...John Wayne at 62, fully clothed, fat and half blind, is capable of generating more excitement, sexiness, tenderness, courage, humor, honesty, understanding, peace and, in the same breath, revolution in every man, woman or child who watches him on the screen for one performance than all the nudothespians of Hair, Che! and Oh! Calcutta! combined could produce on stage if they were to do their thing from now until the year 2010, when they reach the Grand Duke's age. Hell, they can't even compete with the fig leaf on TIME'S cover, which has more...
...skim over that water as if it were a pool, and the heroism of the early sailors on their scary voyage would resemble that of fearful children in the dark. What the explorer does by courage, the settler does by habit. What the father does by taking a deep breath, the son will do with a yawn.

Frank Cassell, professor of industrial relations at Northwestern's Graduate School of Business, detects a widespread malaise that affects even these high-priced junior executives. "Young Northwestern alumni are wondering about the meaning...
Miss Winters' second sentence is, of course, a parody of all the clothes-lessness-is-next-to-Godliness homilies of hippies, nudists, protesters and naked theater advocates, who have somehow managed to equate the altogether with the unattainable: total honesty, innocence, understanding, peace and, in the same breath, revolution. Protesters who stop traffic or disrupt the work of a draft board by taking off their clothes use nudity as a kind of nonviolent Luddism. But artistically undressing is too easy. If a dramatist can substitute a mute nude for the interplay of character and situation, he will be tempted...
