instincts. Her antennae
are really good. And she is one of the
most genuine people I've ever met.
PLAYBOY: That certainly fuels the charges
that she has inordinate influence over the
President and the American ship of
state, even though she was never elected
to that job.

CADDELL: Well, she’s given the President
some of the most brutal advice anybody
ever has, but she doesn't interfere with
his job or anyone else's. She asks ques-
tions. She says the hard things that need
to be said. She acts as the skeptic to the
President. For instance, she instantly
understood during the 1976 campaign
that there was a problem when Carter
made his "ethnic purity" remark. But it
took him a couple of dzys to come
around to that realization. That's partly
because of his stubbornness, because he
knew he had not made a racist remark.
But Rosalynn never forgets she's Jimmy
Carter's wife from Plains.

PLAYBOY: So you took your concerns to
the First Lady.

CADDELL: Yes, I called her on a Thursday
or Friday and said, “I really would like
to come and see you. It's very important.
And I would like several hours.” Now,
you usually never ask for a time block
like that. Rosalynn didn't say a word.
She could tell, I think, by my voice that
it was very serious. I knew she was wor-
ried. She just quietly told me, "I'll
schedule breakfast next week.” So I had
breakfast with her on Monday.

PLAYBOY: And what happened?

CADDELL: Well, I laid out all the numbers
for her and laid out what I thought was
happening in the country, and to some
extent what I thought the President's

problem was. But I also told her I
thought there was an opportunity that
he could really grab hold of to do some-
thing bold. I quoted Napoleon's line
about every crisis bringing a new oppor-
“Glory comes only in great

So she decided we should also meet
with Jody, who had come around to this
thing over the weekend. We agreed that
I would begin writing something, a
working paper on all this, and we had a
meeting with the President.

PLAYBOY: What did he say?

CADDEU: At first, he was resistant, be-
cause he thought Jody and I were com-
ing in there with the First Lady just to
badger him about why he was in trouble.
Rosalynn made it very clear to us that
we should stress that it was an oppor-
tunity to do something, not just for his
own political situation but also histori-
cally and for the Presidency.

PLAYBOY. And thus began the train of
events that led to the famous "meeting
on the mountaintop,” the domestic sum-
mit at Camp David last July?

CADDELL: That's right, though we did not
plan it that way. I just went off and
began gathering resource material from
the leading sociologists and Government
scholars I had been reading—James
MacGregor Burns, Christopher Lasch,
Daniel Bell, Robert Bellah, Alexis de

Tocqueville and others. It turned out
the President had just read De Tocque-
villes classic, Democracy іп America,
and Burns's book Leadership, which
I had wanted to recommend to him.
We began sort of a shared reading
program over the next few months, with
lots of recommendations back and forth.
For me it was like going to graduate
school. And we began to sense that the
problems in our society were much deep-
er than political. Indeed, politics was
the lagging, not the leading, indicator of
those problems.

PLAYBOY: Where did all that lead?
CADDELL: Well, we had a series of mectings
during the spring, inviting some of the
scholars in for dinner at the White
House, too. Then, while the President
spent most of June abroad, for the SALT
II treaty signing with Leonid Brezhnev
in Vienna and the economic summit
meeting in Toyko, 1 prepared a long
memo that became known to a very
small circle of White House people as
“the plan.” Some people called it the
“blue book,”

PLAYBOY: Why?

CADDELL; Because I happened to put it in
a blue binder.

PLAYBOY: That was when Carter unex-
pectedly canceled his planned energy
speech and began the reassessment that
led to his July 15th speech on the crisis
of faith in America, wasn't it?

CADDELL: That's right. The first surprise
was canceling the speech. Hamilton
called and told me the President was
reading my stuff and wanted us to come
up for a meeting at Camp David.
PLAYBOY: What was your reaction to that?
CADDELL; 1 was struck with terror. I sud-
denly had that sinking feeling, Oh, my
gosh, what have you donc? Is it the right
thing? Are you leading him down a
primrose path? Is he just too exhausted?
So I sat down and reread the plan, and
then I felt a lot better about it. I think
it is good for Presidential advisors, when
their advice is being taken, to ask them-
selves those questions.

PLAYBOY: So you were called up to Camp
David?

CADDELL: Yeah. We all knew something
serious was up. Hamilton, Stu. Jody.
Rafshoon, a bunch of us met at my house
to talk for a while. Then we went over
to the Vice-President's for an iced tea
and took the helicopter from therc. I
took clothes for only опе night and
ended up staying about a weck.

PLAYBOY: ‘That was the weck the country
didn't know what the President was
doing.

CADDELL: Well, that was almost hilarious,
after working all day on some very seri-
ous questions, to sit up there and watch
the evening news and hear some people
saying that maybe the President had
gone crazy or something. But when they

quoted some White House sources, it
wasn't very funny. Jody and Hamilton
got on the phone to the White House
and let people know the man was in full
command of his faculties and just taking
some time to deal with some very serious
issues facing the country.

PLAYBOY: We know that during the next
ten days, the President listened to ad-
vice from his inner councils as well as
from various groups that were invited
for private talks to Camp David. The
result was a speech on July 15th in which
he laid out some stringent new energy
proposals but that was more famous for
its discussion of a crisis of confidence in
America. Everyone assumes you had a lot
to do with that part of the President's
thinking. Is that true?

CADDEM: Well, in that part, there were
lines from various people, some suggest-
ed by the President; I guess there were a
lot of my lines in therc.

PLAYBOY: Come on, all modesty aside,
what percentage of it was yours?

CADDELL: I'm not worried about modesty,
I'm worried about my ass! I have often
said some of the same things in my own
speeches. I guess I had a good chunk of
it. Maybe half.

PLAYBOY: We know the President was
concerned about a crisis of confidence in
America. But a lot of people did not
understand how he reached that conclu-
sion. What had you been telling him

PLAYBOY

about the way the country was going that
led to that extraordinary statement?

CADDELL: Well, first you have to under-
stand that no government or leader can
do for the people what they are not
willing to do for themselves. And there

- The national interest, it seems,
Imost completely to the
interests, to special interests,
to plain old self-interest. Right here in
Washington, the attitude is, What's mine
is mine and what's yours is negotiable.
PLAYBOY: But isn’t that the basis of our
system: competing selL-interests?

CADDELL: Not to the exclusion of national
interests. De Tocqueville wrote 140 years
ago that when self-interest began to pre-
dominate to the exclusion of everything
else, it would ultimately lead to the
breakdown of the conditions of freedom.
SelLinterests are fine within the frame-
work of an agreed-upon national inter-
est. That is what some scholars call
civitas, or the covenant, within which
various demands among peoples and
groups, Government and the special
interests, are met. Without such a re-
ning context, the result is chaos. In
America today, the covenant iself is
threatened.

PLAYBOY: What are the sociological signs
of the breakdown?

CADDELL: Well, it sort of started with the
"me" generation mentality. People are
seeking immediate gratification with no
1 term faith in the future—their own
or the country's. That tends to weaken
the cultural bonds that hold us together
as a continuing society that is concerned
with what will be passed on to the next
generation.

PLAYBOY: Where does Presidential lead-
ership come into this?

CADDELL: Well, I argued that there were
historical movements going on for which
President Carter would be held respon-
sible. The President, as the leader of so-
ciety, is not just held accountable for his
role as leader of the Government. He
is also the leader of the society and is
held responsible for the large question
of national purpose and what was hap-
pening to the people.

PLAYBOY: So you encouraged him to pay
more attention to his job as leader of the
society?

CADDELL: “That's right. And when һе
called us to Camp David, I sensed that
he was ready to roll the dice. By the

this Administration is written, everybody

nobody will talk about the Cabinet
changes.

PLAYBOY: But that seems clearly to have
taken the bloom off the President's rose.
How could you have made such a tacti-
cal blunder?

CADDELL: The bad part is that it changed
the national focus away from the Pres-
ident’s message. And once that is gone,
it's difficult to get it back. I hold myself
culpable that I did not give enough
auention to what the follow-up should
look like. I mean, all our energy that
week was concentrated on making sure
that the Sunday-night speech was good.
Of course, it is easy to say this in hind-
sight. We didn't even know if the speech
was going to go. We were gambling. And
I also acceded to the fact that there
were some strong feelings that the Pres-
ident needed to get control of the Gov-
ernment.

feud between Hamilton Jordan and such
Cabinet members as Joseph Califano and

was the kind of letters. I had the mail-

for me to read and give to the President.
People got very personally involved. They
would start a letter with Сс never

say they have never seen anything quite
like it.

PLAYBOY: Perhaps, but as you've sug-
gested, the White House immediately
squandered its advantage. In any case,
after the speech, much was made of the
fact that the President attacked Wash-
ington as ап isolated “island.” Many
people felt that was a phony issue.
CADDEL: Only in Washington did they
feel that, naturally. This is a city of
elites—except for the poor blacks, who
are as bad off here as anywhere else in
the country, But this is the most bizarre
town in the world. You have the bu-
reaucratic elites, the political elites and
the media elites. You have only elites

people who read, who tilk, who are in-
terested in ideas. Washington has been
very good to me.

Р\АҮВОҮ: If the elites read and talk so
much, why are they out of touch?
САРОЕП: I'll give you an example. The
elites don’t watch television. During the
evening news, they're all still at work—
you, me, everybody. The clites who run
the country still basically read news-
papers. If we all watched as much tele-
vision as the rest of the country, you can
bet your bottom dollar that somebody
would have paid some morc attention to
the problems we arc having.

PLAYBOY: That also sounds a bit like a
defensive reaction to the problems some
members of the Carter Administration
have had in being accepted by Washing-
ton society. We're thinking particularly
of some of the problems Hamilton Jor-
dan has had because of his lifestyle.
CADDELL: Hamilton would admit that he's
gotten himself in a lot of trouble just
because he left himself vulnerable in
some ways. The first thing that hap-
pened to Hamilton in this sense was the
comment about the Egyptian ambassa-
dor's wife. It was in Sally Quinn's piece
in The Washington Post about the Geor-
gians and the way they dealt with Wash-
ington.

PLAYBOY: The account said that he fin-
gered her bodice and looked down her
dress at the dinner table, commenting
that "I always wanted to sce the Руга-
mids.” Did that really happen?

CADDELL: Well, she denied it and Henry
Kissinger denied it and everyone else at
the table denied it. But the denial didn't
stop the story from going out. The truth
of the matter, as I understand it, is the
comment may have been made in jest,
privately, to a reporter, not to the lady
and not at the table. It was the kind of
joking comment one of us might make
to another in private. That was repeated
and that’s how it eventually ended up
being twisted into a story in the news-
paper.

Now, I can assure you that if Henry
Kissinger had made that comment, it
would not have been in print, And
Kissinger was generally known to say
ribald kinds of things in a joking fashion
to individual. this town without being
persecuted for it. Now, if that's not a
double standard, what the hell is?
PLAYBOY: Why would there be a double
standard?

CADDELL: Because there is in this town a
lot of feeling that somehow the Geor-
gians, these kids, are not interested in
playing along with the established sys-
tem. And, to that extent, they have р
the price for it. That was a price that was
unanticipated.

PLAYBOY: Why didn't you anticipate it?
CADDELL: Well, Y guess we have to face
the fact that, frankly, we could have
coopted Washington a whole lot casier

and better than we did. When we came
10 town, we had two options: We could
have burned the place down, figurative-
ly, which would certainly have carried
out the President's mandate, and some
argue that we should have done just
that. Or we could have come and shrewd-
ly co-opted Washington. But we did
neither.

PLAYBOY: Explain figuratively burning
it down.

