...excellent cover story on an excellent actress-Sandy Dennis [Sept. 1]. Aside from her abundant talent, it is reassuring to know that there are those in an often maligned profession who refuse to demean either themselves or their vocations by using popular opinion as a constant beacon. Mrs. Mulligan serves as a rare illustration of the fact that those with sufficient will, intelligence, sensitivity and courage have little need to compromise themselves to succeed...
...effort by the people of Watts to keep their own community peaceful, a self-help project that even the nationalists could not demean, although it came from a coalition group. Lou Gothard, an active member of TALO, thinks this kind of unity is a necessity for community action.

Was Mr. Mailer's diatribe necessary to insure "full academic freedom," "scholarly inquiry," or "full discussion of the issues...
...Russell and Dick Gregory, he is in all respects a headliner, working the best places, such as San Francisco's hungry i and Hollywood's Crescendo. Cosby, a tall and soft-spoken former Temple University halfback, refuses to make racial jokes, on the moot ground that they demean the race. He talks about kindergarten and old radio shows instead, and sets up an imaginary football game between college boys and mature gorillas. Nipsey Russell claims that he similarly tries to avoid racial humor, but his act often makes use of it nonetheless...