CADDELL: Well, just not bring anybody
from this town into the Government.
Bring in only outsiders from around the
country. It would have been warfare
from the minute we arrived. 1 mean,
people were scared to death of what
Jimmy Carter was going to do when he
got here. They really thought he was
going to torture them right after the
Inauguration,

PLAYBOY: Of course, you are not a Geor-
gian and you had lots of friends in the
Washington establishment before you
moved here. How did your new-found
fame affect your social life in Washing-
ton?

CADDELL: І cannot say that I have always

lived here in a manner conducive to my
eternal salvation.

PLAYBOY: Some say you're the Henry
Kissinger of this Administration: slightly
overweight but always surrounded by
beautiful women.

CADDELL: I resent only the overweight
part of that comparison. As for the other,
if only. . . . You know, sometimes we've
sat around my house watching stories on
television about all the wild life that's
supposed to be going on in our housc
and we look at each other and say,
"Where are they пом?”

PLAYBOY: Despite your undisguised in-
terest in social life, you never seem to
have any problems in the pres. What
is it that has caused Hamilton Jordan
to have so many problems?

CADDELL: Well, you'll notice that all the
reports that have been a problem, like
the Pyramids comment, like Sarsfield's
bar and the Leo Wyler party in Los
Angeles, took place around the end of
1977. You have not heard of anything
since then. And I think we learned a

with people you didn’t know well. And
how people might try to take advantage
of you. And of the things people will do
when they're jealous.

PLAYBOY: Sarsfield's bar is where Jordan
was reported to have spewed amaretto
and cream down the dress of a lady who
spurned him. Did it happen?

CADDELL: I wasn't there, but it was denied
by all kinds of people, dozens of people.
I think they had a sctto and exchanged
some words. And yet the spi
version has gone out in the press as
gospel truth. The denials ро nowhere.
"The story takes on a life of its own.

"These stories have made Hamilton a
virtual social prisoner in Washington,
so that he is afraid of going out in
public. I mean, these people work under
enormous pressure at the White House
and now they can't go anywhere to relax
and let olf steam except in the privacy
of their own apartments.

I remember when Hamilton lived in
my house for a while, he was terrified to
go out. One of the few times he went out
was to a Fleetwood Mac reception that
Warners gave in a private dub in
Georgetown. And somebody threw a pie
in his face. І remember Hamilton com-
ing back to the house, very. very upset.
It meant that he could go nowhere.
PLAYBOY: Nowhere?

CADDELL: Yes. That was at the time that
Rafshoon was also living here, just be-
fore һе got married. So the night before
his marriage, we decided to take Jerry
out for his last bachelor dinner at The
Palm, which is a nice restaurant where
a lot of political people go. But Tim
Kraft and 1 literally had to drag Hamil-
ton, because he was so worried that
someone would create an incident.
PLAYBOY: Nonetheless, isn't it fair to
report unseemly behavior in public by
the President's top aide, who is, іп es-
sence, White House Chief of Staff?
CADDEL: Well, this is unique in White
House history. | mean, there are all
kinds of stories from previous adminis-
trations—Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon—of
things people did that weren't reported.
The rule was, if it had no connection
with official duties, it wasn’t proper
to run it. Now they're changing the
rules. They're willing to give credibility
to sources they would not normally give
credibility to because the story is hot or
titillating. You've got sleazy stories com-
ing from people with mixed motives.
And the two-source rule is not ever
applied.

PLAYBOY: Besides President Kennedy's
recently reported exploits, what kinds
of stories have you heard from other
administrations?

born, which was 1950. Anyway, he was
married, and a reporter ran into him
at a resort with another woman
PLAYBOY: Flagrante delicto?

CADDELL: Well, it was in public. He wasn't
t, but he wasn’t hiding it.
It was obvious what was happening. But.
it had nothing to do with his job and it
was not reported.

But because of Watergate, the rules
have been changed. Good barriers were
broken down in pursuit of a hot story.
I know some people complained about
it at the time of the Peter Bourne affair
[in which the President's drug advisor
resigned because of a prescription writ-
ten to a fictitious name]. People who
have been involved with reporters doing
the same thing now found those same
journalists saying, “The rules have
changed.”

I mean, most of the reporters involved
are a product of the same postwar baby
boom that produced the cultural revolu-
tion in the Sixties. A new set of standards
was developed as to what was proper
conduct vi is the outside world. And
now we find a little bit of hypocrisy
being practiced.

Jesus, this is beginning to sound like
a tirade against the press!

PLAYBOY: For the record, Peter Bourne
was quoted in The New York Times
as saying

CADDELL: Don’t ask those questions. I'm
not going to answer them, so don't even
bother asking them.

PLAYBOY: We'll ask anyway.

CADDELL: Don't ask. It's not your business
or anybody else's. I'm not going to go
around saying those things about people.
PLAYBOY: Bourne was quoted as saying
there was a considerable use of marijuana
in the White House and some cocaine
usage in the White House by White
House people. Any comment at all on
that?

CADDEU: I have no comment on that
whatsoever, ever, any time, any place.
I'm not going to speculate about people's
private lives. The problem with questions
like that is that they so strongly imply
that those things really happened—no
matter what answer 1 give. And I think
your preoccupation with the lifestyles of
some young people, compared with some
of the other things that go on in this
country, is a litde outrageous.

PLAYBOY: Call it outrageous or call it
clarifying something already on the pub-
record, last summer, The New York
Times began aggressively pursuing the
story that Hamilton Jordan might have
used cocaine at Studio 54, the New York
disco, and other places. The first infor-
mation came from the owners of Studio
54, which many people saw as a bald-
faced attempt at plea bargaining, since
they were then under a Federal tax-
evasion indictment. Do you think The
New York Times——

CADDELL: Let me just jump your question
and say that because The New York
Times was so badly beaten by The
Washington Post on Watergate, so late
on the real crisis in our time, that that
has become an excuse for it to dispense
with good journalistic judgment and
perspective for what is the newspaper
of record in our country. For it to
almost go on a witch-hunt like it did on
the story about cocaine, where it took
witnesses who had no credibility and
made them credible by the way it treated
Шеш in its pages, pursuing angles and
things that it would never pursue in
order to try to make up for some sort
of—because it got its ass whipped on a
serious issue.

PLAYBOY: You were with Jordan on the
night he allegedly used cocaine in the
home of Leo Wyler in Los Angeles. What
happened there?

САррЕЦ: Nothing. I mean, nothing hap-
pened!

PLAYBOY: How did it start?

CADDELL: Well, we were attending this
Democratic dinner at the Century Plaza
Hotel in Los Angeles and there were a
lot of Jerry Brown's people there. Thi
was the night when Brown got up and
did one of the most tactless things I've
ever seen. He introduced the President
by just saying, “I will now introduce the
President of the United States, I
guess . . .” and sat down.

Then, after the dinner, Leo Wyler and
gofer, Mickie Chung, prevailed upon
us to go up to Leo's house for a drink.
Chung was pleading with us to come up
there. But as soon as we walked into
the place, I could feel a lot of tension,
because the place was full of Jerry
Brown's people. We ended up kind of
separate, with most of the Carter people
in the kitchen, drinking beer or wine
and laughing and talking. I was playing
backgammon with my date. Most people
had dates. And after a while, everybody
just got up and left.

PLAYBOY: But Wyler made an allegation
about people going in and out of the
bathroom.

CADDELL: My point is that why, all of a
sudden, does Wyler come out and an-
nounce all these allegations that he
hears? Except that one of the logically
teresting things is that he was in the
living room while this was supposed to
be going on, from which you cannot sec
his bathroom, as far as I know. And I
don't remember seeing him drift around
that much.

PLAYBOY: So you are not too happy with
the press’s response to this?

CADDEL: If 1 were a reporter, 1 would
not be particularly proud of my profes-
sion. The truth of the matter is, every-
body thinks the press should be proud
of Watergate. But except for a few brave
guys, most of those people were in hiding

during Watergate, afraid to touch the

story until after the real trouble became
obvious.
PLAYBOY: Yet it often seems to many

observers that. President. Carter is shoot-
ing his own toes off one at a time through
the peccadillocs of his май. Do you think
that if he is defeated this year, history
will record that Jimmy Carter was
brought down by a series of dinner-party
mistakes, as it were?

CADDELL: Those stories won't amount to
a thimbleful of history. Most historians
ten to fifteen years from now will say
about us what they say today about the
‘Truman Administration. Truman's Ad-
ministration was rocked h scandal,
but now we hardly remember that. Good
old graft and stealing. We're not accused
of anything like that, of course.

I think the historians will write, “My
God, Jimmy Carter went against the tide
of the times, which was not very activist,
and really got a lot of things done.”
PLAYBOY: There must be some special
joys to getting those things done. What
kinds of perks are there for a Presidential
advisor?

CADDELL: Well, you have cars to go places
when you need to on official business,
and support staff and communications
You can get things video-taped. You can
get things moved quickly. You can reach
people around the world—fast. The
greatest thrill in the world I ever had
was picking up the phone on Air Force
One and calling the ground and having
a conversation. "There's nothing like
saying, "Hi," and they say, "Where аге
you?" and I say, "I'm on Air Force One.
We're just flying over”
PLAYBOY: Were you perhaps calling a
girlfriend in that connection?
CADDELL: I'm not going to talk about
that. I don’t know what Government
policy is on that. I'm sure it could be
justified in the larger context of the big
picture.
PLAYBOY: Certainly. Since you're а con-
firmed night person, we wonder how you
work so well with a former peanut
farmer who is notorious for getting up to
work at dawn.
CADDELL: 1 don't know why, but I'm sure
theres a biological reason why we are
e that. I mean, when the sun goes
down, I really light up. Sometimes the
President calls me about something with
great glee carly in the morning, сзре-
Ily on Sunday morning. I can tell [rom
voice that he is secretly delighted
that he woke me up.
PLAYBOY: So as you pursue your strange,
nighttime, polling, advising role, what
calms and consoles you?
CADDEL: The advice Lou Harris once
gave: He said, "The higher a monkey
gets up a tree, the more rear end he's
got showing.”

А system like

yours deserves

engineering like this.

You can spend a fortune on electronics and speakers
and still come up short on performance unless your
turntable can keep up with the rest of your system.
Unless it's engineered for light tracking and low
resonance to deliver music free from howling, rumble or
acoustic feedback.

Like the Kenwood KD-3100. A semi-automatic
direct-drive turntable that combines impressive rota-
tional accuracy with functional, easy-listening con-
venience. It's designed to get the most from any
component music system.

Using our exclusive new brush-
less, coreless and slotless DC servo
motor, Kenwood's engineers have
eliminated the speed fluctuations,
or “cogging,” you get from con-

bid ventional motors.
This cuts rumble to less than
-71dB (DIN weighted). E

We topped that off
with a large, heavy-
weight, high-inertia
platter (220 kg-cm?) that
maintains constant speed. So wow and flutter is re-
duced to an accurate 0.03% (WRMS).

Accurate is also the word that describes the KD-3100's

exclusive high precision tonearm
suspension. It allows the cartridge to
track the record grooves smoothly
and precisely, without
distortion or unwanted
resonance.

And underneath it all is Kenwood's
famous compression-molded resin-
concrete base that virtually eliminates
howling and acoustic feedback. It keeps
things solid as a rock, so you can dance The Bounce
without your cartridge doing The Shimmy.

If you still believe that performance and convenience
can'tfit in the same turntable, look again. The KD-3100's
auto-return/cut mechanism uses a separate 12-pole
motor to gently lift the tonearm and shut itself off at the
end of the record, without affecting

the performance of the main

drive system. For more con-

| venience, there's an illuminated
stroboscope and a variable

speed control with LED indica-
tors. Plus front panel controls that
let you run the show even with the dust cover down.

All this engineering can be yours for $199.00* We
think you deserve it.

WOMEN AT WAR

article By ROBERT SHEA

FOR ONE WING of the feminist movement,
the hot issue these days is not equal pay,
job opportunities, day-care centers, the
Equal Rights Amendment or abortion
rights but pornography. Last September,
a New York-based organization called
Women Against Pornography (WAP)
sponsored a two-day conference at which
an audience of 700 heard Gloria Steinem,
Bella Abzug and other luminaries in-
veigh against Demon Porn. Susan Brown-
miller, author of Against Our Will, a
book on rape, has been leading widely
publicized tours of the Times Square
pornography bazaar, starting from a
storefront that WAP opened in the area.
Similar groups have appeared elsewhere
around the country. In San Francisco,
Women Against Violence in Pornogra-
phy and Media (WAVPM) held a Take
Back the Night march in 1978. which
climaxed with a demonstration in the
commerciaLsex district оп Broadway
Avenue. Similar marches have been
staged in other cities; one in Minneap-
olis last August drew 4500 supporters.

Other feminists һауе been attacking
porn in less conyentional ways. Women’s
groups have prevented showings of
Story of О in several cities by such tactics
as bomb threats and disturbances in the
theaters. In Perth, Australia, feminists
confiscated sex movies outright. In Den-
ver, the Bluebird Five spray-painted and
pasted leaflets on a local porn theater.
In Cologne, West Germany, a feminist
stole $50,000 worth of merchandise from
sex shops, leaving a leaflet signed “Red
Zora, Avenger of the Oppressed.”

Nor аге pornography outlets the only
targets for angry feminists. At 3:15 one
morning last summer, a woman named
Marcia Womongold fired a rifle bullet
through the window of Reading Inter-
national, a respected bookstore in Har-
vard Square. The. store's offense was
selling PrAvmov, Oui and Penthouse.
Elaine Noble, a member of Boston
mayor Kevin White's staff, quickly spoke
up in Wontongold's support: "I think
she has guts,” she said. "We're going to
have to give her а mayor's citation.”

As Womongold’s exploit shows, this
feminist crusade is not aimed at hard-
core pornography alone but against any
sexy material that arouses its ire, includ-
ing newspaper ads and men's magazines,
Using the term loosely in this way, the
women attacking pornography say it is
linked with rape and other sex crimes.
Some believe it is a direct cause of such
crimes, They charge that pornography
creates а cultural climate іп which men
arc encouraged to abuse and humi
women. And they say that porn is an

is offensive to minority groups.

What do they want to do about it? The
dominant. position movement at
the moment seems to be to avoid an out-
right call for censorship. As Abzug put it
at the September WAP meeting. “I do
not believe y for us to inter-

The women hope to arouse public
dignation through demonstrations
other publicity, thereby making pornog-
raphy socially unacceptable.

Abzug's statement notwithst:

feminists advocate what

outlets, destruc-
tion of n 1d harassment of cus-
tomers. The WAP conference. devoted
one of its workshops to such action.

This drive against porn gets its stea
from fear of rape and other violent
crimes against ad children.
While no one knows whether the actual
number or rate of sex crimes is going ир
т down (because historically so few were
reported to the police), there is a wide-
spread. impression that they are on the
rise. We do know that the annual rate of
reported forcible rapes nearly doubled
between 1969 and 1977. At the same
time, the sale of sexually explicit books,
vines and films has been a booming
ness, and some of this material por-

abuse of children.

Some feminists see a positive value in

There is a good deal of ambiguity in
such accusations. Foes of pornography

I find quite dificult to define

this week (Bloodline) depicted the bru-
tal murder of three or four women
while a movie was being made of the
murder. That constituted a fairly large
portion of the movie and it seemed to
be, quite frankly, tangential to the
plot. Now, that must not have been

The hardest thing in science is to
prove that something doesn't exist.
You know, a positive finding is усту
dear, then you can argue about wheth-
er there's more than. you found or less
than you found. You can never con-
vince the world that you didn't find it
because it doesn’t exist; they will persist
in believing that you didn’t look hard
enough or that you didn't look in
the right places. "There's been very little
research added since the work of the
[President's Commission on Obscenity
and Pornography], and the work of the
commission is fairly consistent on [rape
as a result of pornography]. The effects
are extremely minor, just cnough to say
that people who commit rape don't
read pornography. They are probably
less likely to read it than are large num-

bers of those who don't commit rape,
but there's no causal relationship.

Sex olfenders— particularly rapists—
tend ıo grow up with a deficiency of
exposure to pomography. And the

It’s a complex issue, because there's
a lot of research that shows it does just
the opposite. In fact, the stimulation
that people use to reduce aggression—
it’s praynoy stimuli. That seems to be
the type of stimuli that reduces arousal,
reduces anger and reduces subsequent
aggresive behavior. And that's just
been commonly known. We found
that when male subjects view aggressive
crotic films, in which the woman is а
victim of aggression—film of rape—
that even without angering the subjects,
we will get increases in aggre

Edward Donnerstein of the Univer

experiments measuring the effects of
various kinds of erotic material оп ag-
gression in male college students. In a
recent study, men were made angry by
receiving ratings on essays they
had written. To add injury to insult,
they were punished for their poor per-
formance with electric shocks. Then they
were shown a neutral film or a film of
sexual intercourse. without violence or
one in which a man with a gun rapes a
woman. They were then given а chance
to gi c shocks to either male or
fen ms. Donnerstein found that
males who had seen the neutral film
administered the mildest shocks. Those
who had seen the rape film delivered
the most severe shocks, and they gave the
strongest shocks of all to the women.
“Given the increase in sexual and oth
forms of violence against women that
depicted in the media” Donnerstein
concluded, “а concern over such presen-

having them administer electric shocks

THERE WAS A TIME, not really so long ago, when a trip to Europe
was а onceina-lifetime undertaking, and the rare adventurer who
actually managed. to make the trip could dine out on his experi-
ences for years. But the coming of huge, wide-bodied jets—to say
nothing of even wider discount and promotional fares—dramatically
changed all that, and now it’s far more common that the reason a
young file clerk doesn’t show up on Monday morning is that her
plane has been delayed in Europe.

proposition that's designed to sweep a lady off her feet must

WE WERF STANDING in front of the
Holiday Inn in Rogers, Arkansas, the
two of us, waiting for a car to take us
to the armory, where the rally would
be held. Тһе man I was with, smiling,
shifting from foot to foot, kept glanc-
ing up into the cloudless sky and
talking about what a beautiful day it
was. He was 28 years old, 6/2" tall,
lean and well muscled, almost heavily
so in the arms and shoulders, blond,
very fairskinned. But the thing you
noticed about him first and always
was his magic eyes, eyes that were a
little crazy—crazy, as it turned out,
with belief, with commitment to his
life's work, with his obsession to do a
job he felt had to be done to save
Western civilization from collapse
and ruin.

Some days back in Metairie, Louisi-
ana, the city that stands cheek by
jowl with New Orlcans, he had told
me: “I live it, breathe it, dream it,
t it. It is my life, my only life." At
that time, I had just met him and
had no way of knowing if what he
was saying was empty rhctoric or the
truth. Now, after traveling with him.
halfway across the country, I knew
that he believed what he said and

acted upon that belief every waking min-

He was a nonstop proselytizer, talk-
ing to anybody who would listen: wait-

and everybody—as long as they were
white. He Ernest Duke, Grand
Wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux
Klan. To hold such a title in the Klan
at the age of 28 is unprecedented, but
then, David Duke is unprecedented, or
ncarly so, because for good or evil, he is
that scariest of beings, the True Believer.
There is never a doubt in his head or
heart that the job he is doing has to be
done, done at any cost, and he is the
best-qualified one to do it, the only one to
do it.

I had given the past three days of my
life to chasing planes and cabs, sleeping
in motels, which I hate, and listening
almost without relief to interpretations
of history, current and past, so incredible
at times that I found my jaw hanging
slack and drooling as апу idiors. I
had taken the assignment because I be-
lieve that the decade of the Eighties will
be the bloodiest of times, with men set
against one another for real and imag-
ined evils, urban guerrilla warfare such
as this country has never scen, schools
with as many police in the hallways ав
students, the National Guard standing
duty in front of grocery stores and more,
much more.

And I believe David Duke will be right
іп the middle of it all. Duke will not
have caused it to come to pass; he wil
only try to give it direction, feed off it
and rise higher than he has already risen
on the strength of what lives in the crazy
magic of his eyes, on the strength of his
really incredible spcaking ability and on
his not inconsiderable intellect. But, to
repeat, he will not have caused it. The
hatred, the raging, burning hatred, is
already out there in every village, town
and city of this country. It is mostly dis-
guised, and mostly denied, but it is there.

radical as that may sound.

Duke and I were going now to the
armory so he could check it out. The
rally at which he would speak would
be later that night.

How long have you had an organiz
tion here in Rogers?” I asked.

“Two months,” he said, flashing a h
liant smile. He was forever flashing that
smile. It was a constant under those eyes
that never smiled. “Two months ago,
there wasn't a Klansman in this town. I
don't know what to expect tonight.
"There may only be five people there. If
that happens, I'll still give it everything.
Every man who is willing to stand up
with us is important.”

Rogers, Arkansas, has a population of

104 about 15,000. A pretty little town, but a

pretty little town with hair on its belly,
as I would find out. Since we had arrived
that morning, I had checked every way I
could think of to find out how many
blacks lived in Rogers. The answer was
two families and there were virtually no
others there in northwest Arkansas, сх-
cept the few who attended the University
of Arkansas, about 20 miles away. It
seemed to me there may, in fact, be only
five people in the audience that night.

When we had flown into Tulsa earlier
in the day, we were met by two men,
both college professors. Duke introduced
me to them. They did not say whether or
not they were members of the Klan.
Names and numbers of Klansmen are
never given out. It is, after all, called the
Invisible Empire, and it pretty much
lives up to that name. The only way you
can know if a person is really a member
of the Klan is if you see him robed and
hooded at a rally or maybe wearing one
of the Klan's T-shirts h the Klan em-
blem emblazoned on the left side—a
circle with a cross in the middle of it
and at the axis of the cross a diamond
that has at its center a black, so-called
blood drop. It is not unusual to see the
words RACIAL PURITY IS AMERICA'S SECU-
кту printed above and below the em-
blem. Duke wears a silver Klan ring on
the little finger of each hand. and both
rings have the blood-drop emblem cut in-
to the top of them. He constantly touches,
twists and plays with the two rings as he
eats or talks or walks along the street.

The two professors had never met
Duke, but as we got into the car and
started the three-hour drive across the
border to Rogers, they began the long,
almost word-for-word verbal dance I'd
been having with Duke for the past three
days. The profesor driving whipped
the car over the narrow road twisting
through the Arkansas countryside.

So there we were, three college pro-
fessors and Duke, graduate of LSU, with
a reported 1.0. of 170, taking curves in
power slides, passing on double-lined,
blind hills and having a conversation
right out of Alice in Wonderland. Or at
least the two guys in the front scat were
talking a Jot. Duke and I were more or
less silent and rigid, because the guy
driving was scaring the hell out of us.

‘How things down in New Orleans?"

"Well," said Duke. Then stopped and
glanced at his watch. "Say, we've got
plenty of time. I don't believe we've got
to drive so... ." But then he shut up
and turned as white as any Klansman
anywhere could ever want, as the car
went into a long curve, tires squcaling,
engine whining.

“Niggers and Commies'er still in the
saddle," said the other professor. “I
know that."

"This is as good a place as any to point
out that 1 never once heard Duke use

the words nigger or racial supremacy.
He consistently uses the words Negro
and white power, and for Jew he prefers
the word alien. I mention all of this not
because it changes anything substantially
but to suggest that if such subtle (if sub-
tle is the word, and I suspect it is not)
changes in language are made, it puts a
much smoother skin over the same old
beast. I liked Duke and many of the
other members of his organization.
When they broke out of their racial
monologs and rampant paranoia, they
were great guys to travel with or talk
with or eat with. But I always had the
feeling that if you took a Phillips-head
screwdriver and loosened the four little
screws that held the plates on the backs
of their heads and looked inside, you
would see that at least two fuses were
burned out.

Now rapid as gunfire between the pro-
fessors in the front scat, the one driving
looking as much at us as at the road:

“The history of the nigger in Africa is
a blank. Hell, it is a blank.’

“Primitive. History shows anything,
shows that. Couldn't суеп write.”

"Couldn't count neither. Try coun
if you don't have any numbers. And they
didn’t, Not even a one, much less a two.”

"Didn't have а wheel.

"Didn't have fire.”

“Used heads for moncy.

“Where was Michelangelo and David
cut out of pure rock?"

"Damn FBl—and I wouldn't trust
them suckers far as 1 could throw Michel-
angelo and David—but sometimes they
do tell the truth, even if it’s a accident,
and the FBI's donc told us, niggers have
ten times as many bastard children as us.

“The more we feed, the more they
breed.” (This last is a kind of slogan that
is all through Klan literature and print-
ed on clothing. As a matter of fact,
everything the two professors were saying
I'd seen printed in one place or another
in The Crusader, a newspaper founded
and published by Duke. It was as though
somebody had dropped a quarter into
the two guys up front and they were
giving him back his own subject matter.
I don't know what he thought of their
recital, but 1 know the driving had got
to him pretty good.)

“Niggers done thirteen times as man
murders and things.”

“Really, you could slow down, we. .

“Ten times the rapes. . . .”

“This sure is pretty counuy. We went
slower I could. . ..”

“Nigger kid's 1.Q.’s eighty. White one's
over a hundred.”

‘There were no slams for the Catholics,
because Duke admits Catholics to mem-
bership in his organization, Knights of
the Ku Klux Klan, because Catholics

THE FUN BEGAN in the winter of 1924 in
Chamonix, France. Although some figure-
skating events had been scheduled in the
1908 summer games in London and
again at Antwerp in 1920, winter sports
had been mostly ignored in the Olympics
since the modern games began in 1896.
Complaints of discrimination from the
Scandinavian and Alpine countries fi-
nally moved the International Olympic
Committee to schedule a full slate of
winter sports preceding the regular sum-
mer games.

To most of the world's sports buffs,
the new winter games were a second-rate
attraction. Until 1956, the Scandinavian
countries dominated many of the events,
to the widespread disinterest of most
other countries. But—as in other areas
of human endeavor—technology has
wrought its revolutionary wonders. En-
closed ice rinks, refrigerated bobsled
runs, snow-making machines and ski lifts

magnificence. It is this: There is no way,
using the conventional naked-eyeball
technique of watching what is going on
and then writing about it, to get more
than a fragmentary view of what is
happening. Of course, it is not only
journalists who are muddled; ordinary
spectators, ski coaches and even the
athletes themselves are as ill informed
during an event as cowering towr
people during a medieval siege. The
exception is ski jumping; it is possible
to mill around the base of a 90-meter
jumping hill and actually see the heroes
ге themselves down the monstrous in-
run, ejaculate at precisely the highest
point of the lip and float through the
rmament, stiff with ecstasy. Bring your
inoculars and you can count the hairs
jumper's cars.

Not much can be seen of racing,
however; a few gates of a slalom run, а
swoop and a half of giant slalom, a blur
of the downhill, and then the course
vanishes around a bend and down a
headwall. It is not quite accurate to say
that the great racers of the past—Emile
Allais, Ernst Hinterseer, Toni Sailer and
the rest—carned their reputations in
ion, because every turn they
observed with wonder by
someone. But it was fluidity admired in
bits, and it is small wonder that it took
other racers a long time to figure out
what the great innovators were doing
that made them go so fast.

‘Television was the answer, of course,
but took television some years to
learn how to cope. So many cameras!
1 that cable! In the meantime, fas-
cinated by the mystery of the thing,
perhaps, a lot of us went right on watch-
ski races by hand. And listening to
them. World-class slalom racers going
down a tight, steep course slam their
skis around so acrobatically that they
make a lot of noise if the snow is hard;
whacks and grunts are what you hear.
‘The giant slalom is a faster, more rhyth-
mical race, looping through a course of
long, round turns, and the sound is of
heaving lungs as the skiers suck air. ‘The
downhill is frighteningly fast, with most
of the turns determined by the moun-
tain itself, not by pairs of flags, and it is
nearly silent. The soft hiss of skis is all
that can be heard in the moments when
the crowd is quiet, and that sound, as
it happens, is caught precisely by the
French word for the event: descente.

The slalom is snaky and quick, and
the giant slalom is the most beautiful
of the Alpine ski events (or so the
glimpses we got told us), but it is the
downhill, in which skiers must deal not
just with a cleverly devised succession
of gates but with an entire mountain,
ound which the legends have grown.
А few seconds into the Hahnenkamm

108 downhill run at Kitzbühel, memory says,

and just after a steep schuss, there was a
ge bump, followed by а sizable sec
tion of mountain never rutted by ski
tracks on race days, because the racers
did not ski it. They flew over it for 80
or 100 feet, having been thrown into
the air by the bump. Then they landed
and, while absorbing the extreme com-
ion of the jump, instantly nego-
te, a fast turn
аг [ell away steeply to the right into
an icy chute. This prankish succession
of bump, flight and turn was called the
Mausefalle, ог mousetrap, and it was
the worst (meaning the best) stretch. in
the best (meaning the worst) downhill
ace course in the world. A [ew years
ago, when the world was new, we used
to get up early on race days to stake ош
roosts along its sides.

There, while we passed around bot-
tles of Kremser white wine, we would
watch airborne bodies hurtle into view
from beyond the horizon, which is to say
from the uphill side of the bump. Be-
tween pulls of Kremser and bitten-off
hunks of a superior mule-meat е
called Jéigerwurst, we awarded style
points to the racers. The intention of
а downhiller approaching the Mause-
falle most exactly the reverse of
what a ski jumper wants to do, which is
to fh high and as far as possible. The
downhiller goes faster on snow than in
the air, in part because an airborne
skier presents a greater surface to the
braking force of the wind. So the racer
reduces the length of his flight by jump-
ing before the bump—jumping over it
if he can and, if not, at any rate damp-
ing the unwanted upward thrust it will
give him.

We would jaw leamedly about this
prejumping, and about holding a tuck
while in the air (a skier who loses nerve
or balance and breaks out of his crouch
will not slip subtly through the wind).
Eventually, the bodies would stop sail-
ing or tumbling by us, and that would
be the race, the renowned Hahnenkamm
"rooster comb," named for the moun-
tain on which it is held). We would
finish our wine and ski sedately to the
finish line, not knowing till we got
there who had won, though in those days
we always assumed that it would be Karl
Schranz. Years later, we told cach other
stories of the marvels we were sure we
remembered seeing Schranz perform.

The television people had bought
themselves down jackets by now, and
they were learning their trade. For some
reason, it was almost impossible to
photograph steepness so that it looked
steep, but the flow of a downhill race,
seen heretofore only by cirding buz-
zards, was caught superbly by the tube.
Even so, it was not till four years ago
that most of us really saw а downhill.
When we saw it, however, it stayed seen,

and anyone who had the set turned on
that day can start a cassette player in his

head and watch the whole thing again.
The scene was Innsbruck-on the Tube,
during the 1976 winter Olympics. Aus-
wii, the host country, was not doing
well "The games were winding down
and the local team had yet to win a gold
medal—or, for that matter, a silver or
bronze. The men's downhill was the last
solid hope, and the first seed of 15
racers, it was the Swiss Bernhard Russi,
not one of the earlyrunning Austrians,
who was in the lead after a glittering
run. The last Austrian who had a realis-
tic chance was the 15th skier, Franz
Klammer, a big, tough mountain man
who had started an amazing streak that
would carry him to eight straight World
Cup downhill victories. But Ше Olympic
games generate more pressure than any
single World Cup competition, and if
Klammer did not beat Russi, his great
year would be waved away by his country-
men with a “Ja, aber...” ("Yes, but...").
Klammer, wearing yellow, slung him-
self out of the starting gate on sheer
arm power, the way Jean-Claude Killy
used to do, and within a few seconds
was going too fast. He hit a bump
awkwardly at the beginning of a fast,
sweeping right turn, and his left sl
the outside ski, the one that carries the
stability in a conventional right turn—
skidded out from under him. "He's in
trouble!” yelled ABC's Bob Beattie, who
had coached the U.S. team at the
Grenoble Olympics eight years before.
Klammer recovered. “And again!” Bea
tie hollered. Klammer held again. He
was going crazily fast, but his tightrope
walker's arm waving during his recov-
eri had cost time. At the half
split, his time was .12 second behind
Russi’s. He plunged on, at the edge of
what was possible, wavering over that
edge, style gone, control in shreds, re-
taining nothing but speed and a rickety
balance. And—Austria was saved, the
Turks were driven back at the gates of
Vienna—he beat Russi by half a second.
‘Besser kann man fast nicht fahren,
said Klammer three years afterward: “It
is nearly impossible to ski better.” It
was not a boast, merely ап accurate
and somewhat rueful recollection. He
had gone on to win the 1977-1978 World
Cup downhill competition, but last year
his best results in nine races were a
couple of fifth-place finishes at Val
Gardena, Italy, and his World Cup posi-
tion had dropped to 19th. He was 24
years old last March as the disappoint-
ing season ended drearily at Whistler

weather forced the cancellation of the

that sort of thing, though he was heavy-

the West, including gestures. Gromyko,

ment, would say: “The more emphasis
the Americans put on the UN, comrade,
the less we have to worry about.

Oakes's ruminations were interrupted
as the sound of the motor got louder,
and he rose and opened the window dis-
creetly to look down the street, in the
direction it came from. He saw lcading
the column a jeep with four men, the
n next to the driver holding in
hand a clipboard. Behind him two offi-
cers, one of them studying a map spread
out over his knees. There followed a
half-track armored car, а half-dozen sol-
diers with machine guns seated on the
platform to the rear of the driver's cabin.
"There rose from the same platíorm what
looked like a small gantry. Swinging gai-
ly from it—Oakes stopped breathing—
was a clcarly discernible noose. Instant-
ly, his eyes turned to the building across
the street, two doors down. “Тһео!”—
Ше word formed itself in his throat. But
no. The room in the quiet old boarding-
house, the small, tidy room maintained
by the little salesman who regularly paid
the rent but was seldom there, was sure-
ly inviolate. When on the Wednesday
night two weeks ago young Theo told

Oakes had made a gesture. "If it goes
sour, you'll be safe.” Had Theo taken
refuge there? Theo, aged 20, had taken
to sleeping at Frieda's house whenever
Frieda’s mother was in Va looking
after her orphaned nephew and пісе
Perhaps Theo was hiding at Fried.
Perhaps he had been killed, or captured.

Oakes remembered the utter elation in
the young student's face when he met
Blackford at the tavern, during the tense
week before the assumption of power by
Imre Nagy. Theophilus Molnar was
slight of build but the star soccer player
at the university. His fingers were slender
and his voice had a premature gentle-
ness, that of a philosopher who, along
the way, decides that, really, there is
nothing left in the world worth raising

one's voice about. The excitement was

internalized. Theo
Oakes as Harry Browne, a young еп
neer hired by an Austrian firm as a pur-
chasing agent for special American
equipment required to construct the
huge new municipal aquarium. They
met first irregularly, and then two or
three times a week, usually at the same
tavern, a favorite of the students and the
younger teachers. At first, Theo talked
mostly about the soccer games, occasion-
ally about his absorption in classical
studies; but gradually about his deter-
mination, and that o[ his friends, to
strike out and free their country from
the Soviet Union. One night he brought.
Frieda, almost as tall as Theo, with
bright cyes and intense manner, passion-
ate in her convictions, inquisitive about
Blackford, exultant over her command
of English, so much more fluent than her
fiance's. Theo spoke usually in German,
occasionally in a lilting English into
which he effortlessly insinuated the Ger-
man when he did not know the English
word. He had told Harry that their plans
were not mere abstractions. That they
intended to take power. How? By actu-
ally forcing the resignation of the satel-
lite Prime Minister and replacing him
with a patriot. What would the Russians
do? The Russians, he explained earnest-
ly, his dark hair falling loosely over his
young, unlined forehead, could not hope
to hang on to the satellite empire. Theo
spoke in his still, soft way, playing with
a bread stick, which he looked down at
as he whispered discreetly. The Russians,
he reminded Blackford, had had troubles
earlier in the year in Poland. Czechoslo-
vakia was restive. Bulgaria and Romania
would be tougher to pry loose and East
Germany probably the last to assert it-
self. But—he smiled, showing his small,
even tecth; a smile with the assurance
distinctive to the truly innocent—the
Russians would accept fatalistically
the nationalism that was about to take
over. Stalin was dead. He had been de-
nounced only eight months ago by

Khrushchev himself. Khrushchev had
spoken of a thaw and released thousands
of prisoners. It is God's will, Theo sa
that man should be free. The cmancipa-
tion of the satellites was a necessary next
step, didn't Harry think so? Blackford
Oakes, taller than Theo by several inches,
older by 11 years, with hair lingeringly
blond, his blue eyes expressive, the tini-
est crease of experience visible at the
corners, bore himself in the relaxed man-
ner of the perfectly proportioned young
American male, totally relaxed phys-
ically. He replied in a voice tenser than
‘Theo was used to hearing: "Don't count
on it."

"Wouldn't the Americans help?”

“What could they do?”

“What could they do? Harry, what
could they do! The Americans control
the world! One word from the White
House and that's it!”

“Theo. Listen, Listen hard. If one
word from the White House were all
that was needed to free Hungary, that
word would have been uttered a long
ie ago. The White House can't give it
until internal conditions are ripe.

“What Ет telling you," Theo said ex-
citedly, "is that those conditions are ripe
right now. I meet twice a week with"—
he paused. Embarrassed, Theo looked
down at the bread stick and finished his
interrupted sentence—“people. People
who know. The Americans won't make
the mistake of missing this signal. It will
be very clear.

“But Theo. What if the White House
gives the magic word and the Russians
ignore it?”

“There will be chaos, stretching from
Danzig to Trieste. The Russians can't
contend with chaos.

Blackford said nothing. Then he
thought, and spoke quietly, but the tone
of voice was decisive. “Be careful about
yourself. Now repeat this." Theo looked
up, curious, tense, silent. “Repeat after
me: Forty-one Dohany Street, room four
С.

Theo understood, and his clean-shaven
face was perfectly solemn when he said,
as though an acolyte, “Forty-one Dohany,
room four C."

"Don't. mention that address to any-
body."

"I won't."

Blackford rose and shook hands. Theo
felt the slim cold object, and deftly һе
slipped the key unobserved into his pants
pocket. Three days later, Nagy made his
move; two days later, the statue of Stalin
was ripped down from its imperious
domination of the Kossuth Square, to the
shouts and cheers of what must have
been half the population of Budapest,

Boris Andreyvich Bolgin was in Paris
on his monthly visit from London and,
as ever, occupied the office of the military
attaché, who obligingly moved—some-
where; Bolgin never bothered to ask
where. Everybody was obliging to Bol

gin's dispositions tended to be accepted
in Moscow as final.

He was one of Soviet agents in
Europe who had the privilege of a. per-
sonal code. When he elected to use that
code, which was frequently, he would
eject the operator from the encoding
oom and tap out his message himself.
He would be brought replies, or instruc
tions, from Moscow in the same code,
undecipherable except by himself.

When he cabled from London the

plastic containers.

He ordered the cables from Eur
capitals, and from Moscow and V

was addressed to him personally. It read:
"DID WE PICK UP BLACKFORD OAKES IN

the office telephone and sent for the code

Suzanne Somers was mak-
ing an appearance on the
Johnny Carson show recent-
ly and the subject of her
former career as a model
came up. She mentioned
that she and a pLaysoy pho-
tographer had done some
swimsuit fashion shots in
Mexico a few years back. No
nude shots, of course, though
the topic had been discussed.
Yes, she had considered pos-
ing, she said, and had even
gone as far as to show up at
Playboy Studio West in Los
Angeles. But she'd backed
down at the last minute.

It would not be stretching
things to suggest that several.

FIRST THERE WAS the vacuum tube, then the transistor,
and a few years ago, the microprocessor hit the scene
and was installed in everything from calculators to
home computers. But because microprocessors occupy
зо little space and can store and retrieve enormous
amounts of information, they were perfect for another
type of format: hand-held games. Some of the games
shown can be played solo, with you competing against
the computer; others pit you against a human
opponent—and all are as addictive as a bowl of pea-
nuts. So settle down for a night of fun and games—
one in which the time as well as the bleeps will fly.

WHILE WE MAY NOT quite agree with Studio 54
owner Steve Rubell’s pronouncement that
disco is passé, it certainly doesn't exert the
steamy influence it did last year at this time—
despite an occasional flash by the likes of
Maggie Trudeau (sce page 156). What scems
to be replacing discos is something far camp-
ier—the confusing world of the transsexual
and the transvestite. Female impersonators
have been around at least since the days of
ancient Greece, when male actors assumed all
the roles in theater; these days, though, what
with hormones. silicone and surgery, it's get-
ting really hard to tell which sex is which—
something that apparently adds to the fun of
a visit to the current New York nightlife
hot spot. the Barnum Room. "LE FREAK,
C'EST сыс," New York magazine headlined a
piece about the place; Stéfen Verk, writing in
the gay-oriented entertainment weekly Mi-
chael’s Thing. described it as "Fellini and
Cocteau in a joint vision of Sodom and Gomor-
rah with an overlay of circus and disco and an
underlay of totally casual decadence.” Barnum's
features the Disco Bats, nearly nude acrobats
who wiggle their derriéres toward your drink
and perform simulated sex in and above a net
high over the dance floor; the place is drawing
more and more celebrity visitors, among them
Julie Christie, Robert Redford, Henry Mancini
and novelist Jerzy Kosinski. What else were the
Beautiful People doing this past year? Telling
all. Never have we scen such a spate of breath-
less confessions, from the alorcmentioned Mrs
Trudeau to Britt Ekland, who, while promot

DAVID DUKE ..............

“Duke represents the new Klan. He means to carry
the day with his own special brand of logic.”

Nathan Bedford Forrest, who headed the
Klan in 1867, General Forrest admitted
Catholics, so Duke does, too. Many chap-
ters of the Klin, both past and present,
do not, however.

They had just broken onto the subject
of Jews when, thank God, we rolled

about blacks. I'd already had a pretty

the thrills of the slippery sports to mod-

crate climates and to recreation bulls
who never before even saw a pair of skis
or ice skates. Television has brought the

dizying speeds and poetic grace of win-
ter sports to desert towns and topical
islands. As a result, spectator interest in
the winter games now rivals that of the
mes.
In recent years, as many as 37 nations
have entered the winter Olympics (the
African and Central American countries
conspicuously absent) and domi-
nance of the games has shilted trom the
п countries to those of East-
mostly Russia and East

ans have been in the skating

Also, new refrigerated bobsled and luge
runs (the first and only ones in the West-
crn Hemisphere) opened in Lake Placid
this past year, which means that ou
participants in those sports сап begin
practice two months earlier than in pre-
ous years.
One of the disadvantages suffered by
American contestants (as well as those of
other Western countries) is the relative
openness of their preparations and irain-
ing. as opposed to the great secretiveness
of the Eastern European countries. As in
the summer games, the main competition

speak to outsiders. They are especially
hostile toward the West German athletes.
Western participants, therefore, rarely
have more than an approximate idea of
the identity or excellence of their Com-

Mitscherlich showed up for the Olympics
and won a silver medal. No one in the
Western world had heard of her before,
and no one has seen her since.

There ave other less politically rele-
vant clements of uncertainty that make
the outcome of the winter Olympics diffi-
cult to predict. Many winter-sports ath-
letes have a disturbing tendency to hit
peaks and valleys of ability. much to the
chagrin of their coaches. For that reason,
nost countries have squads of prospec
tive competitors in each event in full
taining for months before the games
begin, with the final selection of the p
ticipants being made only days belore
the opening ceremonies.

While we're waiting to see if the all-
important luck factor helps or hinders
our countrymen, let's take а look at the
various evi nd see which nations and
athletes (at presstime) have the best
chances to take home some Olympic
rdware.

FIGURE SKATING

The United States could take th
the four gold medals in figure sk
with the other one—in ice
probably going to one of the Ra
pairs. Such an outcome wouldn't surprise
ап because at least half of the top
figure skaters in the world today are
Americans.

I the American skaters are seriously
challenged in any of the events other
than ice dancing, it will likely be in the

Dick Button burst onto the scene and
revolutionized the sport. Button intro-
duced a much т athletic content
to the discipline, perhaps the most spec-

tacular of which was his triple jump in
the final competition for the 1952 gold
medal. His performances (he also won
the gold in 1918) changed the look of
men’s figure skating. With Bu

the enhanced athletic content ol figure

see the first quadrupleloop jump and
that it will be an American who goes
for it.

Liability insu of course. covers
damage your car inflicts on other people's bo nd property.
It's usually expressed in abbreviated form, such as 10/20/5,
each number a multiple of $1000. It means that for any acci-
dent you cause, your r will pay no more than 510.000
per person for injuries, a per-accident total of no more than
)000 for everyone injured and no more than $5000 for
property damage.

Many states set minimums (usually around 10/20/5). But
with today's jury settlements routinely running into the hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars, the minimum is peanuts.

Most experts, such as Dr. Arthur L. Williams. head of the i

surance department at. Pennsylvania State University, say your
bility coverage should be af least 100 300/25; instead of
$20.000 per accident. the nce company would pay
5300.000. The extra coverage will cost you up to 50 percent
nore, but skimpy insurance could mean financial wipe-out.
ving more now could save you a bundle later.
Meanwhile, you still can cut your insurance costs. One way
is by opting for a "special" policy, which many companies now
offer. These policies give slightly reduced coverage, but they
cost about 15 percent less than standard policies. And the
reduced coverage could be im an area that, for you, is non-
essential. For example, special policics usually give you and
your passengers less medical coverage. But if you have health
insurance, you're already protected.

CARVING INTO COLLISION

Besides switching to a special policy, you also can cut costs by
trimming unneeded coverage. And a likely candidate for the
scalpel is the collision part of your policy. which pays for
damage to your own car when you can't collect from another
driver's insurance company. If you finance your car, collision
coverage may be mandatory (so the bank can protect its invest-
ment). But as Old Rusty nears senility, you may find you're р:

But even while your car is still showroom shiny, you can save

deductible—the amount you must. pay
for repairs before the insurance com-
pany takes over, The standard deduct-
ible is $100, which means you pay for
all repairs up to $100, with the insur
ance company covering any costs over
that amount. If you switch to a $500
deductible, your collision premium
should drop about 45 percent. Estimate

Incidentally, no-fault laws (enacted
in more than half of the states) have

Other prospects for the knife? You can save by upping the
deductible of your comprehensive coverage, which pays for

Anyone who sees anything else іш а
PLAYboy picture of a beautiful and un-
adorned woman should remember the
motto ‘Honi soit qui mal pense'— Evil
is as evil thinks.

Clearly, there can be no such thing as
a definition of pornography that satisfies
everyone. Perhaps Ellen Willis sums it
up best: "What turns me on is crotic:
what turns you on is pornographic.”

Ever since its Roth decision іп 1957,
establishing obscenity as a category of
expression not protected by the First
Amendment, the Supreme Court has en-
gaged in a drawn-out and probably hope-
less effort to define the obscene. In its
Miller vs. California dccision in 1973, the
Court owed its definition to mat
explicitly portraying ultimate sexual acts.
Material that does not port А
activity but focuses instead оп м
lencc—bondage, torture, mutilation and
murder—is probably not subject to pros-
ccution under the Court's current guide-
lines. WAP wants to change that, which
makes it somewhat disingenuous to de-
clare that it is “not ing out any new
exceptions to the First Amendment.”

If some future Supreme Court were to

WAP cannot accept the notion of ob-
scenity and also say. "We do not advo-
cate censorship.” Obscenity is the key
concept that makes censorship possible
n this country in spite of the First
Amendment. In Roth, the Supreme
Court stated that "implicit in the his-
tory of the First Amendment is the
rejection of obscenity as utterly without

The implications of that principle, as it

freedom of expression.

As if that were not enough, Brown-
miller has gone the Supreme Court one
better and come up with yet another
justification for depriving people of their

The following excerpt proves televi-

Pornography has always been
the subject of controversy in our soc
ety. Recently, the women's movement
has been con iolent
protests ag, nd abuse of
women in pornography. One militant
critic is Marcia Womongold. who lives
in Boston amd believes in guerrilla war-
fare against pornography. Marcia wrote
a book, Pornography: А License to Kill.

Marcia, you've been compared by
Тһе New York Times to Carry Nation.
woMoxcOLD: Well, I don't think that's
really 1 comparison. because I'm
not tying to. proh
hol. I'm trying to regulate the sale of
pornography. and trying to remove it

dren can leaf through it.

отк: You define ex
тарһу that doesn't meet your standard.
I've never heard that definition of por-
nography anywhere.
wowowconp: Anything that exploits
sex and is woman-hating. In other
words, yes, those sexually explicit gloss-

¢ pornographic. But not because
they show nudity. ‘They're not neutral.
They also show a lot of woman-hating
mockery of women, calling women
terms that are like animals or property

reasons is because the women's move-

WOMONGOLD: It's no use for a woman to
take a rapist to trial. I think she should
prevent the rape in the first place by
being armed and by defending herself.
Now. if men are going to go around
doing aggressive acts against us, setting
из up to be raped with these magazines
and with movies like Looking for Mr.

отек: Well, then, you're a vigilante,
basically. You're saying women should

wowoxcorp: It’s defined as assault and

have the right to Mace me and hurt me?

For instance, on one such tour, con-

than pictures of straight sex acts between
men and women, as well as various well-
known, nonviolent deviations. There

by the pictures in those magazines and
develop the desire to tie real women up,
but to a man who is not into bondage,
those photos of women trussed up like
mummies look extremely odd and not at

booths for private viewing of the short,

(because they run continuously as long

other booths from which patrons could

is a new generation voice stress analyzer that is so
compact, lightweight, and portable that it easily
fits into your desk drawer or briefcase

And unlike the old-fashioned polygraph, it
doesn’t need wires connecting it to the body. So
when you use the Truth Machine you will have to
tell your subjects that they are being monitored,
because there is absolutely no other way for any-
опе to know that their statements are being
checked for accuracy. *

TODAY YOU NEED A TRUTH MACHINE

You succeed by knowing the answers. By mak-
ing the right decisions. To make the right decision
you need the facts. . you must know the whole
truth. But unfortunately, almost everyone you
deal with has а motive to practice at least some
deception. Unless you're a mind reader you never
know whether or not you're getting a straight
answer when you ask:

* Is this your lowest price. . .your best offer?

* Have you mailed that check to me yet?

* Can you deliver my order on time?

= Have you told me everything | need

to know?

* Can | depend on you?

* Are these figures correct?

= Are you confident about this investment?

* Will they settle out of court?

When you ask a direct question you deserve a
straight answer, And that's the beauty of the Truth
Machine; it will give you a straight answer. . even
if someone else doesn't. It's your best possible
defense against doubt, risk, and deception.

vent dishonesty simply by letting everyone know
that you own the Truth Machine. 11% a powerful
deterrent for anyone who is tempted to mislead
you or tell you less than the truth!

IT'S AMAZINGLY SIMPLE!

Like many technological discoveries, voice stress
analyzers grew out of military research during the
Vietnam war. Army intelligence needed something
better than the standard polygraph to interrogate
prisoners. A simple method that could be used
without the subject’s knowledge. The voice stress
anstyzer was the resul

The principle is remarkably simple. Scientists
already knew lying produced unconscious and un-
controllable stress that could be recorded by а
polygraph. Researchers soon discovered that this
stress also affected the muscles controlling the
vocal cords and caused an inaudible 'microtremor*
in the voice. All that was needed was a device
sensitive enough to pick up and record these in-
audible vibrations. And that was a relatively easy

micro-computer immediatel

accomplishment considering the state of modern
electronic technology.

BUSINESSMEN BECOME MIND READERS

їп addition to police and intelligence agencies,
many of the “Fortune 500” corporations have
quietly been using voice stress analyzers for sever-
al years. Large industrial and retail companies use
it to control employee theft and screen job appli-
cants. And dozens of large insurance companies
have been using voice stress analyzers to uncover
false claims. They simply tape an interview with
anyone filing a suspicious claim, then play back
the recording and monitor it with a voice stress
analyzer.

In the past only the largest, most profitable
companies felt they could justify spending $1500
to $5000 to purchase a voice stress analyzer. How.
ever, like everything else in the electronics field,
these high prices reflect the heritage of a proto:
type and not the quality of a reliable voice stress
analyzer.

The new cost-saving, solid state, micro-chip tech-
nology and mass production have made voice stress
analyzers affordable. Today, for only $149.00 you
сап have a compact unit that is far more sensitive
than the top-secret units originally used by the
military! There is no better way to get at the truth

and remove the risk and uncertainty from those
important decisions that face you every day!

AND IT'S ENTERTAINING!

Because it can pick up and analyze any audible
statement, use of the Truth Machine is limited
only to your imagination. Seeing the stress reading
до wild when politicians and celebrities give their
"candid' views during television press conferences
and talk shows can provide you with hours of
‘amusement and some very important insight. You
can have the satisfaction of knowing the real truth
about the energy crisis. . what people in power
really expect from the economy. . how safe ёх-
perts actually think you are from a nuclear power
plant. and you'll find the reat truth behind many
intriguing and controversial people in the news.
You may be surprised!

EASY TO OPERATE!

Unlike the polygraph, there are no sophisticated
operating techniques to learn. With our easy, step-
by-step instruction manual you can easily master
the Truth Machine with only a few hours of prac-

display. When the numbers on the digital read-out
reach the stress area, you know you're hearing
less than the truth. And it’s versatile. You can

observations of long-term pornography
watchers. Joseph Slade, who monitors the
industry's annual output for the Kinsey
Institute for Sex Research, estimates that
bout eight percent of the feature-length
lms currently being shown are of the
aggressive or variety. For the
short films displayed in peep shows and
sold by mail, the figure rises to about 12
percent. That represents an
since those innocent days, n ars
ago, when the Commission on Obscenity
and Pornography issued its report. But
it is nothing like the take-over usually de-
scribed in feminist antiporn propaganda.

Still, the violent stuff does exist, and,
more to the point, Brownmiller and
some of her sisters find even ordinary
erotica offensive. TI the way they
perceive it, s really no point
in arguing that issue, any more than one
would argue over the “real” meaning of
a Rorschach ink blot. But if, as they
claim, pornography is “fascistic, misog-

violent

ynist propaganda," then, propa-
ganda—the communication of ideas,
good or bad—it is entitled to First

Amendment protection. “All ideas hav-
ing even the slightest redeeming social
importance—unorthodox ideas, contro-
versial ideas, even ideas hateful to the
prevailing climate of opinion—have the
full protection of the guaranties. unless
exdudable because they encroach upon
the limited area of more important inter-
ests,” declared the Supreme Court in
that crucial Roth decision. The enemies
of pornography cannot have it both ways.
.
In a free society, one combats words,
ages and ideas not with force, legal

legal, but with other words, ages

and ideas. Anyone feeling threatened
or maligned has the right to launch
campaign of counterpropaganda that
as loud, vigorous and ingenious as he or
she can manage. Much of what the wom-
en's antipornography movement is do-
ing—the marches, the picketing, the
leafleting, the tours of pornography dis-
tricts, the conferences—is precisely the
sort of activity the First Amendment was
designed to protect encourage.
Some of the charges may be exaggerated,
some of the perceptions biased, but in
the give and take of free public debate,
the accurate and the inaccurate will ulti
mately sort themselves out. That this
must be so is an article of faith with ad-
vocates of freedom of expression. The
antipornography movement has every
right to call public attention to mater
it finds offensive and to heap public
scorn on it—just as others have a right to
buy and sell the same material. If WAP.
means it when it says, “We do not advo-
cate censorship,” and if it truly believes,
аз Brownmiller put it, “that explicit sex-
ual material has its place in literature,
art, science and education,” then it's pos-
sible that its efforts could work a healthy
change in the character and quality of
erotic materi: this coun-
ту. In the past ten years, the women's
movement has had a noticeable impact
on communications, from women's roles
in the media right down to the language
writers use in referring to the sexes, and
those changes were mostly achieved
through persuasion.

Among the measures proposed to com-
bat pornography that go beyond persua-
sion, there is the boycott. Declaring a
boycott of the shops and theaters that

offer hard-core pornography would be
meaningless, obviously. So if the move-
ment tries boycotting as a tactic, we are
likely to see threats of boycott aimed at
the more widely acceptable erotic mate-
rial that reaches not just hard-core porn
bufs but the general publ In fact,
WAVAW did threaten to call a boycott
against a record company it accused of
using images of beaten women on its
album covers. It promoted а letter-writ-

е is also talk of organizing "second-
ary" boycotts— pressure on stores or the-

aters not to carry material the movement
considers offensive. While it doesn't in-
fringe on the First Amendment, being a
purely private action, the secondary boy-
cott is a form of censorship that unfairly
prevents the public from making its own
decisions about buying or not buying
the material in question. Essentially, one
proup of customers is depriving another
group of customers the freedom to
choose what it reads or sees. The effect
is the same as if the local chief of police
himself confiscated the offending pub-
lications or movies. It is what might be
called vigilante censorship.

Ironically, the women’s war on porn
plays into the hands of those who do not
want to sce women make real progress,
and it also divides women from the
forces that have encouraged their prog-
ress up to now. The resources of fe
nists are limited; the movement as a
whole consists, after all, not of all the
women in the country but of a relative
handful of activists who can sometimes
mobilize wider support for important
issues. Right now, the over-all women's
struggle faces severe tests. Inflation and
recession threaten women's economic
and social ns. The Equal Rights
Amendment is stilemated. Legal abor-
Чоп is under attack. by one of the most
effective and richest grassroots politic
organizations ever developed іп this
country, Right to Life.

But stamping out porn is on the con-
servative agenda, too. Why is it that the
cities in which feminists are most numer-
ous and active are also the cities
which pornography is most openly avail-
able? The relatively liberal, cosmopoli-
tan attitudes prevalent in cities such as
New York and San Francisco make them
hospitable both to women's liberation
and to pornography. You won't find
many porno shops in Tulsa, but you
won't find much of a women's move-
ment there, cither.

Perhaps the positive connection be-
tween erotica and feminism goes deeper
than that. Modern woman's struggle for
autonomy goes back to the days whe
Margaret Sanger was going to jail under

the Comstock Act for sending birth-control information
through the mail—the same Comstock Act that led to the law
under which participants in the movie Deep Throat were
prosecuted in 1976. Over the past 100 y steady liberaliz-
ing process has rescued more and more
tion from the power of the censor. This
of censorship has opened the door to the pornographer. It has
also made possible the flow of information and public honesty
about sex that revolutionized sexual attitudes in this country
and was a necessary background for the women's moveme

But are we paying too high a price for this cultural growth?
The women fighting pornography say that the cost of free
dom of sexual expression is to be reckoned in another kind of
growth, that of the annual numbers of women abused, crip-
pled, killed. How can а man's right to sce a dirty movie out-
weigh a woman's right to health, safety and bodily integrity?
But that is a false dichotomy. If, tomorrow, we were to shut
down all the porno bookstores and peepshow parlors in all
the Times Squares across the country, it would have no effect
on the rape rate. If, as seems probable, the rapist is the
product of a sexually ignorant, repressed environment, a
return to severe censorship might actually make matters
worse. In the end, what evidence is there that pornography

PORNOGRAPHY/RAPE INTERVIEWS

Seymour Feshbach

"There's no evidence that violent por-
nography stimulates rape, but there is
some indication that people become
more accepting of rapes, somewhat less
punitive and less inhibited by instances
of rape. : is some data that there
are 1 changes.

How serious that is is something that

who's a premature ejaculator or who has

How can you tell why somebody did
something? You usually can't tell by look-
ing at the last book he read. And the
furthest 1 think one could go is to say
that while it's tue that a book or a
television program can teach something,
what it can teach is methods of doing
things. It doesn't cause people to do
things. People do things because they
want to do them, or they choose to do
them, or they are impelled to do them,
bur not just because they read a book or
watch television programs that lead them
to do it.

and the evidence so far—though its
clinical data, which we're not supporting
with numbers—suggests that prostitu
are raped at а far higher rate than the
average woman.
Those who were raped by people who
new they were prostitutes said that from
the very beginning there was language
ed—the rapists alluded to pornograph-
іс movies, violent movies, and they
essentially said to them, You enjoy this;
we know you enjoy this because you're

you enjoy it. I think it's a small portion

now doing if their objection were to
books about atheism or communism in-
ad of books about pornography? And
would you be in favor of a boycott
against bookstores that sold books about

you would not, then it seems to me that
you can't be in favor of a boycott against

1 know from my own experience how
recent the specter of censorship is and
how the ax usually falls on writers of
literary merit, not on the people turning
out pulp novels in a factory. And that
a very dear and very present danger
even today. Now, I do think we should
be aware of destr iveness toward wom-
cn in pornography and ] think we
should be aware of sexism and patriar-
1 violence against women, but I don't
think we should ever call for censorship.

Because censorship will most likely be
used a it comes back. And it
will be used against not only feminists
but all civil libertarians, all writers, all
painters, all artists, all people who want
to liberate society. 1 think that we should
write about, talk about, have conferences
about hatred tow d child
pornography. We should raise conscious-
ness, and that is an ongoing task. But I
don't think we should ever again allow
censorship on any pretext whatsoever.

inspired to plan a supersonic Paris week-
nd of less than 72 hours that is packed
with the full flavor and romance of
nce's most glamorous city. The
time for gastronomic adventure at
nonpareil bastions of haute cuisine, time
to revel in the excitement of Parisian
night clubs and frantic discos and, per-
haps even more important, time to savor
a walk beside the Seine as dawn begins
to light the sky over Sacré-Cocur. And
the instrument that puts this swift but
completely captivating taste of Paris at
your finger tips is called the Concorde.

In the excursion we've planned for
you, you'll board the Concorde in New
York early Friday afternoon and arrive
in Europe not long after dinnertime.
No overnight jer lag here; rather, just
enough time for a little Іше supper on
foreign soil, a look into a new disco or
а nightcap at an intime ad a
pleasant slumber in preparation for a
Tull day ou the Continent.

The return schedule оп the Concorde
is at least as fortuitous, for its supersonic
path from cast to west passes through
the intermedia speeds far
faster th So
it’s possible to leave Europe around 11
o'clock on a Monday morning, soar over

mental preparation, stamina, some "game

above all. a dinner reservation. This

A gray Fiat was behind him. He attempt-

him by 100 yards and he didn't dare
slow down.

now said. He pressed down the pedal
and prayed the French police would not

that if this happened, the voice in the

bullet would dispose of Blackford Oakes.

out the rear window, clearly to satisfy
himself that his car was following. A few

The talking had stopped and the three

the sweat of his agony suppurating
through his shirt, his hands bound be-

like that in those final moments. In her
mind's eye, she saw them together, Theo
and Blacklord, and she recalled, in a
way she had entirely forgotten, the com-

wondered that so professional a man as
Colonel Bolgin should be taking such
voluptuary satisfaction, even in such a
work of counterintelligent art. Sverdlov
was fascinated by the fixity of Bolgin's
aucntion to the photograph.

Finally, Bolgim slid the print back
into the envelope and looked up. His
voice was preternaturally steady.

"Well done. 1 shall meditate the uses
to which we shall put the photograph-

Sverdlov, though disappointed that he
had not been offered a view of the ex-
pensive photo, snapped his heels to-
gether and left. Bolgin, left alone, dug
his nails into the side of his face—unt
he felt moisture at his right index finger.
Alarmed, he walked over to the mirror.
He had actually drawn blood on his
right cheek. Calmly, he went into the
bathroom's medicine closet and. applied

ALPINE SKIING

The Alpine version of skiing originat
ed а couple of centuries ago. when the
mountainous countries of Europe im-

ported the sport from Scandinavia and
developed their own styles of precipi-
tous downhill competition.

Even so, the Scandinavian countries
excelled in the early winter Olympic
meets. In recent years, however, the Al
pine countries—nots
land and France—have regained control
of the sport they developed. The French
skiers, led by Jean-Claude Killy, were
dominant in world competition from
the mid-Sixties until the early Seventies,
but the Swiss and the Austrians have
shared most of the medals since.

American skiers have always had the
potential to compete for top honors-
and, indeed, have won a few Olympic
medals over the years—but have never
had the sheer numbers of skilled skiers
to compete with the Europeans. Ameri-
can women, on the whole, have done
better in world competition than Amer-
ican men

The future, however, looks bright. Al
pine skiing has skyrocketed іп popu
ity in the United States during the past
decade and the talent pool is growing
accordingly. American skiers have tra
ditionally done far better in the slalom
and giantslalom events than in the
downhill, since few ski resorts are will-
ing to turn an entire top-to-bottom run
over to a few racers

The Russians and the East Germans
have never been important [actors in

the world Alpine skiing competition,
because they don't have the lacilitics—
ski resorts and other expensive
pings of capitalist decadence—nece
for the training of Alpine skiers, and
so far they haven't been willing to spend
the money to build them.

Alpine skiing competition consists of
three three ladies’
plines—downhill, slalom and the longer
giant slalom. Success im the downhill
depends on an uncanny sense of equi
librium, excellent reactions and, above
all else, raw courage. Success іп the
lom events depends much more heavily
on subtle and highly sophisticated tech:
nique, plus the bodily skills of an acro-
bat and a gymnast. In
Sweden's Ingemar Stenmark
the absolute master of the slilom events,
while the Swiss and the Austrians (cs
pecially Franz Klammer) have led the
way in the downhill.

American hopes for success at Lake
Placid are placed mostly on Phil Mahre
and Cindy Nelson. Mahre would have
an excellent shot at the gold medal in
the slalom were it not for the presence
of Stenmark, and Nelson figures to crowd
the Swiss and Austrian women in the
downhill. Other top American hopefuls

Direct-to-Disc and digital re-

increased signal-to-noise ratio аге
just a few of the phrases used to de-

In order to capture all the bene-

Doctor discovers method

of regaining lost hair

Once Attainable Only in Private Doctor Run “Baldness” Clinics,
Now You Can Receive Biotin Directly Through The Mail!

Scientists nation-wide are raving about a spe-
cial treatment of Biotin, the H vitamin, and
absolutely fantastic test results that have been
attained by a city doctor using Biotin as the
reactivating agent in the revival of dormant
hair roots!

Hundreds upon hundreds of men and
women who were losing their hair have
flocked to the expensive newly created
treatment centers where ‘specially trained"
personnel apply a Biotin gel to these people's
scalps го get their hair to grow lush and full
‘once again.

Now, you can do it for yourself right at
home for hundreds of dollars less. With the
same results. With Biotin Solution Hair Res-
toration Gel.

Biotin Solution Brings Life
to Dormant Rootlets.

Each hair on your head grows for an average
of four years; then it enters into a dormant, or
rest, stage before a new hair coming from
beneath the scalp in the same root channel
pushes it out. The balding/thinning problem
develops when the new hairs force the old
‘ones out, but fail to continue to grow them-
selves.

The hair stops growing because the hor-
mone androgen (testosterone) shortens your
hair's growing phase. Quite plainly, your hair
rests too soon! This is not an unnatural pro-
cess: almost every man alive has noticed that
his hair starts to thin as he becomes more
mature . . . and it's the accumulation of the
testosterone hormone that does it!

When the testosterone accumulation in-
creases to too great of an extent, the hair's
growth cycle becomes so very short that only
“fuzz” (or less!) is grown! The dormant cycle
has taken over. If that’s what has happened.
or is happening to you, Biotin Solution Hair

Biotin Solution Controls

Excessive Hair Loss, Too!
The average person's hair loss (male and
female) is between 50 and 100 hairs per day.
That's not really very many. Are you losing
more than that? Are you finding hairs on your

In the intensive research done with Biotin,
in addition to proving Biotin able to catalyze
hair growth in dormant scalps, Biotin

to do is massage a small amount of Biotin

WALKING-THE HEELING ART

doing the stroll isn't pedestrian anymore. it's
healthy and keeps you in touch with your sole

time, anyplace and in any weather. Energy efficient and

thorough, walking exercises practically every muscle in
your body and you will probably be able to do it as long as you
live. You won't need to buy special equipment, join expensive
clubs, shanghai opponents or partners and, best of all, you're
probably doing it more or less effectively already.

Walking is the world’s most popular outdoor sport and great
conditioning for the most popular indoor one: It makes your
body stronger, more durable and a lot better to look at. And
judging from the rash of books on the subject published during
the past few months, walking may be America’s newest fad.
You can lose weight merely by adding a walking program to
your dissipated routine. А 154-pound person who walks three
nd a half miles in an hour will lose а pound every 12 days.
And while walking won't give you steel-belted Schwarzeneggers,
it will increase your muscle tone, straighten your posture and
let some of the air out of your spare tire.

Walking also makes you feel as good as you look. As an
acrobic exercise for cardiovascular fitness, walking briskly or
running the same distance is considered of comparable value.
Walking helps prevent the “rust” of atherosclerosis and reduces
the likelihood of loafer's heart—a weakening of the heart mus-
cle due to lack of exorcise. Physicians prescribe walking
programs to treat such disparate corporeal maladies as insom-
nia, anxicty, hypertension and arthritis.

The intellectual and physical benefits of walking have been
endorsed by an impressive array of all-star thinkers. Aristotle's
students were known as the Peripatetics—"walk-arounds" —
because of their floating outdoor classroom. Wordsworth sup-
posedly sauntered 14 miles а day and both Freud and Einstein
developed some of their great theories on the hoof.

Walking is not a sport for gear freaks. No special outfits
are required and, unless you prefer looking like а sweat-
stained mailbag, you can walk comfortably in your most debo-
nair street clothes. Eschew the fabled joys of loose footwear in
favor of a sturdy, comfortable pair of leather shoes with low

the sidewalks of New York or other pitiless pavements, you'd
better wear a running type of shoe with a well-cushioned heel.
Rugged terrain calls for boots with ankle support and lug
soles. About the only walkingrelated paraphernalia is а pe-
dometer, which for 815 or $20 can show you exactly how far
you've gone and show the world that you're into more than

Walking is a virtually injury-free sport that should be
accomplished somewhere between a shuflle and a forced march.
The American Heart Association says, “Walking briskly, not
just strolling, is the simplest and also one of the best forms
of exercise,” but don't overdo in the beginning. Hiking and
backpacking authority Colin Fletcher states that if you can't
carry on a conversation, you're walking too fast.

five minutes of slow walking or a set of basic warm-up and
stretching exercises, such as the ones recommended by the
American Medical Association. To glean walking's full crop
of aerobic goodies, you must walk regularly and persistently
increase your distance, speed and stride. Increasing distance
is simple enough: Walk farther. To determine your walking
speed, measure your stride (or estimate it from an average male
stride length of two and a half fect), count the strides you
make in a minute, multiply the figure by 60, divide by 5280
to calculate miles per hour. Ап average-sized man walking
120 steps per minute goes 3.4 miles per hour. Boost that to 130
steps and he makes 3.7 miles per hour. Longer strides are the
next best way to increase speed and endurance and thus pro-
long your optimum pulse beat. All you do is count the number
of strides it takes to cover а specified distance and start cutting
them down.

Remember that it isn't only how fast you move or how far
you go. Consistent improvement also matters. One conditioning
program claims that top fitness can be achieved and main.
tained by walking three miles in 41 minutes five times а wcck.
Consider that a goal—a remote and somewhat arbi ary one.
Your own common sense will tell you how much walking for
ercise is good and pleasurable for you. Soon enough, there
will be creeps telling you you're not doing it fast enough ог
long enough. If you're compubive about that sort of thing
and give in to their critiques, a hearty regimen of walking
won't do you any harm. But do remember that walking there
is all the fun.

When you've worked up to three miles, you'll find that
walking is good for more than exercise, fitness, meditation,
medication and, if you have the smarts, an opportunity to
chew some gum. You can also see the sights. А three-mile jaunt
will get you over the Freedom Trail in Boston, from the World
Trade Center to the Empire State Bui ding in New York. On
rainy days, you can even turn inward and do your footwork in
the miles of galleries in the Smithsonian Institution.

Beyond all these advantages, few human activities are as
graceful, sexy and sociable as walking; and whether you do it
on the wild side, in the rain or with your baby back home, do
it tall—like a man—and we promise that you'll never have to
do it alone.

HAPPY FEET:
THEY NEED YOUR SUPPORT

Because the doctors at the Illinois College of Podiatric
Medicine—which operates the largest foot dinic іп the
world—have шешей so many cases of runner's knee, heel
and shin splints, they've opened a sportsmedicine center to
put runners back on their feet. They think walking is a great
idea. We talked with Dr. Lowell Scott Weil, director of the
clinic and team podiatrist for the Chicago Bears, where he
kecps running back Walter Payton, among others, on his
feet. Here are Weil's tips for happy feet:

Corns or calluses: Work on them with a pumice stone. Go
to a podiatrist if they persist. Don't use acid-soaked pads—
they'll attack healthy tissue as well as the callus. Corns on
toes could mean bad shoe fit.

Blisters: Bathe them in alcohol, puncture with a sterilized
needle, drain fluid and cover with Band-Aid. If you plan to
continue a walking regimen while the blister heals, swathe
the area in petroleum jelly, cover with a sock and smear
more petroleum jelly between the sock and the shoe. ‘This
procedure will reduce friction, arresting further injury.

Ingrown toenails: Avoid them by trimming nail even with
the end of the toe, conforming to the toe’s curve—not
straight across.

Alhlete’s foot is a generic name for any foot fungus. Most.
commercial treatments may work on one fungus and not
another. It's best to see a podiatrist and have a culture
taken. It may not be athlete’s foot at all—but eczema or some
other skin condition that really requires a doctor's care. To
prevent fungus, wash [eet with soap daily, dry them com-
pletely and use a foot powder—it kills germs and reduces
fri Cotton socks keep your feet drier and less prone to
fungus. Forget about bathing your feet in Epsom salts. It

| doesn’t do anything. The best treat you can give your feet is
а stroll on a sandy beach at sunset with another pair of feet,
say about a size seven.

RACE WALKING'S MANY FEATS

ег race walkers among the silliest-
хімепсе (that is, when they consider
them at all). The next time you feel an urge to chuckle
at them, consider the following facts:

+ Contestants in а 50-kilometer (31-mile) race average
seven minutes per mile. This is a considerably faster pace
than that of most joggers. The fastest recorded mile was
race-walked in under six minutes!

+ There are only two rules in race walking: (1) There
must always be some part of either foot in contact with
the ground, and (2) the leg must be straightened at the
knee for at least an instant in each stride,

+ Basic strategy in competitive walking calls for finish-
ing off an opponent long before the stretch run. Other-
wise, you may both be tempted to violate rule number
one and thus be disqualified.

+ Mexico currently has the top race walkers in the
world. Not only can short people compete successfully in
this sport but they actually dominate it.

OPENING THE В,

hane Bames is 25, attractive and the head of a successful
ion house. If all that seems too good to be true, also
consider that after just three years in business, her sales are in
the millions for menswear designs that many consider unor-
thodox. Barnes builds her looks from the basics up, dycing her
own colors and weaving her own fabrics, all the while bringing a
fresh perspective to each item of apparel. The sum total is a

inctive Jhane Barnes look that's being well received by con-
servative businessmen as well as avant types. And what does
Barnes see in the future for male iashions? “Someday, perhaps,
men will learn to appreciate the aesthetics of dress rather than the
traditions. Largely, it will be a trend to simplification and comfort.
Losing lapels, sleeve buttons, things like that.” As we said, there’s
nothing plain about Jhane. — DAVID PLATT

KEN FRANTZ

Below are three examples of Jhane Barnes's unique approach to men's fashion design. The outfit at
far left includes a multicolor silk/wool/cotton tweed single-breasted jacket featuring drop shoul-
ders and slit pockets, about $300, with iridescent double-pleated slacks, about $130, a silk shirt,
about $125, and a hand-painted multicolor wool chal ‚ about $25. At center, she has combined
a silk/acetate ribbon-weave jacket, about $350, the same slacks and added a multicolor
brushed-cotton shirt, ab 5, and a chenille tie, about $25. The last outfit is slightly more
futuristic and includes a silk space-mode jacket with raised-cord detailing and matching silk slacks
with cord detailing on the pocket seams, about $430, worn with a silk shirt, about $125.

TIPS

Lets think spring. (This inter-
minable Bergman film in black and
white where everybody talks with
cloud puffs in iront of his face has
become a drag. Bring on Fellini.)

Color. The brightest in a long
while. Hot shades to stir the blood
in bold and unabashed combina-
lions. One of the niftiest outíits I've
seen is a bumt-orange jacket, tur-
quoise shirt апа banana-yellow
trousers. Watch for it.

The easiest way to break into
color is with a tried-and-true old
friend: the Hawaiian shirt. It's due
lor a revival and is being manufac-
tured in record numbers and in fan-
tastic colors and patterns.

Paradoxically, the single indis-
pensable wardrobe item for this
summer is a pair of crisp, light-
weight white trousers. The best I've
seen so lar are in a sheeting type of
labric with a double-pleated front
and tapered legs. They will serve as
the foundation for many casual and
dress outfits.

Speaking oí white, it's all the
rage for tenniswear again. Some-
how, the overly gimmicky and col-
опіці treatments оп the court are
looking tacky. Right now, a little
color trim or all white looks best.

Back to color. Keep your eye out
for those sets of web belts (some-
times in stretch materials) in all the
bright colors that have one inter-
changeable brass buckle. (Yes, like
in the Army.) They look terrific on
white slacks or as yet another bold
color-on-color mix.

A final tip: For those areas where
a jacket and tie are required in di
cos, try a knit tie with your polo-
collared golf shirt (and really do а
color trip here). The management
can't complain, and you'll be com-
fortably funky.

lewd public conduct. Until recently,
this scenario could have been a reality
in California. In 1976, that state de-
criminalized all private sexual conduct
between consenting adults, but it pro-
hibited public invitations to partake
of sex. Usually, the law was enforced
against gays, but technically, our hypo-
thetical case could have happened. The
apparent anomaly was spotted last year
by Los Angeles municipal-court judge
Arthur Gilbert in a case charging a man
with soliciting sex from a vice-squad in-
vestigator. The judge reasoned that if
you can partake of consensual sex acts
in private, you must be able to talk
about them in public. Now, inde-

pendently, the California Supreme Court
has ruled similarly in another case. At
the same time, the court has created a
new definition of lewd conduct. Now it
specifically means touching genitals for
arousal in a public place.

GOD HELPS THOSE WHO
HELP THEMSELVES

Between 10 and 15 percent of Amer-
ican women have never had
an orgasm. Despite instructive’
books such as Betty Dodsoi
Liberating Masturbation and Shere
Hite’s The Hite Report, the per-
centage of nonorgasmic women /
has remained the same for the |
past 25 years. That means the NL
Beatles’ Come Together meant
nothing to an awful lot of American
women! Most sex therapists consider
orgasm through heterosexual inter-
course their primary goal Now, it
seems, teaching masturbation tech-
niques can help women reach that goal.
After two New York researchers taught
nonorgasmic women how to reach or-
gasm through masturbation, some of
them were able to climax during inter-
course with a partner. Sixty women
who had never experienced orgasm
were divided into an instruction group
and a control group. Of the 40 women
who received instruction, 24 were able

to masturbate to orgasm. None in the
control group was. Of the 24 successes,
13 were able to transfer the experience
to intercourse.

RX: ONE INJECTION DAILY

Semen has been heavily maligned in
the press lately. It’s been listed as a
causative agent in cervical cancer (see
Sex News, December 1979) and some
women are even allergic to it (see Sex
News, November 1979). In addition to
its reproductive advantages, here's
some good news about seminal fluid.
German researchers have isolated semi-
nal plasmin, a protein in semen that
seems to kill germs. The protein per-
meates the bacteria cell wall and pre-
vents cell reproduction. In lab studies,
seminal plasmin has knocked off most
of the common bacteria that infect
man. Researchers speculate that semen
may keep sexually active women from
developing vaginal infections. It also
fights bacteria naturally found in semen,
thus protecting the fragile sperm. We
wonder—does it kill the germs that
cause bad breath and tooth decay? ЕВ

which are true and which are merely fig leaves of our imagination.

that day onward.
